Well, last night I checked the bus timetable and decided that I would have a little tootle into town. As we are a seaside town we are now on out of season timetable so the buses are not so often. I woke early ....yay ....but then I peeped round the curtain ....oh dear ....it had chucked it down with rain overnight and the sky was threatening more rain. What should I do ! Well, what I did was go back to bed .... Another two hours ....I didn't mean to stay in bed that long but I dozed off to sleep again. When I woke I could hear ....rain , rain ....oh the joys .... It has been raining heavily ever since. The rain itself doesn't bother mean as I have everything here that I need. I will see what the weather is like tomorrow..... Does weather ever change your plans ?

I'll change my plans if the weather is bad unless it's somethng I absolutely have to go out and do. Otherwise I'm happy staying in and letting the rain have fun outside.

Yes, it does... I don't like driving in the rain and hate driving if there is snow or ice on the ground... Pretty doesn't care and will keeps telling me things she thinks we need to do if I can see to drive, no matter what kind of weather we're having. I keep telling her she can walk places so I don't have to drive but that makes her mad. We've had non-stop rain/storms for several days. She had a doctor appointment yesterday so I had to drive her there. We also stopped at the Walmart where I used to work to pick up our new glasses. While we were there, I went to the electronics department and picked out a new phone. (Moto G Power 2024) I'd checked prices on it before we left the house and saw they were asking $300 for it but there was a sale at Walmart online that listed it at $149. When the department manager told me $320, I told him that was too expensive and we'd find the phone somewhere cheaper... I started walking away when he called me back over and sold it to me for $165. I still need to set it up.

@Traceyjayne Thank you. Since Pretty won't be driving, she doesn't mind trying to make me drive no matter what the weather is doing. As long as I'm inside something, a house or the car, lightning doesn't bother me.

You got a bargain with the phone. Well done you x As I'm not the driver I don't worry about going out in the car in bad weather ....although I won't go anywhere if it's lightning.

It does occasionally. I had an appointment an hour away last month, but that morning it was raining so hard flood warnings were being blasted. The fool doctor office couldn’t understand why that would make me cancel. Oh, brother.

Sometimes people just don't understand these things do they ! My Mom is 87 and won't drive into town so booking any appointment for her is a nightmare as she goes on the bus and only has one bus an hour. They never understand some times just aren't suitable. And we always try to book well on advance.

Weather can certainly put a damper on things, but I always find something else to do if need be. But it has been raining like the dickens here too, lately. Almost non-stop. At least it presents an excuse not to have to go out and mulch my leaves. lol
