We just had a very brief light rain shower in London. First precipitation I've seen in months! If I hadn't been in a meeting discussing the difference between margin and profit I'd have gone outside and done a Snoopy happy dance in it.
Eldest Beaky daughter and children are as I write being dropped by Husband Beaky at Gatwick airport to begin their LONG journey home to the Far North of New Zealand.
She is returning to a very difficult situation so saying goodbye has left me feeling anxious and in all honesty a little bit desolate.
But we have made some truly wonderful memories together as a whole family and for that I am very thankful indeed!
Trip to the town for hearing checks. Mrs Sioni in first at her soft-spoken daughter’s prompting(nagging). Turns out she does have hearing loss in the conversational frequencies, so another test for hearing aids in a couple of weeks. That should have been followed by my annual check, but someone arranged it for next Tuesday, so we shall be in town at least twice more.
Oh, and Mrs Sioni took a couple of rings to a jeweller, one for resizing (not cheap) and another for a new stone. The goldsmith will make recommendations so we could end up investing in rock.
Mixed sort of day here re: weather; I was woken by the rain rattling on the wheelie bins outside my window, and decided closed-toe shoes and a raincoat would be a wise idea. By the time I left for work it had more-or-less stopped, but started again around lunchtime. I didn't need to go out, so I didn't, and by five o'clock it was once again Very Wet. It didn't come to much though, so I wasn't as drookit as I might have been. Very warm though: 22°!!
Supper was haddock Kyiv with potato salad. I must do some grocery shopping tomorrow; I'm running out of things I can chuck together and call it "cooking".
The leitmotif of my ongoing treatment seems to be repetition. So, three surgeries: now, CT scan as prep for radiotherapy - not satisfactory. So back to surgery, to drain wound, then another scan before that can be rescheduled. Also tomorrow to see oncologist about another treatment which was supposed to happen already, but administrative balls-up. At least I hope that's what it's about.
Jigsaw has been started and one draw decluttered ahead of the new storage units I ordered last night arriving. Husband and I now agree we probably should have decorated the room first, but as I'm still dithering as to what colour I'd like maybe that can wait till later.
None of the rain promised , except a few drops this morning, has materialised.
Although we are ten minutes from the centre of our town, we’re right on the edge with lots of fields nearby. There is certainly rather a niff in the air.

Each to their own, of course.
It's stopped now.
