Rain, Rain, Go Away...

It's been raining most of the week here. It's driving me more than a little crazy. When I walked Tuesday, I got drenched, Wednesday, pretty wet so this morning when I woke up and it was due to rain, I didn't even bother to go for a walk. Good thing I didn't as I would have ended up as drenched as I did on Tuesday! It absolutely pelted it down again! 

As I haven't procrastinated by taking lots of photos on my walks, I've actually got some things done around the house. I'm caught up with the housework again (I think) and have got (sort of) back into the swing of cooking and meal planning. The everyday mundane things of life. Sigh. 

It looks as though there might be a break in the weather tomorrow before a very wet weekend in the forecast, so tomorrow I'm letting myself have a bit of a wander and a nice walk before coming home and tackling the to-do list. I do have some washing to do, but I did a load on Tuesday (after I got muddy and drenched) so there isn't as much as usual. I'm back messaging with my sister tomorrow too so we'll have a good catch up in the afternoon. 

The photo for today - beach huts at Walton-on-the-Naze. They are at the opposite end of beach than the photos I shared yesterday. By the time we got up to this end the tide was up.



I love these. They are so bright and colourful!

    1. We've had so much rain here we're ahead of what we usually get! Everything is mushy and wet.

  2. Oh, I believe, the rain has to fall, but what's too much is too much...summer was dry, instead of grass there was straw...and now it keeps raining and raining. Yesterday it rained here too, but luckily I went out while it was dry, I caught a little break :))
    Today it's forecast again for the afternoon and night...we'll get through this too :))
    Have a nice Friday and as little rain as possible, Andreja!

    1. Thanks! It's been rather wet here where I am. Usually things are dry, but they are still very green!

  3. All that rain sounds relentless, but there's a silver lining in finally getting caught up on housework and meal planning while you wait it out! Those beach huts at Walton-on-the-Naze are gorgeous, that pop of color is exactly the cheerful contrast this grey week needs. Enjoy your wander tomorrow and the catch-up with your sister, sounds like a well-earned break before the weekend washout hits.

  4. Still lovely and warm here with very little sign of rain. Those beach huts are sweet. Do you have them on your beaches

    1. No, nothing like it here. Too much of our lakeshore is private beaches. There are only stretches that you can walk along. It's all rather sad.

  5. Oh what colorful little huts. Get back in a groove after a vacation is hard. It was rainy here too.

    1. They are really lovely to see. Inside they are quite small and generally don't have a lot of space but, in popular places, they sell for a lot of money!
