Hail.

Woke this morning to see white stuff on the ground but it was only hail stones. The day itself has been a mix of heavy rain and bright sun. Peter had a long rowing session out on the river but it had stopped raining by then.

Going in to town this morning I took the precaution of wearing wellies. I had to go to the bank and then had a quick look at the sales. But if there were too many people in the shops or the queues were too long I didn't bother. I really don't need any more clothes and I've still got cards and wrapping paper so there wasn't much to interest me. I did buy myself a small pocket diary to keep a record of my daily photos. At home I got 2 bedrooms ready for our friends who are coming to stay tomorrow and did some general housework.
