Surprise

 I was up at my usual time this morning and sat quietly over a cup of coffee while I read the news. Once Di had come down, I went for my shower, then came down to grab breakfast, which I enjoyed while on the weekly Zoom call with the cousins. The call seemed a little restrained this week; there was plenty of chat, but we didn't go off piste into flights of fancy like we sometimes do.

When I returned from my Zoom call, I was surprised to see that it had been raining and was still looking quite threatening. I would have to find an indoor project until it dried up. I returned to my video editing for an hour or so. I have now started on the material for 2022.

Once everything had dried up, I headed out for my walk. It was still looking a bit threatening, so I didn't stray too far, just looping round the estate a few times. My latest "Alex Delaware" novel by Jonathan Kellerman was playing in my ear as I walked. By the time I arrived home, the sky was looking ominous, so Diane brought in the washing. Despite her caution, there was no rain, but it's good to be sure.

I munched through a couple of small wraps for lunch and then settled with my Kindle (Diane was in her sewing room working on another project). Late in the afternoon, I returned to the study and started looking at the best approach for updating "barnowl", one of my Raspberry Pis. This will be a small side project to keep me amused.
