Hopeful....

We woke to heavy rain this morning -  weather which seemed to echo the feelings of many folk across the pond today.  The result took me by surprise when the  news reached us in the early hours of the morning here.

Violet was so much better today and although reluctant at first to go to nursery, once there she enjoyed her day and  was not keen to come home!  Meanwhile her Mummy is very tired but enjoying the challenge of her new job.  Two days away on a training course will complete her first busy week.

Whilst we had the chance, Mr MC and I spent the rainy day rewriting job descriptions for some roles in our business: necessary work but so boring tiring after a while, so we were glad to get it done on a wet day when nothing could be usefully achieved in the garden.

My blip is of Peggy Sue looking hopeful in the expectation of treats which she was lucky enough to receive.  I'm so sorry for those in America who's hopes were dashed today: there are difficult times ahead for them I fear.
