Bit of a crap day. I spent a lot of it cleaning out the inside of the fire in the hope of lighting it tomorrow. It involves removing all the removable parts and scrubbing them with a wire brush. In the process I bashed one finger so the joint is bruised. Then I forgot to change into my good slippers, tripped on the way up the stairs, and scraped my arm. Luckily I didn't draw blood, but that's sore and bruised.
The shed was supposed to be finished today, and at least it has the windows in now, but why do men not read instructions? My friend took my carefully painted weather boards, the ones that are supposed to cover the joins between panels to keep the rain out, sawed them into pieces, and used them to edge the sides of the roof, which was totally unnecessary. Then the weather boards that are supposed to go on the inside to cover the gaps on the hinge edge of the doors, he used on two of the outside corners, where two of the slats he sawed up were supposed to go. Now he's got to buy more wood to replace what he's ruined, it won't be pressure treated as the rest of the shed is, and I'll have to paint them and let then dry before they can be put on.
Knitting wise, I've decided to leave the neck shaping as it is but add another 4 rows. It'll mean I don't end with a 12th row, but it'll be fine, With that in mind, I've unpicked the shoulder cast-offs on the back, done the extra rows and cast off again. Then I got my yarn all tangled so I spent the rest of my knitting time untangling it.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
