It must have rained quite heavily during the night as we awoke to grey skies and puddles on the roads. I didn't hear any thunderstorms, though, which was a shame!
Keith went off for a walk on his own this morning and while he was gone Sophie and I showered and got ready to go out. We needed to pop to Tesco (this is becoming a Bank Holiday Monday habit!) and we also had to go to Jones's to stock up on bird food and some other bits and bobs.
From Tesco (which was busy by the way, and not at all a pleasant experience) we drove to another packed place - Riverside - where Sophie visited Next. She was looking for a swimsuit and found a lovely green one as well as a beach cover-up. We looked for hearts as we haven't yet found one for April and very soon May will be over as well!
At Jones's we bought some new secateurs as I'd mislaid our old ones on one of my gardening stints with Sue. I bought a huge tub of fat snax, some seed and two trays of fat blocks and I just hope the food will last longer than a few days. It doesn't help that we have bigger birds such as magpies, rooky and jackdaws visiting our garden, as well as a huge flock of starlings who seem to devour everything we put down within minutes. The birds are feeding their young at the moment and we've seen a couple of sparrow babies following their parents around and begging for food, but no fat babies this year so far.
The grey and overcast weather has stayed with us all day making it gloomy and chilly. What a difference to yesterday and the beautiful sunshine we enjoyed!
