Relief

THE RAIN FINALLY CAME.

We decided yesterday afternoon it was worth getting some food to cook for a change. It has dawned upon me I haven't had any meat since last Saturday (venison). Just fish all week. The Fox has done a bit better as he had some meatballs at the restaurant on Monday. So we've bought a nice piece of belly pork to slow roast for today.

It is, therefore, with relief that I discover although it's bright & sunny today, there's a cool breeze too. The oppressive heat of late is broken. We can enjoy our piping hot mugs of tea once more. And we can look forward to a good nosh up as well.

I've just been talking to MK on the phone. Even he's breathing much better now. He managed the whole conversation without having to resort to oxygen. Hopefully we'll get round to see him & Helen one day in the coming week.

Life can get back to normal again. We can all breathe again. At least for a few days.
