I suspect the absence of feet is purely a stylistic decision.<br /><br />Edna: That "mist" is actually rain!<br /><br />Ellen: I miss going to museums, or getting on the train and going to another town. (Since we don't have a car, we're essentially stuck in NW London.)<br /><br />Red: Well, I know the forecaster isn't responsible for the weather -- just for being accurate with the forecast!<br /><br />Robin: A world without Donald Trump as president would be phenomenal!<br /><br />Sharon: Just one of the many normal social interactions that have been put on hold, right?<br /><br />Catalyst: When does your monsoon season end?<br /><br />Bug: They ARE pretty, aren't they? And they're quite common. We see them in the garden, too.<br /><br />Mitchell: I'm not crazy about getting soaked, but yes, I'll take damp and rainy over damp and sweaty any day!<br /><br />Jenny-O: Yeah, it's a good lamp. We got it from the parents of one of Dave's former students, when they moved back to the states.<br /><br />Michael: Good timing, indeed! Does Murphy get upset at thunder? Some dogs freak out, but Olga doesn't pay it much attention.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-83670054891480824262020-07-27T22:45:54.439+01:002020-07-27T22:45:54.439+01:00Murphy, my dog, and I went for a walk the other da...Murphy, my dog, and I went for a walk the other day and the sky was blue. As we walked, the sky began to get cloudy. Thankfully the sky filled with clouds as it was really hot, 90+ degree. We got home and the sky opened up and there was a 30 minute downpour. We were lucky that we got home just in time.

My friend Glenda moved into a new house back in April and I have yet to visit her since she moved in. I did visit the place while it was being remodeled before she moved in. She moved a whole lot closer to me and we were looking forward to doing lots of things together. We hadn't counted on a pandemic.
