A lot of rain and a parking ticket

It was dull and very overcast first thing and I got up and ready for work. I didn't try to take Tot as it was spitting a little so I just went to work.

Les and I had a very busy morning as it was just the two of us again. I went for our coffee when one of the other ladies came in at 11.00.

Another couple of ladies came in at 12.00 and one noticed a parking warden putting tickets on mine and Les' car. It was by this time pouring with rain as we ran out to speak to him but as the tickets were issued we couldn't do anything about it. It is a shame we did not notice him when he came to chalk the tyres as we could have moved them then. He came back half an hour later and put the tickets on. We have parked there for months and although it is a two hour parking zone nobody has ever checked. But, today, one of the wettest days we have had he comes along.

Les and I went back in for our keys to move the cars right up to the top of the hill. Coming back we got soaked as we only had sandals and summer dresses on!!!

We carried on working till 1.00 and then I went to get my car as I had my umbrella and I came down and gave Les a lift to hers. I got my feet very wet again and ended up being like a Kiwi and walking barefoot as I was slipping too much in my sandals. I won't be parking by the shop again.

I got home and had to change as I was so wet. I did have a letter from the hospital giving me my overdue appointment. I should have had a check up at the beginning of  February but as no card arrived I called when we got back from HK and still nothing so I called again yesterday and the appointment arrived today by 'fast' post. I think the whole hospital system is a disaster here.

As it was so wet I just stayed in and watched TV. I am nearly up to date with Neighbours now.

It dried up late this afternoon so I tried to take Tot out but she wouldn't go.

Jon came in from the gym, showered and then went for our fish and chips - yummy.

My friend's daughter got married today and I feel so sorry for her as she was due to be married in the grounds of a hotel but it would have had to have been inside, such a shame.
