Rain all day amid the flowering everything. Whether it was Tuesday's weather shenanigans or just age, I had an awful night Tuesday with odd aches and panicky dreams and the by now chronic charley horse on waking. My physio suggested I try magnesium just as my s-i-l said she'd taken magnesium for her aches to excellent effect. So I took some last night. Result, no cramps and an oddly unachy day in spite of the precipitation.

Recycle pickup came at its usual by now mid-morning and as it was raining, I got dressed earlier than I wanted and went out to rescue my bin, which already had an inch of water in it. The green bin was closed but also, when I went to check it, still locked. The garbage guys hadn't taken it-- but equally, all the other green bins on the street were closed and locked. At least they weren't forgetting me personally this time, but I didn't know if they'd be back. Decided to leave it for the moment and the trucks came back around 5. No idea if this is the new order of things. We will see next week.

My tax refund appears to swell my utility bank account, so I am flush for now.
