I wake up to heavy rain falling. It is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. I do something I have not done for a long time: I lie in bed and read.
I am a bit of an odd person in that, in order to relax, I have to tidy up. My family is quite used to this and merely roll their eyeballs at me as I walk around with piles of stuff saying, 'Who's is this? Who does this belong to? Please go and put this away.'
Sian and Ellie spend the whole day making Christmas decorations and playing Cluedo. I love Cluedo but don't like the way it has been updated and that Mrs White has been replaced by Dr Orchid. Apparently, and I don't know how true this is, it was felt that an elderly cook was not inspiring enough for female players, so she was replaced with a young, dynamic doctor. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't remember the characters in Cluedo having that much influence on my career path.
In the afternoon, I have a chat with the woman staying in the cottage. She has spent her day reading This September Sun on the veranda. What better way to spend one's day?
