Another day in.

Another day and yet again we are caught in a blast of rain and wind.
The forecast is yellow which is not as bad as amber but it's bad enough.
I have events I was planning to attend this weekend but as of now, lying in bed I see the movement outside...my hedge is shaking!
So it looks like a day of playing daft games on the internet.
Having access to the internet makes a huge difference on days like this.
Emails fly around the country and I see various quarrels on Twitter without joining in mostly.
I play backgammon with real people.
Various card games are on my iPad. Playing for dollars gives the impression of gambling though no actual money ever changes hands.
Sometimes I chat as I play...various sites cover the world and often my opponent asks where I am and then volunteers their own position. I often play people from America , Australia, Canada and lots of European countries.
It's very interesting. But it got real a little while ago when a man I play cards with regularly told me he lived about ten miles away from here.
Ouch! Alarm bells rang but although we talk fairly frequently the news that I am a vicar has been sufficient to keep the conversation clean.
On days like today when going out looks unlikely it is a great relief to know that all of my friends can be reached easily and I won't get bored when I can't get out!
This is wonderful at my age....keeping my brain active is just as important as walking every day. Keeping everything moving is I think the key!
Thank you God.
