Friday comes around again

The weeks seem to fly by and in no time at all it was back to The Puffin Pool again. Rain all day but this time mainly drizzle after downpours during the night. 
Mike's been making a cupboard for under the stairs to give us some more storage space. He's also pulled up the carpet and going to put down a wooden floor- that's the weekend sorted.
I enjoyed watching the start of the World Athletes from the Olympic stadium in London. My brother managed to get tickets and I'm sure he would have loved seeing Mo Farrah win the 10,000 metres. What a great atmosphere and what a great race, he really had to work for it and it was wonderful to see all the smiles and friendship when the winners received their medals.

I went outside in the dark to get a photo of the lilies that I bought from B&Q a few years ago, they are blooming well again

I found this little poem about the rain :-

It rained and it rained and rained and rained
The average fall was well maintained
And when the tracks were simply bogs
It started raining cats and dogs.

After a drought of half and hour
We had a most refreshing shower
And then the most curious thing of all
A gentle rain began to fall.

Next day was also fairly dry
Save for the deluge from the sky
Which wetted the party to the skin
And after that the rain set in.
