Had a brief chat

And because I am hopeless, I had a cheeseboard/plowmans lunch for dinner. Getting better at making lunch, not getting better at bringing it to work 

There is something quite satisfying about eating chilled grapes with cheese

I saw Gary’s boyfriend on a book cover

Just to let you all know that I survived Storm Ciara at the weekend, although apparently it caused seven deaths as it moved on across Europe. My only real problem was running into a flood on the road home from the 21st birthday celebration. By the time I saw the sign warning of the flood, I had already driven into it. I suspect the County Council had put the sign up on a dry part of the road, and the flood had deepened after it was erected. Deciding not to drive backwards back out of it, as I worried that the water might block the exhaust if I did, I drove very slowly, in first gear, the 200 yards or so to get through it. I passed two abandoned cars left in the flood on the other side of the road, and panicked twice when the lights dimmed and the engine stuttered, but fortunately the car kept going. A hairy few minutes; it was after dark and there was hardly any other traffic on the road. I thought I may have had to stay in the car until rescued if it had stalled...

And now I see the UK Met Office have issued a warning for Storm Dennis, which is expected to bring more heavy rain and strong winds at the weekend. They do say that it shouldn't be as strong as Storm Ciara. Fingers crossed it isn't, but these storms do seem to be getting more frequent and much stronger in recent years...

What sort of cheese? Some types are, as you likely know, better suited than others.

 The weather has become the enemy. That's our fault.

Maybe if you stopped writing the kind of stories that generate such thoughtful and heartfelt comments you'd have more time for us. Or maybe just maybe I could invite Chase to come to mum's for a nice southern vacation ...

Chase is a pretty sweet guy, and he could use the offering of a kind and gentle hand... I know you and Mum would treat him well.    I'm amazed at the reaction to this story... the interaction and insights are incredibly rewarding. My brain may be tired, but it's happy.   Um... could I accompany Chase? I won't get in the way, I promise.

Just got back from my walk. Beautiful sunny day. Met my neighbor's granddaughter... she was in her stroller. Such a cutie, and her father was one of my youngest's best friends. He was always around.

Delete it from your Amazon browsing history. It shouldn't be a bother, hopefully.

Thank goodness you made it through those waters ok.  Hopefully Dennis won't be as bad
