Wet

There was rain overnight, and it lasted through most of the day. I was up just before seven and was reading the news and sipping on my coffee when I heard Di moving around, so I made her tea. She was heading off to Pilates in Angmering this morning. I had to hang around until I knew when my DHL delivery was due (not that Pilates was on my agenda).


The delivery tracker was activated as the driver left the depot. I am drop number 101, so I realised that I had plenty of time. I changed into my waterproofs and headed out for a walk. I became so engrossed in my audiobook that when I got home, I continued listening to it for another hour or so. While the book progressed, I started on my accounts spreadsheet for 2026. This always takes several days to reset for a new year, as each budgeted item has to be reviewed and adjusted for the coming year. It's also an opportunity to review expenditure and cull items that are no longer needed. It always feels good to start the new spreadsheet.


As the rain continued to pour down, Diane and I settled in the lounge with our Kindles. The only interruptions were the occasional yowling from Jasper and his demands to go out (which he didn't, because of the rain).


Diane had a nice long catch-up with Denise on the phone. We plan to meet up with her at the beginning of December. 


As I sign off... my parcel still has not arrived, but I am next on the list!
