Bedraggled

I had a dreadful night and didn't get off to sleep properly until around 3 a.m. but was up just after 8 a.m. to take my stand up for half an hour tablet.

Two lots of washing done and out on the line, for all of thirty minutes before the heavens opened and I had to rescue it.  It's now draped around the landing, although two damp items have now been ironed.

The blue and great tits have been racing in and out to the bird feeder and getting soaked.  The robin has been staying quite dry and showing off its collection of caterpillars but didn't hang around long enough to get a decent picture.

A camera club chum has been round this afternoon to say goodbye as she and her partner are moving up to Norfolk next week, having finally exchanged contracts.  She's a lovely, instinctive, photographer and I'll miss her.

Friend up the road has been to have a cateract done this morning so I must catch up with her to see how she got on.
