Black (Forest) Friday

I stayed over at my niece’s yesterday, along with my sister. We had a relaxing morning and spent time with my sister’s grand daughters before she took them to school while mum and dad were busy with other things. Yesterday I showed them in their school uniform. Today was a ‘Casual Friday’ for them, so they could wear what they liked - civvies instead of their uniforms. See Extra photo. Why can’t WE have a ‘Casual Friday’ at work??

We left London late morning and drove back to my sister’s home in Hampshire. I had a very busy rest of the day so I left right away, but I did stop for a walk before I spent the rest of the afternoon running all sorts of errands. This forest is near where my sister lives and I like to walk here if I have time when I visit her. It was beautifully sunny, but my weather app said it was going to start raining in about 20 minutes so I didn’t make it a long walk. I got back to the car at just as it started to rain - right on cue! The app got it completely right! Except it wasn’t just rain - we had very small hailstones. It was very very loud! And the sky became very dark, almost black. Black Friday. Black Forest. Black Forest Friday!!
