We thought about doing some local tourist things today, but the promised rain put us off. We got a phone call early on to say it was sunny/bright near Welshpool and were amazed to look out of the window and find someone happily soaring the Mynd, despite the SW wind. It was tempting to have a go ourselves, but we pulled ourselves together and did one of the jobs we have been putting off for ages… shopping.

On the way to Shrewsbury at 11am it started spitting and it carried on raining with greater or lesser intensity all day. We actually had quite a productive day. The remaining prizes for the Bash are bought, we’ve looked at cars, phones and ebook readers, and I even got some clothes and a month’s worth of groceries. Then home to lie down with a cold compress – it always takes me a few hours to recover from a shopping trip.
