More Rain!

The weather overnight was atrocious, gales and rain. This morning was so dark with really heavy skies.

Jon went off to work and after my very late night I could have happily had a lie in. I was on the computer till midnight with Heather on the phone to me trying to load some software that will allow her remote access to sort out any problems. It didn't work again but she says it is nearly there.

I did my washing but had to use the dryer and at one point when I was down in the garage I noticed the rain was coming down so fast and not draining away and it was flooding the garage and I had to stand with the brush and sweep it all away!

I was going out with Alison to Bronwyn's birthday lunch and as I was still waiting for the photograph of Bronwyn as a child to arrive in the post from her sister I had to go down the drive in the pouring rain but it didn't come. I was going to put it into a frame I had bought for her birthday. Never mind, the thought was there. I can't understand how a letter can come from UK in five days but six days from Hawke's Bay and it hasn't arrived!!

I left to meet Alison who was finishing school at 12.30. I parked my car at school and got into hers. We drove up to the cafe through the pouring rain. There were a group of 12 and we had a jolly lunch. I didn't know any of them but we all got on well.

I got back at 3.30 and as it had stopped raining I took Tot out. When I got back I could see lots of oranges on the ground under the tree next door so I went and picked them up to give to one of my Lions friends who wants to make marmalade. Just as I got in it started to rain again and carried on till about an hour ago. At one point the rain was so bad you could not even see the lights of Tauranga across the bay.

Jon came home from work and watched the end of the Grand Prix and I did all my ironing. I really must sort out some packing!!

We had dinner and watched TV and I fell asleep!
