the very wet day

It's a lovely, rainy day. I had a bath with window open listening to rain. # color me delighted

I've also got a bag of mini chocolates next to me. I don't care for the dark chocolate, but Mr x likes it. Earlier had beef jerky. # that stuffs good

Been sneezing. Mr x just asked me if I'm getting a cold. Don't think so. Just your garden variety allergy. Today's the first warm day. Because of the rain.

Anyway, I stayed up late finishing the thriller. I had to know. So, what did I think? It was uneven. Scattered. Chockablock full of red herrings. Red herrings disguised as red herrings. Everyone was suspect. Then the ending was weird. I started going back to reread. But it's not good enough you really care. The author can be good if he works on it. He's got the suspense down pat.

I have this new raincoat. It's a pink poncho. There was a flood alert yesterday. For the next city. We've got house with a crawl basement. Water could flow through if need be. There's lots of creeks in town. Fun to see how much water is there. Once gf and I were walking near the creek and looked in. I said, see the deer? She didn't. It was sitting on the bank. I'm on lowlands. Deer rare here. But up in the hills where I took Mr w, they are frequent. But, they say where deer wander, so does monsieur ugly.
