The bedroom window is still up from yesterday afternoon's rainstorm. We even turned off the air conditioning overnight. Lovely. I'm drinking a cup of Lady Grey and just having a quiet minute or two. The washer is already full and ready to turn on, but will wait so as not to wake up the kids yet. The younger boys' bedroom is next to the kitchen (where the washer and dryer are) and I don't want to disturb them.
Planning on renting 'Another Year' today. Saw the previews a few months ago and have really looked forward to it being available, so today's the day. The reviews are mixed with some folks fussing about it being a movie where nothing happens. Happily, that's the sort of movie/book I like. I don't much care for suspense right now, and will go out of my way to avoid it. A quiet, solid movie sounds fine to me.
Another puttery day planned for today. Worked in the front garden yesterday after the rain and got lots of things cleaned out that have grown during the hot spell. Thinned the forsythias a tiny bit and cut out many, many oak tree seedlings. They tend to take over if we're not careful. Might move some plants when I get dressed. Part of the flower beds have been neglected, so we're going to move out those roses and perennials to the other side of the yard and let this part go to grass, we think. I'm not keen on doing much at a time, and the heat will slow us down, but it's a plan nonetheless.
Will go now and finish my tea and read a bit. Enjoy your day. :)
