More rain

There’s nothing like an announcement of a hosepipe ban to encourage it to rain. Yesterday was wet. It rained through the night as well. Today so far is overcast & showery.

Yesterday I received a letter from the water company telling me that as a Priority Services customer (because I’m a wheelchair user) the ban will not apply to us. Nonetheless we will continue to reduce the amount of water we use as much as possible.

While thinking about water our thoughts are moving towards Norway & our cruise. We’re just hoping it is not going to be too wet, so little can be seen of the fjords as we pass through them.

The Fox’s appetite is continuing to improve. The last couple of days he’s managed a sandwich lunch, a not unreasonable main course in the evening, a bit of ice cream for afters & a cup-a-soup bedtime snack. Although all the meals are small, altogether they constitute quite a bit a food, considerably more than he was taking in. I’m beginning to think, if we are allowed to relax on the ship, he may manage to enjoy his food & come back with his normal appetite. I do hope so.
