R & R-ing!

We overslept! I missed my skype date with my mother.

We've awoken to rain. It's a three-layer clothing day plus waterproofs for those venturing outdoors. Phil has dismissed the idea of sailing. Instead, he is on the Damson Walk Cartmel Fell Tarn. I expect in about half an hour to be able to see him on the track above the valley. My camera is ready!

I'm R & R-ing! I'm not sure what to do! I think I'll curl up with a novel & the day's telecast from Wimbledon. I brought the novel from home. I have yet to open it. When I saw the title 'The Seamstress' I thought of my paternal grandmother, Violet. The grandmother I never met. The grandmother I am getting to kmow. In the Australian 1914 Census her occupation was recorded as dressmaker. I wonder how the stories of the novel's central character & that of Violet's compare?
