Why does it always rain on me?

Had some terrific weather today.
So mid afternoon I decided to take a few hours off to do some boring outside chores.
I planted all the bedding plants.
Trimmed up the other plants & bushes
Watered and fed them all.
I laid down some weed killer in the driveway.
Decided to give the D3 it's first '2 x bucket' hand wash of the year.
Guess what, midway through the wash .... it started P!ssing it down!!
Total waste of time watering, weedkilling & washing!!!

Now sing after me ... "Why does it always rain ...... etc etc". I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Crawley is just grey. It's always grey.

I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

If you had got SWMBO to do these jobs like she should have, the D3 would have been washed and polished before it rained........

Unfortunately swmbo won't get her nails dirty.
Plus she cann't tell the difference between weeds & plants.

But I agree, I got my priorities wrong ..
..I should've washed the D3 first!!

I must be lucky to have a SWMBO that is willing to do the dirty stuff..... 8) ------------------------------
