It’s been raining… and raining… and raining. We did expect this type of weather but it
really would be nice to have a rest from it for a day. I think the gloomy weather was starting to
get to us and as soon as that thought entered my head I looked out to find the
most gorgeous reddish glow over the marina as the sun set. It was just in time. I raced out to take some photos and Andy from
nb Josephine called out “Are you taking photos to prove that sometimes the rain
stops?!” Well, it sure seemed that way!
Today Mick went off on the bus to Stafford to B&Q… again…
as the item he’d been sold yesterday in Etruria turned out to be the wrong one
for the job. We did some internet
research and found what he needed. It
said that it was in stock at B&Q in Stafford. Just to make sure we rang and asked them to
set the last 2 items aside for him to collect today. He headed off in the pouring rain across the
muddy marina field.
When he was on the bus on the way back to the marina from
Stafford I walked out to the main road to meet him. Despite the constant rain I just had to get
out! It was quite enjoyable sloshing
along in the mud and rain but it seems there’ll be laundry to do tomorrow. Mick’s shoes were saturated and we both had
mud splashes everywhere.
This afternoon he got to his task while I was out having a
coffee on nb Ewn Ha Cul. When I returned
it seems he’d had a mini melt down. After
all the rainy bus trips to get what he wanted, the 2 tins he’d returned with
from Stafford had a use by date of 2008 and wouldn’t work! He’s not happy.

Add, I really don't recall all the rain now. Mick often says something about how much it rained in England but I don't remember it being that bad. I do, however, clearly remember the frustration of trying to find a can of spray foam!!
