After The Rain

I was still feeling rather under the weather this morning.  It was still raining and was really dark, so  I struggled to get myself out of bed to make sure BB was getting ready for school.   Once he was off to school, I did a few chores.  Many housewifely tasks have gone by the wayside these past few weeks while I have been incapacitated.  Given the awful weather and my inability to run, I didn’t mind catching up with the chores and some cooking.  I had made no plans and had no desire to go out anywhere given the rain.  Roads around us were flooded, in fact our own road was like a loch.
 
I was contemplating going to get some lunch when BB appeared home from school, a little damp.  It was dress down today for Children in Need, so he wore shorts – so he had wet legs that were easily dried off.  I drove down into town to get lunch.  The path from the car park to the main street, was like a river.  The sandwich shop was quiet – the rain must have kept customers away. 
 
The rain stopped later in the afternoon and I risked a walk down to the river.  It was very high and very full and very fast flowing.  The day certainly brightened up a bit, but it was so late in the day, that it was soon dark.
 
TT should have been going to a fancy dinner tonight, but he had sent his apologies.  We all had a very quiet Friday evening.
