It's raining again

Did I say it is nice and sunny the last time? Well, now I can't complain about too dry weather: It is raining again. It started maybe a week ago and it already feels like it rained forever. The local farmers are very happy about it and I was too...for a day or two. But this is something I can't change. So lets review the last week commuting between England and Germany.

The last weekend in Thetford was a busy one. Dave's parents will come and visit next Thursday and we arranged one bedroom for them. You would think this is easy, but most rooms in our house in Thetford are just not big enough for two beds. But somehow it worked out. And I even convinces Dave to get rid of some old clothes. He thought the t-shirts he wore at college were still good, but honestly, this is some time ago and I completely disagreed with him. I wouldn't care if it was not for needed space.
We finished working some time during the afternoon and took Amber for a walk. The day started out being cloudy and grey, but the afternoon was sunny. We went to the old ruins of Thetford Priory. It is a nice place to play with the dog and in addition a new geocache was just recently placed there and we had to find it.

We also explored a Pizza Express restaurant in Bury St. Edmund. It sounds like a chain restaurant, but I doubt it. Actually it was a nice Italian one. The only problem was we had to change our order at least three times. Whenever we placed it the waiter came back to our table and informed us about a change in the menu taking place next week and that therefore they ran out of this and that. We enjoyed it anyhow.

Sunday was short as ever and I flew back home to Germany. This is also when it started raining. Some heavy winds caused a lid on my chimney hanging down and banging against something the whole night. It was annoying. But I found a roofer taking care of it.... for "only" 165 Euros!!!! But there was absolutely no chance for me climbing on the roof and fix it by myself.

Did I complain about the weather? Well, there is one really good thing about it: I have an excuse for not cutting my hedge or doing any other work in the yard. The disadvantage is: it doesn't look very nice right now. But I guess I can live with that. And the forecast for next week is... more rain. It will be very relaxing.

Not very much to say or write. Make sure you check my flickr page for some new photos. And I would like to read comments on them ;o) And if you also have some pictures to share: Flickr is a great place for doing it! I would be more than glad to add you as my new contact there.

Have a great week and a very good mother's day to all the mothers of you.
