Rain Delay

This weather has been like a full stop on outdoor activity.
It is not like it has rained excessively hard, but it has been consistently wet for days.  We have a weather gauge we like to check.  We have had about 6 inches over the last five days.  Just when I think it may be improving, and I have seen the end of it, it rains seriously again.
I had in mind to mow the lawn for visitors last Tuesday.  Well that option has not been available from about then.  The lawn has been too wet.  It looks healthy for sure, but it is in need of a haircut really.
This is supposed to clear out in the next day or two so I should get to it early next week.
That will be just in time for our planned trip away.  We are going to Daydream Island for a few days.  We are utilizing a deal whereby we got it at what we believe was a good price.  We have upgraded our room so we have a balcony and view of the sea.
In the meantime, we have been doing indoor things at home.  The place looks neat. It has not precluded any outdoor stuff like Merril traveling to Warick to see her mum and me having breakfast with a mate.
I have decided these days are spent quietly.  It may only be four days, but I am feeling like it is time off.  In the not too distant future, I will need to prepare for going away but that does not need to be today, and the rain means it will probably not be.  I mean I have some serious watching to do.
It is sort of a pottering day.  There is stuff we would like to get done and stuff we will do but there does not feel like the pressure is on to get it done.  I want to read some today.  I am also listening to a podcast I am liking.  So I reckon I will be gainfully employed doing stuff I want to do.
