Will it? won’t it? Rain that is.
Hi folks
Got up at the crack of dawn today (well, before 9am anyway) so I could paint my new fence at the front with wood preserving paint before the thunderstorms that were predicted arrived. Took me three and a half hours just to do one side, and it’s not a big fence. Stopped then as my back was killing me and clouds were gathering. That was 5 hours ago and where is the storm? Honestly, you can’t trust anyone these days!
I suppose I had better go out and water the new lawn, having rushed out yesterday to buy a lawn mower so I could cut it properly before the promised thunderstorm today ,which is to be followed by at least a week of more or less continuous rain, apparently. So, what’s new?
I should have expected it really as I planted some baby vegetables – beetroot, turnip and carrots – last week and they have all put little delicate baby leaves above ground, which will now be smashed to kingdom come if the weather forecasters are to be believed.
I spent the rest of the day doing my ‘homework’ for my writers’ group. We meet at the library every other Tuesday to share our work and our ‘leader’ always sets a topic to write on, although it’s not compulsory. I usually struggle, but this time I had an idea and when I started to type it just all fell into place. Obviously it’s not GOOD, but it’s okay and fulfills the criteria so I’m well pleased.
I have a ‘Bucket List’, drawn up after I recovered from treatment for breast cancer, and one of the items on it is to write something that is good enough to be published. I’m working on it, but I’m finding that this wish is the hardest on my list to fulfill. I’m hoping that writing this blog will help by giving me writing practice.
Ah ha, I just spied a spot (spied a spot, I’m turning into a poet) of rain on my window pane (rain/pane – geddit?) I swear I’m not even trying!!! And I’ve not started on the wine yet. Must go and pour myself a glass as I didn’t take that awful Alendronic Acid this morning (see earlier post) and I must say I feel a lot better for it. Mind you, my spine might be crumbling away quietly (and serve me right for ignoring doctor’s advice).
Have a good week everyone, rain or shine.
