Rain, glorious rain

Early start. Second half of the big garden watering. The jab yesterday seems to have affected me more than previous ones - so I spent the morning nauseous and the afternoon trying not to fall asleep on my keyboard.

The afternoon brought a longish-awaited conversation which was not brilliant news, money-wise, but better than my very low expectations. But followed by trying to talk down someone who had worse news and whose reaction to it could make my life somewhat difficult.

But at the very end of the day the sky poured cooling rain down on the parched world and we threw open the windows to smell nature waking up to rejoice.

(Weather makes me poetic - it's the Northumbrian in me.)
