Waking up to rain again, with a few sunny intervals, or was it sun with rainy intervals? It least it wasn't cold. One way or another it's variable unpredictable weather. After breakfast I recorded Morning Prayer for two weeks time, made a video slide show and uploaded it to You Tube. Clare received a delivery of fish from Ashton's and cooked salmon soup for lunch using the bones. Always a delicious treat.
In the mail a notification from the Post Office requiring payment of £1.50 to deliver a letter alleged to be without any postage. What is it this time? Is it overweight, oversized, or a reject from the system with a counterfeit or outdated postage stamp? You'll never know without paying to have it delivered. A reasonable requirement, but it feels unfair.
We went to the Co-op together to buy our weekly groceries, but came away lacking a couple of things, so Clare had to go to a greengrocers as well, so we arrived home separately. Then I went for a walk in the park. Ann's train was due to arrive just after four, but was cancelled because of a fatality somewhere on the line. After a long delay, she ended up on a train to Bristol with a connecting train to Cardiff and more delay. It was seven thirty by the time we met at Cardiff Central Station. Despite the three and a half hour delay, Ann was consoled by the fact that GWR will refund her fare because of this
It took ages to extract ourselves from the station car park, which was busy with people leaving after meeting the London train. After supper, we spent the evening catching up on recent family concerns and talking until late.
