RAIN.. WHAT RAIN? AND WHAT THUNDERSTORMS?

It was a dark and stormy sky at just past eleven of the clock this morning.. SHE kissed Beaky, told ME "to be a good girl" and went off to the garden.

The forecast was for heavy showers and thunderstorms and whilst SHE was on the two buses it rained for a little while but not very heavily, SHE thought, if WE have a storm, I will work inside Shack and see what norty mouse and rat have been up to.

SHE knew there were at least two bottles of sterilisation fluid and a couple of scrubbing brushes plus a face mask in the cupboard, don't scrub where those two vermin have been without wearing a mask and gloves.. not wise.

When SHE got off the bus.. there did not appear to have been any rain at all, how very strange.

What to do? There is so much to do SHE actually has a choice! Do little terrace SHE decided.. little terrace is outside Shack and it had been messed about a lot when the concrete bases for the two big security posts were put in.

So today was the perfect day to dig up the twenty 
four paving slabs.. twenty four inches by twenty four inches and relay all of them.

A line at a time is the way to do it.. otherwise YOU get yourself in a big messy muddle! 

It was very hot and sticky, SHE started to laugh, for when YOU do something like this normally, you are not miles away from civilisation nor do YOU have to travel by bus, two buses in fact! SHE was very grubby.

The job was done but it had been a long day and the sky had been, until about five of the clock, very overcast and it was extremely muggy. At six of the clock, suddenly the sky cleared and it turned into a glorious evening.  

However, it was time to go and SHE was extremely pleased to sit down on the little bus, changed to the big bus and got off outside a small supermarket near to home. HER beloved Italian Deli closes at half seven of the clock, SHE had missed them by an hour but this store sometimes has fresh pasta.

Yum.. there it was.. fresh Tagliatelle! 

A packet went into basket and SHE came home. SHE had pulled a fresh onion, so the sauce was onion, halved red cherry tomatoes and two slices of chopped green zucchini, these sweated for about ten minutes.A big pan of water on to boil, pasta boiled for four minutes. 

Done, oh, slurp the durp, simple and delicious.

Tomorrow.. SHE really is going to do housework as friends are coming to stay and although their room is immaculate.. old Dyson and duster need to do a bit of work in the rest of the flat.

Bed time for both of US.. lonng day.. Good night Dear Readers, good night.

GeeGee Parrot.
