done and dusted
Matt King: 'Thank the holy mother for this cool change. A week of playing Henry in 40 degrees and a wool jacket was making me pee dust.'
You said it, my lad. It has been just awful. I know other folks have being doing it much worse elsewhere, and I regret that, but this last week has been a sore trial, and one I failed, as always (that lack of good grace, my constant failing). Failed the garden, too, but what could I do? Throwing buckets of grey water scooped from sinks and tubs at the problem didn't make a bit of difference. The herb gardens are completely gone. Sigh. Why, I ask again, is half the country under water but my garden is reduced to brown withered sticks and stalks?
This land of drought and flooding rain really takes the pickle sometimes, you know?
