Hello again rain

Well it certainly isn’t springtime yet; we woke this morning to heavy rain and high winds! Not surprisingly James went out for a walk anyway, he seems to be experiencing no side effects from his Covid jag yesterday. I however had a headache and felt a bit yucky; maybe James’ vaccine has been coming out of his pores and affecting me. I’m joking of course - but it does seem unfair that James got the jag and I felt out of sorts!

I went out in the afternoon instead, when the weather had calmed down a bit, and walked around an almost deserted Cambuslang Park. I listened to the Frank Skinner podcast that Jennifer has recommended to me; it was very funny and I was laughing out loud from time to time. By the time I got home I felt much better.

There has been more bad news among my parents’ generation of friends. My Mum and Dad’s very good friend John Leslie died a couple of days ago, and late last night our neighbour Mrs Wilson, who is now very frail, was taken to hospital by ambulance. *

I’m very pleased with the haircut that Cat gave me on Sunday, it’s sitting really nicely and is finally all the same length. I successfully dyed it beforehand, the first time I have done this without Cat's help. 

This evening when we were getting ready for bed Ally came through to tell us to watch the Starship SN10 Static Fire Test on YouTube. If this has been successful it could clear the way for a test flight some time next week. We watched the spacecraft as it gouted out huge amounts of steam and then a burst of fire. I’m not sure if this means that it was successful or not but it was interesting to watch. 

* Update later - Good news, Mrs Wilson is home again!
