It was lovely to see Mr A again today after a short run and a long walk in the rain with his shopping. I was looking forward to my longer run home in the rain; I absolutely love running in the rain - splish splash splosh through the biggest puddles possible (expect when going past people, mostly!!) it's so much fun and without a care of how wet I get. I always run faster too :)

Mr A doesn't often have a lot to say, he mostly thanks me and then we go our separate ways. Today though we chatted for a bit and I'm hoping we can get someone to help him with a computer tablet issue he's having. Longer conversations are of course what they are, but also an opportunity to look into people's eyes and get more of an idea of how they're doing. It was nice. It felt momentarily normal. I feel he's doing ok.

I've got another mission coming up later today and of course I have spare kit, but I'm hoping to get this lot dry!! x
