It was raining when I got up this morning and by the look of the puddles on the road it had been for some time. It stopped raining shortly after but it stayed very cloudy and that was how it was for the rest of the day. Had a shower and washed my hair before my first cup of tea, I usually need plenty of tea as soon as I get up.
Off out for my walk, it was pleasantly warm but there weren't many people about. The field was pretty wet but it was dry through the woods, walked along the walkways at the back of the houses for a change. When I got home NN was on the drive at my other neighbours' house, I just looked the other way as I came in. The hem of my jeans and my socks were soaking so changed them.
Had some lunch, did some Rootschatting then went into the garden. The very noisy children who visit one of my neighbours were there. I know children are often noisy but these don't seem to have a volume switch! They always shout at the tops of their voices and scream a lot. These things seem so much more noticeable these days when it's been such a lot quieter, it makes me wonder whether I'll have difficulty coping in noisy environments when things go back to normal. I had planned to cut the back lawn, the sound of the mower drowned the noise out and they all left shortly after. Not as a result of my mowing!
Edged the lawn, checked on my cuttings and fished out some plant food from the garage and watered the pots with the mixture, also some of the plants in the garden itself. Although the sun didn't show its face all day it was still nice enough to sit out and read my Kindle so relaxed for a while. Another fighter jet flew overhead, we've had a few lately, I know there were previously Tornadoes doing night exercises over the sea, not sure what sort the daylight ones were.
Fish for tea with jacket potato, mushy peas and tomatoes. I don't use mushy peas very often and when I had them last I used part of the tin then froze the rest so I used them up today. Blueberries and yoghurt to follow.
Watched Saving Lives at Sea, an episode I've seen before. Made me think of the reports I read on the last two weekends, the first one there was a large van stuck on the beach near the town then the tide came in and it was stranded in the sea, heaven knows what they were up to. The second weekend there was a car stuck on the beach nearer to me, someone commented online that they'd seen a car flying along the beach near the town as if it was Daytona beach, right near the areas where a lot of children play. Absolute idiots. Seems it was the same car that got stuck in the sand further along, I hope it rendered the car useless. Fortunately the RNLI weren't called to assist in cases like this, it's usually the fishermen that end up pulling them out with their tractors.
Also watched previously recorded Wonders of the Coast Walk, which was in Wales, and Secret Mediterranean.
Hope it's been a good day for everyone, no doubt sunnier than mine!
