Rainy Monday

It rained all day yesterday (Monday). Kim is still rebounding, so Kris stayed right here helping with Brigham. Matt took the long jaunt to Heathrow again to fetch Connor who returned from a couple of weeks in Arizona. It was a bank holiday which created lots of traffic on the M25, and, of course, the rain slowed things down, so it was a crawl and took a good chunk of the day. While Matt was gone I went out for a walk in the rain. It was lovely with stops at the Church, the river, and Waitrose (I needed batteries and Kris wanted some Cheddars). When he returned, Matt drove Connor and me to Seven Oaks to Sainsbury's to shop for the week, because Matt will be in Bogota, Columbia until Thursday. They have Stag Chili from Costco in their larder, so I made chili and chips for supper.

Brigham is a good and handsome boy

It was a lovely day in spite of the rain. If the rain lets up today, I will likely go out again. Kim is improving every day and Brigham is doing great.

That's all for now.
