Spring at last ....

... 08.00 The beach was very quiet
this morning .... only myself and one other person, who might have been my
neighbour Chris, taking “Skye” for her morning walk, but they were too far away
to recognise. The tide was
‘in’... it had just started to ebb
actually, so I didn’t have much beach to
‘play’ with; however I had a leisurely
walk along to The Breakwater and back, long enough to work up an appetite.
It
looks like being a bonnie day, as far as the weather goes by the look of it at
sunrise time.... though the sunrise wasn’t visible, being hidden behind low
clouds. I have a washing on the line,
so I’m looking for some nice sunshine, with a light Westerly breeze, to dry it.

22.30 We’ve had a beautiful Spring day at the “Centre
of the Universe” today .... a perfect drying day! It’s amazing how I have changed: before Maggie died I didn’t realise just
how important a good drying day was.... now I look at the weather forecast, to
find out which day of the week looks like being the best for doing a washing! Jings how sad is that! Strangely enough, I quite enjoy being the new
‘me’... now that I have adapted to a ‘life without Maggie’ doing all the real
work! Never thought I’d manage to do
that.... and I most certainly wouldn’t have ‘got where I am now’, without my family and friends, who have pointed, and
prodded, me in the right direction, as required.... without all of ‘you’ I’d, most
likely, still be doing the washing on rainy days. I seem to have drifted a bit .... all
because I now plan my washing days..... anyway we have had a gorgeous day!
Emily
and John are arriving tomorrow, and will stay for a couple of nights .... I’d
better drag the
Hoover around, and make the old place look tidy. It will be good to catch up with all the ‘News’
from Somerset and Sussex, and all points between there and here!

I
guess I’d better bumble orf to bed .... I feel tired after a reasonably active
day. The weather looks ‘more of the
same’ for tomorrow, and indeed for the next few days: Spring is here at last!
