Clouds and Angels

By the time we were ready to walk yesterday morning, it had clouded over and that somewhat dampened my desire to spend the day outdoors gardening because it was cooler than our glorious Sunday. Instead, I focused on some chores needing doing. 

After our walk, we went into the village to arrange for ana appointment at the clinic and to fetch some tomatoes from the nursery for the edible garden. The clinic is very good to me. Instead of getting an appointment in three weeks to a month, I am going in this morning at 11:40! 

When we got home, I planted the tomatoes and cleaned up one garden bed before heading out for our afternoon walk. After that, came some reading. Sadly, I am about to read the last of my Jackson Brodie novels by Kate Atkinson. And then our regular evening routine carried us through to bedtime.

Today is cloudy and Angle piss has dampened everything. What happened to those April showers made famous in song? I am hopeful that we’ll get some real rain today, but I have my doubts. I am worried about forest fires this year, and about how many trees we will lose to drought this Summer. Sigh.

Thursday, I get my second shingles shot. I am worried about that too. My first one made me sick the following day. And the nurse here says I may have a worse reaction to number two. Double sigh. 

Because it’s so dull outside, I lit a fire this morning. I shall be chillin’ today, reading and doing domestic chores. We will shop after my clinic appointment.
