The coffee is calling me and I must go. Woke up around 6:30 to wonderful rainfall - steady but not a downpour. Great for the earth. Cleared off a bit - still quite cloudy but the sun is peeking through at times. Unless it happened while I was asleep, the thunderstorms that were forecast for last night did not materialize.
Spend some quality time hanging out and reading - there is a bakery/coffee house I like that has reopened.
Recently finished the Alexander Kent's Bolitho series - historical fiction set in the time of the British Royal Navy and excellent excellent stuff. On par with Patrick O'Brian and Dewey Lambdin. Turns out that Alexander Kent is the pseudonym of Douglas Reeman who has a series about the Submarine Service during WW-II. This is one of my interests so picked up a couple of these books at a local shop a few days ago. Tuck into the first one and see if I like it.
Working in the loft this afternoon - making the bean and bacon soup for dinner tonight.
