Are you sure it was only 3.30hours? You are officially a NUTTER! Who in their right mind would go along the canal in the dark with no lights in a force 7 with driving rain? Was so relieved to see you when you arrived.
All of the above are OK by me. Big problem was that I'd only eaten a spinach salad and drank 1 cup of tea & 1 mug of coffee all day (not by intent, but trying to get sorted to catch the train) Seriously dehydrated and with no water bottle was feeling the effects badly. Light-headedness and the woozy factor were not good! So glad to get to your house.
Thirsty?
What, with a canal by the side of you!
It's ok, she made up for it at the Italian! So much so that there wasn't any room for pudding or too much wine or cider.
I was so close to both drinking from the canal and falling in!
