Rain!

It’s been overcast most of the day and the temperature has dropped a little. I worked most of the morning, then cycled to my Pilates class at 1:30pm. Back home, we had a coffee before setting out to put up this week’s open home signs. Hubby also delivered some leaflets, while I gathered together some printed stats that need to be enveloped and delivered or posted.

By the time we arrived home it was raining slightly and the sky was quite a contrast to yesterday’s blue with white clouds.  So, not having had the chance to take a blip during the day, I blipped the view from our balcony - grey and wet. It’s now raining quite steadily, which is actually good because we need rain.
