Why?

Dougal "You can stop the rain indoors why don't you stop it out here too?"

Today we visited our dentist in Saffron Walden and I had arranged to pay a brief visit to a friend who lives there, however, my legs were in such a state that I decided to forgo this. When we got home Dougal was desperate to get out into the garden, so he was let out, upon which he sat at the edge of the veranda looking at the sky with a puzzled appearance on this face.

I have just sat about, listening to music and doing nothing today.
