What Snow?

Another week over and no snow. Well, not enought to speak of, maybe enough to dust the top of a christmas cake with but definetely not enough to get rudolph and the sleigh out. This despite continued weather forecasts of heavy snowfalls above 300metres. We are at 490m and nothing, zilch, nada, bugger all.. i am upset as i wanted to get out and make a bonne homme de neige, maybe later?
So with all this snow forecast and temperatures down to -1 during the day the work planned for outside has been temporarily postponed. What to do? so much to choose from, shall i sand down the plasterboard in the roof and paint it? try plastering the walls? render the wall behind the fireplace? Lay the edging floor tiles in the lounge? lay the tiles in the kitchen ohh the list is endless, now where did i put that pin?
Has a cup of tea, closes eyes and brings pin down onto list.... hmmmm lay edging floor tiles, great, more work on my knees.. think i will just chop my legs off as i seem to be always shuffling around on my knees recently!
Better go and get tiles from barn...shuffling off whistling "Hi Ho Hi HO it's off to work i go"

    mandy; correct answer, full marks gold star for you. It is a snowman. Still not enough to make one yet. In fact the sun is out and it has reached a dizzy 8° today!

    recipe for? Firewater or how to be a layabout?
