It started yesterday with a call from Alex. “Fancy a carvery tomorrow”? When Alex asks that question, it always means one place; The Chairmakers at Worldsend. In our view, it definitely does one of the best carveries in the area. So, no problem with that, an easy yes.
We went to the pub, and as usual had a delightful meal. Everything was perfectly cooked.
After lunch, we went back to theirs so that we could entertain our granddaughter, which is always a delight and a pleasure, especially when she laughs, which she does a lot.
I think it was just after 1700 that we decided it was time to go. Of course, it had started to rain. But this wasn’t a gentle shower. The drops weren’t falling, they were being fired out of the cloud and hitting with a force strong enough to hurt, and with an intensity that put the sun’s production of neutrinos to shame.
There were some really quite large puddles (mini lakes, really) on the way home, and the threat of aquaplaning was a real and present danger.
We arrived home safely, the journey taking slightly longer than usual – I had really been moderating our speed. Unlike some people.
An observation: if you have a cat. shut doors are a no-no, I’ver just opened the office door to ours, she promptly jumped up on the desk and all over the keyboard. Luckily I was able to correct her typing.
