Another day of absolutely foul weather. It's rained almost all day, it's thundered, it's lightninged and hailed, and it's getting colder again. Even poor Phoebe has just decided to come in off the windowsill.

My wedding frock, cardigan and necklace came today, and fortunately the dress fits. It's a rather darker khaki than I had expected, so it's a good job I chose a pink hat and pale green shoes, otherwise I would just merge into the background out in the garden and the paddock!

The mother-of-pearl necklace has too short a cord, but I daresay I can extend it. I hate necklaces which make me look as though someone has me by the throat! I only ordered it because it was being modelled by the woman who was wearing the frock I ordered, because hey, if they don't know how to make clothes look good, who does? I must find my mother of pearl earrings. I wonder where they are............

Now I just need the replacement pair of shoes to arrive. I do hope they fit and I don't have to choose another pair.

Goodness, what a girly post this is!

In lieu of all the other things I'd planned to do, which had been rained off, I finally got to grips with the mysteries of Flickr this afternoon and have opened an account and uploaded a dozen or so photos. I'm not quite sure I've got the hang of it yet.

I may have to go shopping tomorrow if it's not still persisting down.  I've no idea what we're going to eat tomorrow and I might have to get something.

Goodness!  Is it that time already?  I have to go and listen to Journey into Space.

I'm absolutely freezing!   I refuse to put the heating on, although I shall have to if this weather keeps up, even if only for a couple of hours or so, just to make the house feel at least dry if not warm.

I promised to watch a film with Charles this evening, so I've kitted myself out in trousers, thick socks and cardigan.  I had to fish the cardigan out of the laundry basket.  I feel so ashamed!

I've done nothing in the yard or garden today as it's been drizzling intermittently and everything is too wet to handle. I spent all afternoon messing about with Flickr and other things; it really eats up the time.

Phoebe caught a mouse last night, so Charles informs me. Thank goodness she doesn't bring them to me, because it was apparently still alive. He let her keep it till it was dead and then took it away from her. I couldn't do that, and while I'm pleased that she's keeping the house mouse-free, I still don't like to think of my gentle little Phoebe doing that.  He said that after he confiscated it, she went round and round his room looking for it and crying as if it had been her kitten.

She's been feeling very pleased with herself today and has been keeping Bramble in his place!

I've had a headache all day again today, which I've had since before yesterday's thunder storms and I keep thinking I can hear thunder in the distance although John and Charles say they can't hear it.

I finished my application for a blue badge today and, of course, John had to make a big production of going down to the central post office to post it "in case I change my mind".  The only photographs I had were the ones left over when I got my passport and they were taken when I'd just finished chemotherapy and had hardly any hair.  I forgot to wear my wig to have them taken, so I look dreadful in them.  Maybe it will make them decide that anyone who looks that awful should get one, just for looking like that..

Ooops!  I've just remembered that I didn't have any pudding.  The sorbet is calling!
