Rain

 We are getting our share of rain these past few days, and the forecast is predicting more in the days to come.   The garden is looking quite good with the nice long drinks it is getting, however, the weeds like it too, as does the grass which will need it's haircut when the ground is drier.  It is cold this morning, only 12*C when we got up and the wind is also coming from the north which makes the air feel colder, an inside day for me unless the sun comes out and it warms up somewhat.

That's all for the weather report today, on with the news.

Not much happening on the estate today. 

Hubby is currently at an appointment to get new glasses, he has been waiting for the frames with the clip on sunglasses in come into the optician's.   It's been a long wait, due to supply and shipping issues. Late this afternoon he goes for his regular monthly visit to the chiropractor.   

Sometime ago he was diagnosed with the onset of diabetes, I have mentioned this previously, he has been taking his A1C reading for the past few days and not happy with the readings, so we are in the process of changing our eating habits.  It's difficult for someone who is not overweight and active who ate whatever in the portions he wanted.   A big learning curve, I still remember a lot of the things from my late husband who had very serious diabetes, however, I am sure things has changed since then.

The fluffies are still flying fast and furious from the tree across the street, we can't do anything outside without them getting on our face and in our hair. 

We are invited to Hubby's granddaughter's birthday dinner on Saturday,  "dinner" is really not a word to describe the previous dinners we have had there.   Really can't seem to find a word to describe the meal, so will leave it at that.   GD was 14 years old earlier this week, she is on the Autism spectrum, and going into secondary school in September, again in a special class.

Well, I should do a bit of dusting, we have had the windows open and the pollen has been coming in and settled on the surfaces close to the windows.  It is a good thing, neither one of us is allergic to this kind of thing.  Even our cars change to a yellow colour due to the pollen, thank goodness for the rain washing it all off.

So with that, I am off down the yellow brick road of dusting.

Have a great day.
