Welcome sunshine

The sun is actually shining! I'm hard pushed to believe it. Over the last couple of days my heart has gone out to so many people who have had their homes ruined from the floods resulting from the recent downpour. We've not had it nearly so bad. Yes, there's the usual lake to the greenhouse & stream across the patio, but no worse than usual for this time of year. We ventured out along the prom yesterday to discover the winds were certainly blowing. The Fox popped out to deliver something to a friend who lives along there. I stayed in the car. By the time he was back I was beginning to feel quite queasy as the car rocked from side to side as the wind blew straight of the Bay, a fact I was even more aware of as I looked in the wing mirror to spot the Fox's return.

Still hopefully it will stay dry today. We're off to do the food shop. I've got a lamb curry plopping away now so it will be ready to just warm up wen we get back - nice & easy to do.

After making our delivery we went along to our local pub. The landlord there was busy preparing for "Lancashire Day" which is to be celebrated today. He reckoned he'd put in his order for sunshine for the event. It seems someone may have answered. For the celebrations I gather there is to be street skittles in the road outside, Morris dancers performing, a Lancashire quiz, Lancashire hotpot & other regional specialities. All this begins at 6pm so we won't be going. We'll be too busy digging into our curry.

Tomorrow it's back to the hospital. This time it's the breast screening clinic. It will mean another early morning. The appointments at 9.30am. We've no idea how long the visit will be. There's no indication of what will happen. Is it just a quick question of whether there's been further seepage? Or will there be another ultrasound examination & possible mammogram? We'll find out tomorrow.
