Been awol....

..but I'm still here..just. The work on the house is progressing well. The plastering of the downstairs will be done tomorrow and then it's back upstairs to do the remaining two bedrooms and the stairs and landing. The dust is unbelievable....it gets everywhere. We're still living out of boxes..but we have a bath installed and I'm taking the washing over to son and DILs. I'm going over there in the morning because we wont have any electricity or heating until the plasteres have finished..and it will be an all day job. It's a bit of a nightmare and just thinking about how it will be when all the work is finished is keeping me sane at the moment. The house has ben fully rewired with lots of sockets in all the rooms and security lighting outside. I've had scaffolding outside of the house for three weeks now and still no work started on the new roof. This is due to the bad weather making the work schedules way behind. It will get done some time soon though..I hope! I'm missing my crafting big time. Got some cross stitching done though, and I'm hoping to get a couple of parchment pieces done. Well it's time to wrap the computer back into it's plastic jackets (carrier bags)....the dust sheets are no good at keeping the dust off it. It took me two hours to clean it the first time so I'm keeping it well wrapped against the dust.
