Spring Tide

Trip for groceries in the morning, a walk up the flooded riverside path, and pleasant things in the post in-between.  I went as far as I could up the path, which was awash with the spring tide.  Decided to turn around when I got water in my shoes.  The tide was noticeably lower on the return leg.
The mail contained a kit of refillable cartridges, which I'd finally ordered for the venerable photo printer, and a letter from the building society to say that yes, indeed, I had paid the mortgage off successfully.
