What odd weather we have had today; Sun, rain and thunder, sun, wind, sun and wind, sun, thunder and rain, sun, thunder and hail and sun, bit more wind, a rainbow... you get the picture.
I had my elbow looked at by Nursey today - she was brutal with the cleaning. That's right, Love. Get in there, it's only a GAPING WOUND. I mean seriously there was no need. At one point she even started picking. I kid you not. I had to tell her that what she was pulling on was still live and that I'd hit her if she carried on. OK, I lied about the 'hitting her' part but trust me, I thought it. Still, it's healing well and I'm a bit more able with my right arm every day. (Can't wait to be able to straighten my hair.)
Dog and I did a couple of circuits by the river this evening. Approximately 5 miles. The weather was in a 'sun' phase when I got home and quickly descended into 'thunder and rain' so I donned my very old waterproof trousers. I say they're very old, I've had them years and worn them about 3 times. The reason being they are WAY too short for me. I have to wear them low so they cover my boots and then the crotch is by my knees... anyway - it was belting down - I didn't care - I put them on. I also put on the only waterproof jacket I have which is a battered old ski jacket. Got down the to the river just as it stopped raining and the sun came out. I must have been 110 degrees in that flipping coat! We walked a few miles, dog chased her ball and I was starting to feel like a right numpty for being waterproofed to the max. However, I actually saw (only) 2 other dog walkers while we were out and they were waterproofed and looking like they felt like numpties too so that was OK. This is when 'thunder, hail and sun' kicked off. Holy moly! That was one moment in my life to find myself glad that I was roasting in my ski jacket whilst wearing a stupid looking pair of waterproof trousers. It was actually kinda fun. I stayed totally dry (yey!) and dog was belting around like a loony, loving the rain and getting a little freaked out by the thunder. That downpour actually added about another mile and a half onto our walk because we were both just having too much fun to go home yet. It was cool. We then got blow-dried by a gusty wind on the way back to the car. Which was just as well because it occurred to me that I'd get my car seat wet when I got back in it. I know what you're thinking; "take them off". I know, I know but I couldn't without removing my boots and... well it would just get messy. So anyway that wasn't an issue because I was dry so we jumped into the car and headed home. This is where 'rainbow' phase of today's weather kicked in - it was a full rainbow right over Kilvey Hill. It was pretty.
Anyway. I'm boring myself so I'm going to bed now. Night.
