rain, rain, go away

I've been completely useless the last three days. Well, aside from working, laundry, painting a bit of door hardware and staining some oak. I really feel like it's backsliding after being so very productive the last couple of weeks. It's been raining and that took away a lot of the outdoor ambition. Work has gone slow the last few days. Lots to do and not much feeling of progress, so when I get home I just don't feel like expending a lot of effort.

Tomorrow is supposed to be cold and sunny. I hope the freezing temps don't completely kill the garlic. I tried to cover it with some mulch before the rain hit to give it a bit of insulation.

I got out a selection of books for the trip to England. That's always my first stage of packing for a trip. Once I've selected reading material, everything else can happen.
