That Rainy Day Feeling

I can hear the rain on the roof as I write this and it's quite warm, at 17C, for midnight!

A short break in the rain at least gave me the opportunity to hop on my trike and visit the boys at the Seat of Knowledge this morning.

A miserable grey day, but the rain stopped momentarily.

The Brahminy Kites were out and feeding in the river this morning too, but they were not being very co-operative with me. The best I could get was a seagull diving for food.

You can see the fish lying on the river bed, underwater.

I was really looking forward to coming home and falling back into my routine, but this miserable weather is preventing me from getting out and about in the mornings (except for a brief period today) and I'm feeling miserable because 1. I can't get into my usual routine and 2. that gives me time to miss road tripping and BGWLBH.

I was motivated enough to make a delicious Chicken and Roasted Vegetable soup. We had it for lunch and there was enough left over to fill 7 containers for the freezer. I also made a Beef and Vegetable Casserole in the slow cooker which we ate, with rice, for dinner tonight.

On a super happy note ... Wimbledon started today! I love Wimbledon!

I won't stay up too late tonight though because my favourite, Lleyton Hewitt, plays tomorrow night and I'd really like to stay up to watch him. I don't think he will win against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, but I would like to see the match.

As I mentioned last year, at this age, I don't have the stamina to stay up all night watching every game live, the way I did ten years ago.
I have a big day tomorrow, which includes attending a Retirement Celebration Luncheon that will also be a photo shoot (of sorts) for Mrs Bucket.

I think I'm going to get that rainy day feeling again tomorrow, and again the following day.  Hopefully, it will clear by the end of the week ... because I have plenty of holiday washing to get done!

Nite all.
