Rats and drowning come to mind

Worked outside on the patio project for three hours this afternoon before being driven into the car by progressively wetter rain, and the absence of a snorkel. This blip represents my feelings of frustration at not having finished two days ago due to dodging the cloudbursts, and the isolation provided by the steamy windows. Decided to cut and run, and was restored by a hot shower and log fire. Checking the weather has raised my hopes of progress tomorrow......with a following wind I might almost complete the job. Then it will merit a blip of it's own.
