Grey skies and wet feet

Well the painting that was meant to take three days max has turned into over a week and I can honestly say that if I never see another paint brush or tin of paint again, it will be far too soon. As you can see in the photos I seem to have got a bit painted myself and due to the bad weather the solar panels aren't generating any hot water...so the paint is stuck there until it decıdes to come off of it's own accord. Brilliant.
This dress was an absolute star purchase of mine in January from Zara. It was nine pounds and has seen me through bad weather with tights and a blazer, as well as the hot weather with just a pair of sandals. I love it. Not the most flattering of dresses but one can't be too fussy.
I am seriously missing England now. The shops, the food, my friends, my family...even the shitty weather this tme of year. I never knew the extent of my Englishness. Not long now.
