Wet Friday

Rain all morning, so I started work on next week's Morning Prayer and Reflection, then cooked lunch. Weather warnings about high winds have been issued but our side of Cardiff hasn't been affected. Once the rain stopped I went out and did the week's grocery shopping at the Coop.

While Clare went to shop at Beanfreaks I recorded and edited the texts prepared earlier while the house was completely quiet. Job done, I walked around Llandaff Fields and down to Blackweir Bridge. For the first time in many months the river Taff flowed across the complete width of the weir, just. A lot of rain must have has fallen at night this last couple of days. Two cormorants were fishing for eels in troubled water just below the weir.

After supper, I worked on Sunday's sermon for an hour, then watched the first episode in a new French crimmie series on More Four entitled 'Disturbing Disappearances' about a specialist missing persons team. It was set in Strasbourg, and as it was the second film I've watched in French lately, my ear was attuned to the dialogue and I enjoyed following with not much need for the subtitles. I wish there were more things in Spanish that I could watch, as I would benefit from improving my Spanish aural comprehension to the same level as French.
