At Last

we are getting a decent amount of rain, the gardens need it badly. I have just been out to the garage and its pelting down.

I was awake for a while in the night, but still managed over 8 hours, not  bad, hope I can do the same tonight.

The felt came yesterday so I can make a start on the Nutcracker, hands and arms first............cannot make up my mind whether to do a red or white jacket...... decisions......

The road that has been closed for the last 8 weeks has opened this morning, so traffic is once more flowing from Oakham, guess there will be a stack more heavy goods vehicles once again, we have not missed them coming down the road. The school is back on Tuesday so bedlam returns.

DGD was released from hospital yesterday, she was looking forward to a decent nights sleep.

It looks like we will be giving up the mobile library from now on, we went to Thorpe Sachville yesterday and the van did not turn up, its broken down, we rang when we got home, DB was told they had our wrong telephone number despite us giving them a change of address etc.

There is a car park next to the library so we can park easily if there are spaces, its just a short walk to the library from there. We will have a bigger selction of books and can still reserve books.

it looks like the rain might ease off, it has suddenly got lighter......

No idea re supper tonight, will have to have a forage in the freezer for something.

  1. So happy for your good sleep and long may it continue.
    Bother about the mobile library kerfuffle and the wasted time when the truck didn't arrive. I prefer going to the library but with my lack of energy, I'm thinking of getting a Kindle or some such so I can download books without waiting for my turn to get the actual book and won't have to leave home.
    Our cooler weather with warm up in the coming few days before cooling again. Methinks global warming might not be the only thing, but it's more global weather change, some hotter, some cooler. It's certainly not what has been normal for decades. Wonder how the growing regions in the gardening books have changed?

    Hugs!
