The weather has changed and there is a steady slow rain 🌦falling after many days of sunshine. I draw back the curtains in the lounge and look out onto the garden. The lawn looks so green 🟩 and flowers ⚘🌸🌺 are colourful and bright in the summer rain. The rain is softly falling onto the trees 🌲🌳and grass.
I make my coffee☕ then I go and eat my cereal in the porch on a chair overlooking the garden and watch the rain.
There is no sign of the 🐈🐈cats yet anywhere. I suspect they could be in the greenhouse or summer house of the neighbours or under their caravan.
I call out to them but no sign of them. They will come back eventually but not yet while it's raining because they don't like the rain 🌦and prefer to be under cover somewhere.😾
It seems strange having no OU studies to be occupied with at the moment, but I still have some books 📚 to read, to keep my newly acquired skills sharpened, so I intend to do that some point during the day.
But for now I sit quietly and feel the presence of God. He is here and he is all around. I tell him my thoughts and prayers.
I look on my emails and messages but nothing of importance. 📬Just a voicemail from the local doctors surgery to remind me to make an appointment will do that today by phone.
I close my eyes and sigh. It's so quiet here outside today so peaceful, it must be because of the rain. 🌧
However, soon the silence is being broken by the sound of dogs 🐕🐩barking in the distance announcing the imminent arrival of the postman. 👨✈️ and this then marks the beginning of my day.
Today is not an OU study day but I am going to read my detective story in french. I am also reading from the series of books 'Toi et Moi' which is quite funny and very easy to read in French!
