Frosty in Pevensey .....
8th
November 2016 (Tuesday)
.... 09.00 The villages are bathed in
‘peaceful-ness’ this morning: down on
the beach, which I had to myself, it was absolutely divine. With there being only a light breeze it isn’t
as cold as it has been;
there’s an 50/50
mix of clouds and blue bits in the sky, the sea is peaceful .... I’m loving
it! I’m even loving it more now; I’ve just had a phone call from Jenny, and
she had to scrape the car windscreen first thing this morning .... Jenny was phoning from Pevensey on the south
coast of Sussex! The temperature down
there now is 2.5c. The temperature in Ivy garden is only 2c at
the moment.... but we didn’t have frost earlier! Yes .... The,‘Centre of the Universe’ is
the place to be!

22.30 Jimmy and I went to Leven this
morning: Jimmy wanted to buy a new chip
fryer thing, and I bought a beard trimmer.
We got both fryer and trimmer in Argos,
but neither of us has actually used
the aforementioned items. The trimmer
had to be ‘charged’ before using.... so I will have a ‘play’ with the new toy
tomorrow; I may not have much of a beard by the time I’m finished. The ‘rools’ appear simple enough .... !

I
began to watch the bowls on BBC2 in the afternoon, but fell asleep. Not because the bowls were boring... far
from it: I was just plain tired. When I woke up I decided that I needed to ‘do
something’ so I grabbed the camera and went up to Kinneuchar kirk, in Sooper
Buggy, where ‘The Way Ahead’ exhibition is on display. I had a cuppa With the ‘troops’ that were ‘on
duty’, Nancy, Olive Ken and Bob, then went and had a ‘practice’ at photographing
the ‘Acts of Charity’ stained glass
window, in ‘poor’ light. I was
pleasantly surprised with the results.
However I need to buy myself a decent tripod: I’ll go online after this Hutte update and
see what I can find.
Jim
and Jimmy were down for our weekly evening of talking ‘local things’..... an
interesting way to spend an evening. When
you trigger something in the ‘other’ brains it’s amazing how the conversation
rattles along. I fair enjoy myself....
but I must remember to buy Earl Grey tea .... Jim likes Earl Grey! So do I .... when I have it; in fact that’s why I don’t have it!

| Friendly .... thirsty dog. He could see the water dish coming! |
The
weather is forecast to be “cold, wet and generally miserable” tomorrow
morning: I may decide to go into a
short state of hibernation .... until Friendship Lunch time!
