desperanceWater! It comes from the sky! It throws everything into confusion!
The weatherfolk themselves seem most confused - the TV last night said this would go on for days and Saturday would be wettest; the internet says that this now is as wet as it's going to get; where's the BBC when you need it? - but even I was a little confused this morning. Was I going to stay home, potter about the house, finish my story? Or was I going to come out, walk the streets of suburbia, get wet, go shopping, carry my laptop with all that that implies?
The latter, apparently, though I really haven't got much wet yet. Grouchy souls will be saying it's too little and too late, and in terms of statewide drought I'm sure they're right, but right now it's that kind of constant soft drizzle that the garden's going to love. That'll do me.
Also this morning I ordered a Thermapen, because I'm tired of not having one, though I have no idea how much actual use I'll find for it after a lifetime of judging cookedness by look and feel and smell and time elapsed, rather than the precision of internal temperature.
Anyway, I'm currently in the Bean Scene, and maybe if I stop talking to the internets I can get on with my story.
