Four seasons in one day

We woke up this morning shivering. The weather has alternated for most of the day between very heavy showers and bright sunshine, really quite warm at times. With 55 mph gusting wind for good measure.

My daughter came home from school a couple of hours ago, soaked to the skin during her short walk. I hung her school skirt and blazer out on the line and they are already bone dry.

Which is more than can be said for her hair. She resembles an Old English Sheepdog right now 🤣

Does she know that you report on her behaviour and appearance on SW?

@ninalanyon It was just a passing observation that appealed to my humour. But yes I do see your point.

@ninalanyon She does now . . and having shown her a photo of a damp OESD, is in broad agreement with me 🦴

@SunshineGirl From what you've written so far I don't think you should need to worry too much. After all she seems quite level headed.

But I could easily imagine a few harsh words being bandied about if she discovers these posts. And that would be a shame because I think quite a few of us enjoy reading about her growing up, sometimes because your descriptions are a reminder that the world isn't all bad and that it is still possible to grow up sane and happy.

@SunshineGirl OESD? OED?

Oops I was a bit slow there old English sheepdog of course.

@ninalanyon I appreciate your concern and as I'm still learning the ropes I don't claim to be perfect.

I'm fastidious about social media and this is as big a footprint as I will ever leave (I don't do any of the mainstream stuff and use this mostly to whole away the hours between bouts of insomnia and taxi duties).

I try to paint as affectionate and positive a portrait as I can, to share some of my admiration and happiness. We use the same tone and humour in our real lives and there is nothing I write about her here that I would not show her or explain to her.
