Rain

What a cold wet day. It started raining sometime soon after I went to bed and is due to continue until I get up tomorrow. We’ve had getting on for 30mm so far.

It’s been a good day for cheese-making. A farmhouse cheddar. And a good day to stare at this view quite a lot.

I took Bean for a walk, dressed in her purple winter raincoat. She still thought it was a stupid idea, despite the fact she was relatively warm and dry. We had gone less than a kilometre before I realised she was right. The rain was blowing up the sleeves and into the hood of my waterproof coat. We turned tail and route-marched home.

Brother #3 has rallied slightly. I didn’t know what to do with that news this morning. I am so conflicted. On one hand I am happy he’s conscious from time to time. On the other hand his quality of life, should he ‘recover’ is non-existent.
