Only last night, Ossie, Leigh and my mum were talking about how dry the earth is and mum was saying all of the fruit needs lots of rain.
Well, it arrived today! From early morning it has been a'pouring out of the sky and the ground is going glug glug glug! Or running fast over the street drains which are not able to cope with this onslaught of water.
We don't mind, old yellow figgy at the allotment will be veryvery happy and maybe, just maybe it might stop plum tree from dying. Poor plum tree, it looked really awful when she saw it on Sunday and there was nothing she could do, the ground was so dry that the roots would have not received a drop. The ground needed what we are getting, solid rain for several hours.
Going back to last night.. oooh slurp. We had fish in a white sauce, potatoes which she won't eat BUT I do, brocolli, Mackie's Scottish ice cream and cream and strawberries. Sigh.. why can't we eat like this every night? I am crazydaisy about icecream and cream together and I find a spoon is just the thing to slurp it off.
I was due to go today to Streatham to Sing With Dementia but looked at the weather and said "please send my regrets" and stayed at home in our snug burrow. I thought it looked dodgy when she went into a cupboard and fished out a pair of leather knee-high boots which I haven't seen since February!
Tomorrow she's busy all morning so I'll doze and think about a full pot of Mackie's Ice Cream, there is only the one flavour, we don't care 'cos it is SO scrummydumptious.. slurpydurpy.
Now it is eight of the past midday clock.. hence pm.. gettit? And as her alarm is due to shatter our beauty sleep at 06.00 tomorrow morning, we are retiring early this evening, she's got her clothes ready, galloshes, waxed rain coat, trousers, keys, bus pass, mobile is charged. Rock & Roll, she has to be there before or by 07.30.. rather her than me, that's for sure!
So pippip Dear Readers. We hope your garden is getting a good soaking if you're here in the UK, we all need it badly.
GeeGee Parrot.
