wet weather walking

everything is wet today.

it's funny, seeing these two - only a month between them, both the littlest of three siblings, growing up within spitting distance of each other (spitting for professionals) and yet so completely different - just notice the clothes. Actually, they are both just wearing a raincoat, jeans and boots - but one has a sensible raincoat, straight jeans and sturdy walking boots. The other is also wearing a sensible raincoat but it's way too big for her, skinny jeans and cowboy boots that are not only too big, they also let in water. But it doesn't matter because it's only her toes. Guess which one is my daughter?
They spent the afternoon together - first they went to choir, then they did their maths homework, then they counted money, then they watched Mr Bean on youtube. A perfect rainy afternoon.

I've been washing endless piles of clothes all day as our new washing machine came today. That may not be exciting to you but hell, when I pay out that much money for a thing, I expect to have hours of pleasure out of it, therefore, I think it's bloody brilliant.
