Off to the pool again this morning (see first vid below). It was chucking it down and the traffic was terrible. You wonder why the traffic is worse when it is raining. I don’t see many people walking to work when it isn’t raining so where do they come from? I guess they might be parents saving little Johnny from getting wet at the bus stop.
The pool temperature was back to normal this morning. Yesterday it was far too warm. Something had gone wrong somewhere. You could almost make a cup of tea using it.
Back at the ranch we are getting ready to head off to Venezia tomorrow. Check-in completed, gadget chargers & adapters packed etc etc. Exciting. It is particularly exciting this time because Anne is coming and she is noticeable excited 🙂 We are doing everything comfort – 1st class train to London, business class tickets on BA, nice hotel (L’Orologio) with deluxe rooms facing the Grand Canal. Why not eh?
I dropped Tom off at Newark Northgate this morning and Joe has just arrived back from Charlotte’s in Cumbria. The house is approaching normality. When we get back from our holiday Joe will have gone and Hannah will only have another day at home before she shoots off back to Durham.
Last night we killed the fatted calf for Tom’s farewell meal. Tonight we wring the neck of a four breasted chicken for effectively Joe’s last supper. We like to party:)
All is now calm and the rain has stopped…
