Warm Winds.

Up until 5.00 the day was sometimes sunny, sometimes overcast but always with a warm wind blowing. I was taking the last piece of washing from the line when I felt a few spots of rain but the heavy rain didn't appear until later. Earlier I had taken the hoover out into the back garden to hoover up the dried up rose petals that had become stuck to the decking following some rain a few days ago. 

Speedy made another bid for freedom squeezing out of the 8.5cm gap between the patio doors. I keep forgetting that his bucket is quite flexible. With no sign of him in the back garden I walked out into the street to look for him. This time my whistles didn't work and my next-door neighbour wondered if we had got ourselves a dog. Speedy appeared in the conservatory a little while later.

Since the trundle beds are two singles I climbed up into the loft to go through the box of spare sheets and luckily I still had two fitted singles. Thinking we would have a sofa bed for guests I gave away most of the single sheets or used them as dust sheets.

The rest of my day has been spent pottering around after I gave my study yet another tidy up. It's so easy for the piles of paper to turn into a big mess if I don't keep on top of the tidying up.
