Temporary reprieve from at least one chore...

My washing machine died yesterday. Three quarters of the way through a load of laundry. Thankfully it was the last one for the week. Admittedly, it means I now have a perfectly valid reason to get a new one and for not doing the laundry for a few days at least.
I spent time yesterday taking advantage of the wonderful spring-like weather we had, scrubbing the outside windows,plotting to re-decorate the loft, and deciding what seeds to start, only to come inside and see the weather forecast. The weather forecast with the ever lovely red mark next to it indicating severe conditions, in this case harsh winter weather due to blow in and stick for the next five days at least. The abrupt change in weather would be more disappointing if it hadn't been so dry here over the last couple of months, we need any rain or snow that's willing to show up. Besides, a few days of bad weather means I have a chance at finishing some warmer weather knitting, before the warmer weather actually gets here. Back to watching re-runs of Bewitched and knitting things without sleeves.
