    Is it impossibly expensive to get a taxi all the way, just to take the pressure off you ? I'm not sure how far it is.

    Yeah, I am out tonight and considering avoiding the walk to the station by cabbing it all the way. The weather sucks and I really wanted to wear sandals! Going to have to think about a coat too. Grrr. 

    Hope you have a good day whatever you decide XX

    25 miles each way. Taxi would be £80 in total.

    £80 is a lot…but since you’ve not had a holiday for a couple of years and it’s something you’d been  looking forward to would it be worth it? But if there’s a chance of flooding- maybe not……decisions, decisions……

    Definitely not worth spending £80 on taxis. I’m not that desperate to go. Apparently Mr SA arranged it with DS last night we wouldn’t go there and they’ll come here next week to bring my birthday present. They usually come to us once a fortnight and we just go to them about once a year. Anyway the weather has been dry and sunny here so we could’ve gone. Oh well! Annoying you can’t trust the weather forecast even when it’s bad.

    Best to be cautious I think. The weather here is rain, rain and more rain. 

    Enjoy Saturday SA.

    Rain, rain and more rain here too with thunder forecast for later. Can’t believe I was wishing the very hot weather away a couple of weeks ago.

    It’s only just started spitting with rain here, very annoying. It’s been quite a nice day, sunny but windy, got 2 loads of washing dry.

    Have done loads of dog walking today, just over 21k steps. 

    It was stormy last night and the wind damaged a panel of our driveway fence. Mr SA was trying to fix it when the next door neighbour came to take over. He’s done a good job. The downside is one of his kids has got Covid and he’s self-isolating. He had a mask on but Mr SA was stood right next to him without one. 

    Having veggie burger, wedges and salad for tonight’s dinner. Got a bottle of fizz chilling in the fridge 🍾
