What would Jane Austen do?

OK, no one wants to hear this, especially since all I keep hearing on the streets of Vonipcreed is what a mild fall we have had...well maybe true, but I am freezing. While we had a semi-decent day weather wise today, at 45 degree's I was freezing all day. What the heck?! I wore 4 layers of clothes...to work inside.
1. a silk thermal shirt
2. another long sleeved ski shirt
3. a cashmere sweater
4  a hooded thick fleece
Not to whine BUT I also had to add a scarf and look for the winter hat box. I might as well face it, I am totally hosed for a winter in New England. When will my thyroid realize I am not in California any more....ok, I'll stop.

I worked on the exterior door yesterday I completed taking off 4 layers of paint with a heat gun and a scraper. Today I went in with the sander and a dremel for the finishing of the painting prep. I went to RI Glass and got the glass from Norman, then went to Adler's and bought decorative hardware what that means besides large sheckles is: I got an oil rubbed bra$$ mail $lot and ordered two decent looking period doorbell$. Tomorrow we reverse the lock mechanism to the other side, trim the door, glaze the windows, fill the holes and then will oil prime. Yay...



...but all I really want to do is play parlour games...don't you? Didn't Jane?
