Loose ends

Up at the crack of dawn this morning to work on the eye health stuff I was briefed on yesterday. Did this in a highly-focused fashion until I was able to slip out in the afternoon to buy Lorraine's birthday present. Persistent rain again today. Announcement of the English drought (accompanied by dire hosepipe bans and warnings that it will be worse than 1976) has coincided with days of continual rain.

Lorraine home early, and we cheekily slipped out to buy fish and chips. Feeling too tired to pack tonight for our trip up to Northumberland, and left everything to a morning frenzy tomorrow morning.
