Approximately one inch of rain has fallen in just over 24 hours.
Everything looks very damp, including the inside surfaces of all the windows due to the high heat and humidity outside and the coolness of the air conditioner inside.
BGWLBH and I decided to drive into the Bay where it was very wet with a steady mist most of the day.
There were plenty of crazies on the road. Speeding in the wet. Inappropriately pulling out in front of other vehicles. Veering to each side of the lane for no apparent reason. Tailgaters. You name it. It takes a LOT for BGWLBH to honk her horn, but today she let one person have it for about 5 seconds.
School holidays and rain - not a good combination.
We updated our lotto tickets, visited Nanas Pantry, did a butcher and grocery run and bought juice.
A spruker/recruiter for the organization “Canteen” (provides support for young people with cancer) cornered me in the plaza, so I told her what I thought of them scrounging money from the poorest in the community when they should be targeting the wealthy - and I rattled off a few names.
She agreed with me (more than likely trained to agree with cynics and critics like me) and we were very polite and friendly towards each other so there was no animosity.
We were home by 3pm and after unpacking the groceries, I began preparing dinner. Nobody had eaten all day so my world was getting ‘hangry’.
I prepared chicken saltimbocca with sweet potato/potato mash and green beans with carrots for BGWLBH and I. Adoring Husband had butter chicken.
We ate at 4.30pm. That makes us officially old.
AH and I watched some tennis (from Adelaide now), then some T20 cricket (Thunder defeated Renegades in a blinder of a match) then some more tennis.
I’m in bed watching the Australian, Kokkinakis play Korda from the USA. It’s a close one with Kokkinakis in front in the third set tie breaker 4-2. Exciting!
I have to finish editing the book tomorrow.
Sleep time for me.
PS Kokkinakis won!
Nite all.
