Here Comes the Rain Again

The cat asleep on the cane chair in my bedroom.
4.46pm and the need to ignite the artificial lights.
Gentle pattering sounds - the rain outside, the computer keyboard inside.
The donning of jumpers and slippers and longing looks at the firewood baskets...
The need for a hot drink.
Fickle memory - the sunny weather was only 2 days ago!
The deck has become a mirror.
Silent, wet sound.

Today so far - out to coffee (high tea actually) with Maria C. in Cornwall Park kiosk.
A visit from Robyn J. (ex-colleague from O.C.).
Out to lunch with Lois (Altar on Mt Eden Rd, named after the 300 year old Spanish altar which forms a centre-piece in the dining area).
A visit from Arthur F. (woodwind teacher from O.C.).
Sophie makes a flying visit - from piano lessons to an overnight with Grandma (due to the other 3 attending The Killers tonight).
