We had a good day yesterday despite the weather. Didn't do much in the way of walking it was just too wet.
It will be a spendy day today again. We need to go to the shops on the way home.
Breakfast and dinner will be from stores though. Smoked bacon and scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast and roast pork with all the trimmings later on for dinner.
We are in no rush to set off for home today. We will probably have a lazy morning here. The weather sounds rubbish out again.
A few pictures from yesterday.

Looks a great place but shame about the weather. It was like the med here yesterday but torrential rain overnight. Dry now though.

We could have done with the boat for getting home today. The rain was torrential and there was lots of standing water on the roads.
Just out doing the shopping now. I will prepare dinner when we get back home, have a quick wipe out in the van and then have a sit down I think.1 -
We were in Norwich overnight and it was bucketing down through the early hours I think. By the time we left though it was beginning to be sunny - typical, sun in wet roads makes for delightful driving conditions obviously! 🙄

The standing water gave away it had rained heavy though. The road into our estate was flooded.1 -

It will be a no spends day today. First one in a while.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was cereals, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is bangers and mash.
I have stuck a load of washing in the machine this morning that should be dry by the time we get home and ready to put away.
Our home shopping delivery was very late last night and had a few suspect substitution items. By the time we had it all sorted out and put away it was time for bed!!1
