We have wanted and longed for rain and it arrived Monday afternoon when we were out, leaving a line of pegged out towels and clothes! And as we drove nearer to home the rain got heavier. Dh's words 'I'm sick as a jugglers bunny!' We wanted the rain but not now! But not too bad, a quick tumble in the drier and all ok.
Yesterday it was overcast when we got up, it looked like rain. Yes we needed it, but I had a hair appointment in town and so rain was something I did not want! As it was, getting showered and dressed to leave the house at 9:15 is not easy for me. We park in the short stay car park and at that time of day it is practically empty. Dh had parked in one of the two disable spaces, when a workman came up to up to me to say, we couldn't park there, because their lorry was the other side of the little roadway . They were doing a job on the back of one of the shops, and any cars or vans would not be able to get through.. So Dh pulled right forward, but still in a disable space, or we could get a ticket if not in the lines.. and we rushed off, Blue Badge displayed and left him staring into space!
When we got to the hairdressers, I was confronted by the girl to say my app. was Monday at 11:00am!! What?? No way I said. I would not have made a Monday morning app. because that's when we have our Welsh lessons.. The hairdresser apologized and said her mistake and I had it done, altho' she wanted me to have a cut and I want to grow it a bit longer. Why do hairdressers like the sound of their scissors clip, chopping off your hair?
It was raining when I came out and altho' I have my bright red new umbrella, I don't manage it well with pushing my wheels. So I struggled all the way down the main street to Costa, once inside I heaved a sigh of relief. But it was cold in there, their A/C was blowing a gale, so not pleasant, but the coffee was hot and lovely as usual.
I needed my beauty cream from Boots, not far and I managed to anchor my brolly under my chin to keep my £27 hair do dry! Ahhh! Boots is being refurbished, the shelves were practically empty, they didn't have the larger size I wanted. The girl serving was a new recruit, she knew nothing, spoke in whispers and it was a very unsatisfactory conversion with her. I wanted to scream, if I wasn't running out of my cream I'd have said, 'Stuff it I'll buy it on line!' I was not happy!
Back out into the rain, now quite heavy so I shuffled along with my brolly handle under my chin and we drove home, via the sea front.. Rain and grey skies and a grey sea, but home was wonderful. warm and best of all, a hot cuppa and my own toilet! Such a relief, only women who go to wee a lot know that feeling of your own toilet! I dozed in my chair for 30 mins before I tackled the bathroom, while Dh changed our bedding.. A fresh bed to sink into with a clean nightie, perfect after a struggle of a day!

Well done you for struggling through. (I do wonder how one anchors a brolly under the chin... I must have a go)
Some days are all about challenges. You deserved a restful night!
Being wet in cold is never fun.
I wondered about the brolly under the chin, too - not very comfortable, I would think.
It's too bad that the longed for rain arrived at an inconvenient time.
It does sound like a frustrating day, one where you just had to persevere. You amaze me, Chris. At your age, still getting around and getting things done. You are quite an inspiration., although you might not realize it.
Prefer my own loo any time any day. Try to time my trip to the grocery to get there and back in 1 1/2 hour so I make it home, lol. Wet and wet you had it. We expect Easter storms. But when do we have Easter without?
