At least the rain kept off at least!

A few Land Rovers were failing to stop.

My friend turned up after I finished to collect the local Advertiser,as Warwichshire is in tier 3 and not allowed to travel into Redditch.

He likes the same music I like.

I showed him the new music I have got to listen in Sexy Beast.

Then the rain came down.

Said goodbye to my friend.

Back home in the dark and rain.
