Snitch

 Soon after I came down for my morning coffee we had a shower of rain. It didn't last for more than a few minutes but it was the first rain we have had for a few weeks. More rain was forecast for 10 a.m. so I decided to defer my walk until later in the morning.

Much of the morning was spent preparing shopping lists to cover Friday's guests, and another for Sunday's guests and our usual weekly shop. We split the list in two, with the idea that we will work two separate trolleys when we raid Sainsbury's tomorrow.

I went for a nice walk. The sun was out, but a strong wind kept the temperature down. Indeed, I was glad to be wearing my leather jacket. I was surprised by how few people I saw in the hour or so that I was out - particularly as it is school holidays.

After lunch, we settled down for some Kindle time, but it was getting too hot for me in the Orangery. I decided that I would review the DashCam footage from our drive home yesterday. I didn't mention it in yesterday's blog, but as we drove into Chiddingfold, a small white van shot across the road in front of us and, had I been going any faster, I would have t-boned him. As it was, I had to slam on the brakes to avoid clipping his rear offside panel. Having found the footage, I was able to identify the type of van and read its number plate. The footage also showed that I was driving well below the speed limit. I decided to report the incident, so I uploaded the footage to the NextBase site, where it will be forwarded to Surrey Police. I don't expect anything will happen, but I felt a lot better for being a snitch and reporting it.
