We had torrential rain last night, it woke me up.
I was pleased to be woken. I've had some bizarre dreams over the last few nights - really weird. I'm wondering if that my subconcious is listening to a story on the radio or something. Normally, dreans are you brain sorting out its filing system. Often, I can work out what has triggered a particular story in my dream, but the last few nights..... I have no idea.
I'm also getting very hot during the night, I guess it's the menopause. One night I woke up and was convinced I had a Covid fever, but I was back to normal temperature the following morning.
Anyway. I drfited back to sleep, only to be woken again by a fox. It sounded like it was away from our garden, and I wasn't 100% sure it was a fox. It wasn't the usual sound they make when calling or mating. I did a cat headcount, just to make sure it wasn't one of our cats.
I got up and loooked out into the garden, I couldn't see anything. I shone the torch, all looked OK. I could see another torch in the distance, and heard a dog barking, so I guess I wasn't the only one that was wondering whether there was an animal in pain somewhere.
I went back to bed. I was woken again by one of the girls trying to crow. I could hear a cockerel crowing in the distance, and I guess that she was responding. I don't know which girl it was.
Later, I woke up for the final time, when Violet started demanding to be let out. She starts and does not stop, so I got up at 6.45 to let them all out into the garden. I didn't go back to bed. I made tea, fed the cats, did stuff.
It was a busy delivery day today. A friend, whose parents are downsizing, popped over to collect loads of packaging. I took some stuff round to one of the village food bank drop off points . I made dough for pizza, fried some mushrooms for my topping.
It's been drizzling most of the day. I've packed the blinds away, I'm guessing we won't need them for a while.
It's already a bit dusky.
