I swam in the ocean lake this morning

the sky was bright and sunny the water temperature measured LESS THAN THREE BRITISH DEGREES!!!!*

it was a bit like being electrocuted


or maybe galvanised

I came home and chiselled up all the awful old ceramic tiles covering the Boot Room floor,  filling several boxes with heavy-concretey hardcore then hefting them all outside by the back gate, then I mended all the broken things in the Boot Room and swept it all tidy and shiny. 

The Man came home and said

I see you took the floor up - that must've been nice and easy

    2. Of course. But just wait for his response when you get into bed and slide your Arctic feet along his leg...

  4. Sounds like the freezing swim got you motivated!
    Weird thing is that my boot room was tidied and cleaned this weekend - a job that has been put off for 5 years. The floor didn't go anywhere though!
    Sx

    1. I've long suspected that we might be twins, separated at birth, now living parallel lives xxx
