More rain

Tuesday 18th August: It continued to rain all day and the garden is very soggy and muddy. And so are the chickens (see photo of Bobby).
Steve was off to work and the boys and I were schooling. All morning long the phone rang from electrician, window man, kitchen fitter, solicitor. These calls all led to me having to make more calls or search on the internet for answers so schooling was very bitty.
After lunch we walked into town to return some library books and get some shopping, and got wet on the way there and back. The photo shows how grey the main street of Waimate was.
The boys did some computer learning while I cooked a roast dinner and a chocolate pudding, then we sat down to watch the film "The American Tail" which was very sweet.
