And The Rain Came Down

Today, apparently, it will rain a whole month's worth of rain.

Last night I dreamed I was on holiday with my entire family. I rarely dream about us all together. At one point my brother and I were walking along a beach and the tide was lapping at our heels. But we found our way to the safety of an ice-cream hut. It was strange and sad. I woke early.

After polishing off a job application I curled up on the sofa with my book and the cat. Sometimes Tallulah lets down her guard (just like me) and it is precious. She lay with her so small head on my ribs and at times I had to stop reading to simply watch her breathe.

I read right to the end of my book. I'm still in my pyjamas. The green-leaved rain hasn't let up all day.
