2017-08-30 – Grey and miserable outside.

The beautiful weather that we had over the Bank Holiday weekend is but a distant memory.  It’s looking grey and miserable outside this morning, and by the time my wife is ready to go to work it has started to rain.

There’s a break in the weather around 10am, and I scuttle out with the dog before the rain starts again.  Sure enough, soon afterwards the rain is coming down again – not that hard, but steady.

I spend my second day in a row as a travel advisor.  Karl Sterling (a fitness trainer who specialises in Parkinson’s Disease, and who is a personal friend of ours) is coming to the UK next month to run a Parkinson’s Disease workshop in London, and plans to travel to Southrepps to visit us.  I investigate the availability of Bed & Breakfast accommodation in the village, and then check out the train journey and train fares and times from Heathrow Airport to Gunton station in Norfolk.  I send Karl a detailed message – it’s a little daunting to travel around a country that you are unfamiliar with, on a train network with which you are also unfamiliar!

The rain is still falling (steadily), and the weather forecast says that it isn’t going to stop any time soon, so I put on a coat and wellies and take the dog for a soggy afternoon stroll, which is a little briefer than usual.

I feel that I have been excessively lazy (again – second day in a row) so I give the kitchen a quick tidy and wipe down, and then vacuum downstairs before my wife gets home.
