Cleo

Woken up at 8.30 by thunder and lightning.  Opened the patio doors to let in Gece the garden dog who really doesn't like thunderstorms, then went back to bed with a cuppa. Late morning and I managed to walk Rufus in a half hour no-rain window and again mid afternoon I was able to entertain the woofer with fifteen mins of 'fetch'.  Several cats found shelter in my home and/or on my balcony including Cleo who has sat on my table by my side for the entire day (other than dinner time of course) because although the thunder and lightning moved on fairly quickly this morning, the rain (currently torrential as I write this)  has been a loyal companion throughout this dullsville and dreary, still melancholic after recent news, day.
