9th August. Rain rain go away.
Rain, rain go away!
Well actually it wasn't raining first thing and we went to the boot sale at Faygate.
Ekatarina is learning - don't buy the first things you see that you might want because the same things could be cheaper on another stall. So, we turned down 50p paperbacks and later bought loads more for her at 25p or less.
The plan was to go to the boot sale later at Edenbridge, and I really didn't quite believe people I heard saying that there would be rain by midday.
But they were right.
Since then it has been one of those oh so miserable days with lots of rain and dark atmosphere.
We had already arranged to go and see Jenny, Ruth, Dede and Felix for a while. And that we could do - but the trip to the playground had to be cancelled.
I think Ekatarina learned why Harry the cat has been so very wary of her. She had the same feelings about Felix - a child is so unpredictable!
In fact Harry must have been so fed up with the weather that he has actually been in the same room as Ecky this evening - on the same sofa even!
The pictures below are all snapshots taken whilst introducing Ekatarina to her second cousin - Felix.

Here Felix was wanting to be gentle and enjoyed stroking Ekatarina's skirt.
Now she is not sure what he might be up to.
Felix might have been fascinated by Ekatarina's glasses. He was soon strutting in a pair of Dede's sunglasses.
Cuddle time!
Cuddle time!
Dede is actually showing Felix pages in a book about a new baby - it won't be long before Felix experiences a new brother in the family; less than a month to go now.
And that was Saturday - along with reading and TV viewing and watching a video of Harry Potter 2.
It might not be raining in the morning, but boot sales in the fields will be off that's for sure. We plan to go to Dorking and Horley - maybe.
