Rain overnight, cloudy all day with occasional showers, but still mind. After a pancake breakfast, Clare went into town to shop for halogen light bulbs. I prepared and recorded a Morning Prayer for the week after next. Then I cooked habas con chorizo with rice for lunch, the vegan version as well as the proper one. I had a snooze after eating, and went out for a walk when the rain stopped. There were dozens of swifts foraging in the sky over both sides of the Taff despite the drizzle. It must be a time of month when midges are plentiful.
Owain had arrived when I got back. He's come over to deejay at a venue in City Road where he used to hang out with music mates when he lived over here, and didn't stay long. We'll see him for breakfast in the morning before he returns to complete the final stage of moving into his new home - transporting the bed mattress, packing and shifting his collection of thousands of vinyl record albums. A major operation that may take half a dozen trips to complete, given DIY removal.
It's lovely to see him looking so happy and relaxed, even though he's pretty tired as a result of his labours last week and the week before. He's finding that his neighbours on the long corridor of apartments are all nice friendly people. One of them is a fellow deejay whom he's known for some years. The caretaker is French speaking North African which gives him pleasure. It think it's quite a diverse neighbourhood he's living in, which suits him well.
After supper, I spent time looking through old photos I'd digitized, printed tomortow' sermon, and then watched a couple of episodes of 'Sisterhood' before turning in for the night. It rained for much of the evening.
