On the last two evenings before bed I watched the highlights of the third, then fourth days of the test match between England and Sri Lanka.
The generally gloomy overcast rainy day kept us indoors after a Tesco shopping trip during which the precipitation subsided temporarily to dreary drizzle. Later the slate grey canopy deprived us of a sight of the thunderous overhead aircraft departing from the Bournemouth air show’s final exhibitions.
Having begun reading a new book, I published
This evening we dined on stuffed crust pepperoni pizza and plentiful fresh salad with which I drank more of the Malbec.
Sounds like purposeful action rather than serendipitous events–still a good day with a delicious meal to finish it off.
Thank you very much, Pat
I am with Pat, Derrick. Sounds like it is still a day on the plus side in Tootlepedal’s Great Ledger of Life. Much love to you and Jackie.
Thank you very much from us both, Lavinia XX
A gloomy day, but again, I can tell from your language (and Malbec) that you’re feeling better. 🙂
Thank you so much, Merril 🙂
I’m sorry that you didn’t get to see the aircraft, Derrick, but there is something very nice about staying inside while the weather outside gets gloomy. A warm blanket and something hot to drink, perfect!
Thanks very much, John
You’re welcome!
Our youngest son took his Dad to third day of the Test. I stayed home and did some landscape painting while listening to Test Match Special. Is was a good day!

Thanks very much, Kim
The year has not got any better as it has gone along. I was hoping that the change of government would bring endless sunshine.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
A good day to stay inside and rest.
It was, Laurie. Thank you very much
I was glad to read that it was the weather that was gloomy and not you. Like Laurie said, it was a good day to rest.
Thank you so much, JoAnna
The sun here showed its face for a while, now it is still a little windy because of the typhoon.
Thank you very much, Arlene
I’m glad you had a relaxing day, but sorry about the miserable weather.
It did me good, Sue. Thank you very much
Sounds like THE optimum day to stay indoors and do some things you enjoy…and get some rest. 🙂 Oh, that gloomy weather…we’ve had some, too.
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️
Thanks very much, Carolyn XX
The two test matches so far have been disappointing. Too easy.
Mostly. Thanks, Andrew
It’s been really misty here, but when we have hit the coast it’s picked up a bit.
Thank you very much, Gary
Sounds as if staying inside was a wise move
Thanks very much, Sheree
