A Touch of Sunlight

It has been raining off and on all day.  The school cross country race was postponed until later in the year.  I had my teeth cleaned, so they are looking bright and sparkling.  I collected little 'h' after school, and took her to meet her Mum, stopping for a Friday 'treat on the way.  Home now, and back to more rain.  Another Friday, so another weekend.  I hope yours is a good one.
