Mostly Wet.

It rained heavily all morning and through into the afternoon. Didn't take any photos so here are some from the last few days. 

I drove down to the Co-Op later in the afternoon. It had stopped raining and normally I would have enjoyed the 15 min walk there but we needed milk and while it is a lot cheaper to buy two they're quite heavy even in a back-pack. Shops close at 4.00 on Sundays so I picked up a few bargains at 75% off; black pudding, proper ham from the deli counter not the pre-packed stuff full of chemicals, sushi which I had for supper and two smokey black bean burgers. When I was out I noticed how warm it felt, the winds must have swung right round to the south again.

I gave my study a good tidy today. With one box (of curtains) going up into the loft and a large box of modelling paints into another cupboard the study looks much roomier. I also wiped down most of the surfaces and went through the various pots of pens, pencils etc throwing out any nonworking pens. Later I filled my test profiteroles with cream leaving out some for Peter as he's not into cream and they were pretty good  so I may well make some if we have guests.

Update on Patch - he's had a large cyst on his head for about a year which I think was where I took a tick off his head (not an uncommon occurrence at Dingles). After yesterday's cat fight I checked him over especially his head and ears but found no traces of blood. However today I notice that his cyst has deflated so I guess that it got punctured in the fight. I'll have to keep an eye on it for infection as cat claws are dirty. I may even try and trim or shave the fur there for a better view but Patch doesn't really like his head being checked.
