I would happily take your rain as well as my own! It's raining here, AT LAST, but not heavily.
Last night was so warm and muggy that I put two ice packs (the sort you get for keeping food cold) in my bed so that it would be properly cold when I got in. It wasn't enough. I kept waking up too hot and moving the ice packs to a different spot to try to maximise the chill., and it still wasn't enough!
On second pair of trousers as the first got soaked to the knee just nipping to the corner shop. As @Piglet says, stopped now but I wouldn't bet on it staying that way.
However, quite happy to settle down and watch people skelping golf balls round the shaws of north Antrim.
Rainy here in Arkland the Mugsome, with much humidity and general dampness. My Expotition to Tess Coe (unusual for a Saturday, but there were Essentials to be bought) was successful, and, thanks be to Great Lord Cthulhu, I managed to miss the heavy (but welcome) showers which are occurring from time to time...even as I write, one is pouring down.
Having just bought vast quantities of Expensive Paint, I now implore Great Lord Cthulhu (or anygod else who is listening) to abate the Rain, and to give me a chance to apply the aforesaid Paint next week.
Lunch is CHICKEN in a Mushroom Sauce, with New Potatoes, and some Baby Leaf Salad. Some of the Salad (one of Tess Coe's ready-to-eat offerings) simply has to be eaten today, as the Bag will not fit in the fridge, and has to be squashed in order to get the door to shut.
I hope Captain Pyjamas' Poorly Toe is soon better. A nasty experience, even with the Fun of being ferried about in wheelchairs...
I hope Captain Pyjamas is feeling more chipper this morning and that it doesn't disrupt the holidays too much.
The new bookshop was heaving, and long may it remain so.
The rain was indeed just limbering up, and while I was in the talon salon getting my nails done, it came down in stair-rods, and was literally stotting off the ground. Luckily by the time I left, it had eased off a bit, but not nearly enough for me to want to brave going down to Tessie's, so supper had to be what was in the fridge (i.e. salads, Quiche Lorraine and some cooked ham).
I shall however have to go to an Emporium of some sort tomorrow, as I'm supposed to be going to my sister's with some of the clan for a "bring-some-nibbles" type of lunch, and I have no nibbles.
I also have no WINE ...
A brief stop at the Co-op on the way may have to suffice.
Poor Captain Pyjamas, and what a stressful experience @la vie en rouge
I hope he’s much better today. @Nenya I agree and sympathise with your summer holiday nostalgia. My girls and I so enjoyed the relaxed mornings and little projects we kept busy with for those precious weeks. Good memories.
We will have youngest grandson for 2 days every week during the summer while daughter Erin and her husband work. Hoping for dry sunny days!

It was raining here earlier, but seems to have stopped for now; as I have to go out in an hour or so, it's probably limbering up for starting again. ☔
