Very happy bunny morning ....
19th
January 2019 (Saturday)
.... 08.15 “Good Morning to all my
Hutte
friends, it’s good to be back” ....but the weather isn’t good this
morning; it’s heavily overcast and damp,
after some overnight rain by the look of it;
and there’s a, light north-easterly breeze .... so not warm. We might have few breaks in the clouds later
giving us short sunny spells, but right now it is dreich; not a morning for the beach. Sunrise is in quarter of an hour so take
turn down there after this update... though I very much doubt if it (sunrise) will
be visible.

10.00 The beach was quiet, with only one dog
walker, and ‘the boy’ at first; then a
number of people appeared at the breakwater, and suddenly it was busy. It’s not the bonniest of mornings but
it is a pleasant morning for
walking. That reminds me .... I can go
for morning coffee this morning; and I
have a Memory Stick to deliver. ‘Slight
flap’ on now.
13.30 When we (the Troops) are chatting during
morning coffee, we cover many different subjects; this morning we ended up chatting about worms
in the stomach of mules.. and horses.
I don’t remember how we got on to the subject of ‘stomach worms’, but Geoff,
(who was a Manager in Agricultural Supplies), told us that the veterinary
profession, intrigued as to why Army mules weren’t plagued by ‘worms’ found
that the dye in Army Muleteers khaki greatcoats , which the mules found highly ‘lickable’,
contained phenothiazine, and that it, the phenothiazine, was lethal to stomach worms. It soon became the recognised way to treat
worm infestations in mules and horses.
I bet you are all glad that I am back online!
20.00 Mmmmm .... we’ve had a grey day, but at
least it didn’t rain; and I did some of
the things I have to do before going to Sussex, for a holiday, and Emily’s
(granddaughter) wedding. With the
weather remaining dull I didn’t go to the beach in the afternoon; instead I fuelled up the car (it’s going for
a holiday too), and
finished... mmm... nearly finished my packing: a busy(ish) and satisfying day. With the whole day being overcast and no
visible sunrise or sunset, I have uploaded yesterday’s sunrise.

Tomorrow
I’ll finish off the packing... and take the car up to Brian and Moira’s. I might go to the kirk in the morning.... it
depends on how organised I am.
