The day, that is. Warm and Damp.
Himself wanted to go to Ramsbottom today.
He was not too happy to see it spurtling down outside.
I took my time showering and having my breakfast. I was thinking that by the time I was ready the rain might have stopped.
He was walking up and down the house like a caged lion.
'Well, are we going out or not' he asked in brusque tones?
'It's wazzing it down' was my reply.
'It isn't doing much' he said.
I relented and got my rainmac out of the front room...picked up my bag and made for the front door.
He followed.
Not doing much - that is what he said. By the time I got to the canal bridge in Clayton my hair was plastered to my skull and I needed windscreen wipers on my glasses.
'This is ludicrous' I said. I turned on my heel and made for home.
He said he was going down Acc to get some carrots.
I told him he was mad and that we wouldn't die if we didn't get carrots for Sunday dinner.
I was thoroughly wet by the time I got into the house. Rain(ok it was warm rain) was dripping off the ends of my hair. I had to dry myself with a towel.
Getting wet does not improve my humour in any way.
I harumphed round the house with the vaccum cleaner...not in the best of moods.
I decided that as it was wet and looked like staying that way I would look through the pictures stored on the disks that I discovered under my desk.
I was going to be transferring these pics to the flash drive and to the portable hard drive.
I spent time looking at the pictures.
So today(in my head and on my computer screen) I have been all over Australia.
Ayers Rock in the rain - the humidity and the warmth was about the same here as I remember it to have been there......I just wasn't plagued with flies.
Alice Springs, the walk around the base of Kings Canyon(they wouldn't let me do the 'top' walk because I didn't have a litre of water with me - I told the guide I don't like water).......surfers, Brisbane, Caloundra, Byron Bay....The great Ocean Road, Mornington. All these places I visited without leaving the comfort of my chair.
So the day has not been lost. I have backed up these pictures and enjoyed looking at them, running the videos in my head.
