On borrowed time

A day of unrelenting rain and drizzle. It certainly seems to have been very wet over the last few days and very dark and gloomy.
I made my first visit to the library for many months to pick up a couple of books I’d reserved. After negotiating a track and trace check at the entrance to the library I was allowed entry. The place was deserted. No one on the computers and no one browsing. I suspect these activities have been curtailed. Anyway I picked up my books and trundled home. Having successfully completed War and Peace I’m going to have a go at Vanity Fair - another large doorstop of a read. If I’m ever going to read it this seems the time.
