We parted company with Ann after a late breakfast and headed up the A14 retracing our route towards Coventry, then going west past Warwick and Stratford to reach the M50 on the last leg back into Wales. There were wet weather warnings, but these had no impact on us until we reached Evesham, when a strong downpour made it difficult to seethe road fora while, but it soon passed, and we made it to Cardiff with two stops in six hours and ten minutes.
The French bean plants have produced another crop for Sunday lunch, while we were away and some of Clare's roses produced a spectacular splash of colour to welcome us home. After unpacking and tidying everything away, I had a sermon for tomorrow to complete. When it came to printing it out, Windows 10 went into to slow un-cooperative mode as it proceeded with its latest round of updates, hindering me from finishing the job, trying my patience to the limit.
After supper and an hour of telly, a walk in the dark around Llandaff Fields to get some fresh air and relax before bed, but too weary to complete more than 80% of my daily quota. That doesn't happen very often. When I came to switch off the computer before bed it was still updating, and I had to leave it running to finish the task, resolving to get up later and switch everything off properly. These problems never arise with Chromebooks or Linux, which update quickly without fuss. At least I can carry on writing whenever Windows is being un-cooperative again.
