...Raindrops keep falling...

Up at 6.00 this morning to go fishing.

Absolutely hammering down with rain. Mobile rang at 6.05....Shaun....."Not going in this", he said. "Me neither"....."Meet you at the hut at 10.00."

So back to bed for a couple of hours.

Up again at 9.00, not a drop of rain. Rang Shaun, "Bring your gear", he said, "we can do a couple of hours on our own pond".

Got to the hut about 10.10, had a coffee and a chat then went to get the gear out of the car.............and the Heavens opened!

Gave it up as a bad job at 12.20 and came home. It's carried on peeing down all day.

Phoned Dad to wish him happy birthday and remind him not to take his warfarin....operation on again this Friday....he was out!

Phoned my sis to see how her latest dose of chemo went....and she was out!

Watched the rugby, France beat Ireland...boo!

Put all the fishing gear away.

Got a text message from a colleague wishing me Happy Birthday, three days early!

Pootled about all afternoon.

Just eaten a concoction of pork, noodles, onion, mushrooms and spices, the Boss's own creation (yes, thankyou for asking, she's better again).

Phoned Dad again, he'd been out with my sis, celebrating his b'day. He's waiting for Friday, hoping to get feeling back in his right hand.

Just blipped this, now it's time for a shower then off out for a beer with D and B.


Oh, and it's still raining. Never mind, the forecast for tomorrow is sleet and possibly snow in the North East on Friday, just when I'll be taking Dad to the hospital.

Das vidanya.
