Please, please don't rain

[ailbhe]

The forecast said no rain. I've just hung a load of nappies on the line, and two loads of clothes. The children are happily drawing with chalk on the patio (you have no idea how posh I thought a patio was when I was a child). And the air feels heavy and damp and cool and there are navy blue, grey and purple clouds lowering overhead. If we only had a moor, it'd be a Brontë sky (If we only had a moor, the little-known number from The Wizard of Id the musical, perhaps?).

On the other other hand I've brought in a load of dry bedding for my bed, and lots of clothes, which I now have to put away.

I think I need a new Chorewars team. One with more people with children on it. My housework burden is just way way way over what anyone else in my party does.
