It rained overnight. I took Scully out for her bedtime toilet a bit after 10:30 and I wasn’t expecting it to be raining, but it was. So I hadn’t brought an umbrella and we got a bit wet before she’d finished her business and we came back inside. It got heavier and rained throughout the night.
It had cleared by morning, but there was another spell of heavy showers around midday. Then when I went out with my wife to walk Scully in the early evening, we noticed that the garden sprinklers were on. We hardly ever see them on – in fact I don’t recall seeing them on any time in the past month or so, when we’ve been having nice fine weather. But as soon as we get some heavy rain, they seem to come on. It’s not the first time I’ve notice this either. No garden sprinklers for a few weeks of fine weather, then as soon as it rains they come on.
Today wasn’t too exciting. A bunch of ethics classes in the morning, then I took Scully for a walk after lunch. I bought a bag of “peanut butter and jam” cookies. They’re nice, but I’m not sure about the “jam” part – it appears to just be dried cranberries or something similar. It does give me an idea to try baking something a bit like this, though.
Oh! I also made this week’s worth of Irregular Webcomic! strips. And pizza for dinner.
