Rain rain go away

It’s fair to say that we are having a spell of rainy weather. This certainly does not enhance lockdown. James has the laudable attitude that he wants to go for a walk so he is willing to do so in all weathers. I don’t mind a small amount of rain but if it’s pelting down I will not go out. I do miss being able to go for a swim or even to the gym. This afternoon it wasn’t raining too hard so I went out for a drizzly but pleasant walk with Suzy and Archie, who was using his scooter. 

We have been doing some batch cooking, yesterday we made a large amount of chilli con carne, except that it wasn’t actually “con carne,” it was “con quorn.” We didn’t tell Ally, hoping that he wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, but he sussed it out after his first mouthful and was extremely disappointed. He did go back for seconds though, so it can’t have been too bad!
