SwimGym after a restless night – rain became continuous mid evening and has been going ever since. Ponding is rife but the cottage drive is reasonable dry thanks to the extra gravel applied recently.

Bought some printer ink and, much less costly, two WiFi routers for the pumpshed-garage WiFi link.

Also bought tickets for the new Roger Hall play on 28th July in Hastings at the Hawkes Bay Opera House. I’m going (dutch) with Jenny and Noel Hendery and we’ll have a meal here, brought by Jenny, first. And I’ve agreed that J&N can stay at Days Bay for a couple of days at the beginning of September.

A little light shopping in the rain. Walked Bramble in the mud and rain; grooming her afterwards was not fun.

Put a small bolt on the bathroom door so I can stop Bramble from licking my legs when I get out of the shower and generally being a pest when I’m in there.

Finished labelling the ethernet and telephone sockets.

Changed the combination lock code on the cottage back door.

Cleaning the cottage wasn’t really worth doing as Bramble and I have traipsed a far bit of mud inside – will wait till the rain stops and it dries out a bit. Didn’t even take out the rubbish last night because of the rain.
