What does one do on a very wet day? One pulls out one's neglected patchwork quilt and gits a'sewin.
Instructions for wet day a-la-Cath;
(1) Feed the nimerow or she'll screech until your brain explodes
(2) Shower long and hard
(3) Serve delicious lentil bhuja and pilaf leftovers and consume whilst listening to the 'Pride and Prejudice' soundtrack, gazing at mist-wreathed garden
(4) Dig out patchwork quilt that you're making for your father and arrange squares
(5) dither unproductively until Mr gets out of bed
(6) Make a pot of Rose Grey tea (Earl Grey with Rose Petals and vanilla)
(7) Sew sew sew! listen to 'Miss Potter' soundtrack and think gentle thoughts.
(8) Be puzzled as Mr goes out into pouring rain and does not return
(9) Be enlightened as he comes back in soaked and filthy (gardening). Ask what he was doing. Be amused when he says 'Digging for Clover-nuts'.....whatever that is.
(10) Sew more, drink more tea, listen to 'Braveheart' soundtrack and ponder the gross injustices visited upon one's ancestors.
(11) Take a break and blog about it all 'cos your eyes are a little tired from all the tiny stitches.
(12) Consider next move.
(13) Sew more, listen to 'Vaughan Williams' and make chick-pea curry for dinner.
(14) Wish above all else that you had a glass of wine to go with the fire that Mr has just lit.
(15) resign yourself to more tea and sewing until bedtime.
