It is Thursday and still raining.
Well here today in Hawick the low winter sun actually shone for a few hours, there were patches of blue sky and it did not rain. I think this has perhaps been the first dry day here since I came home from America on 14th October. I made the most of it and got out and about and I took Ann out into town in her wheelchair in the afternoon, three miles of pushing an adult in a wheelchair up and down our hilly streets is great exercise and a wonderful antidote for the winter blues and I think Ann thoroughly enjoyed getting out of the nursing home for three and a half hours.
The road down from the nursing home still has lots of water running down it towards the valley, the water is seeping from farmers' fields higher up the hill
