Well the rain and wind started about 9.00 last night and is every bit as heavy as last weeks episode, we seem to have one day a week. Just as well I had set today aside to do my housework.
There was a bit of a break in the weather about 1.00 and as Jon was at a lunch meeting I thought I would take my chance and get Totty out. By the time I was ready - first walk with a COAT and trainers - it had started to rain again but not too heavy so off we set. By the time we got to the park it was pouring again and we got rather wet but it was actually quite nice as it wasn't cold and everywhere looked so green and fresh.
Back home and after a change of clothes I made myself a nice chicken salad and had a beer. Jon will think I have lost it hitting the booze in the middle of the day!
Yesterday I bought some "Kiwi berries" in the supermarket and had some for pudding. They are mini Kiwi fruit and you eat them whole, skin (as it is smooth) and all. They are the size of large grapes and are really delicious. We had tried them on our tour of Kiwi 360 but it was the first time I had seen them in the shops. We were told the season is only about four weeks and they only export to Australia as they do not travel well as they need to be picked when ripe unlike the larger variety which will ripen after picking.
It rained for the rest of the day so it was a good day to do the housework.
Fish and chips tonight!
