December 2016 (Thursday)
.... The early morning fog, that has
disrupted flights into the London Airports, is beginning to clear away,

and it
looks like we are going to have some of the “Sunny Sussex” after all. Michael and Janice are away to Eastbourne,
leaving “Bonnie” (Westie), ‘in charge.
She is not taking her responsibilities to seriously as she is sound
asleep, leaving me with all the ‘pressure’.
I’ll have a cuppa and a mince
pie!
21.30 “Sunny Sussex” appeared out of the fog about 10.00....
and “Bonnie” and I had a cuppa sitting
out in the garden, before I set out to bake some ‘Melting Moments’. The mix went into the oven as Melting
Moments’ and came out as ‘Paris Buns’.
I have yet to actually make ‘Melting Moments’ down here; I’ve tried often enough, and turned out
various highly edible

‘biscuits’ but never Bero Melting Moments. I’ll have another ‘go’ after Christmas.
Leaving
the ‘guard dog’ on patrol, I went out for a daunder, in the warm, late
afternoon.... sunset time in fact. Uckfield
disnae have a beach, but I have found a place to take sunset photos from.... my
bedroom window. Anyway I had a nice
walk, but .... it wisnae ‘my’ beach;
that said there isnae anywhere like ‘my’ beach... except perhaps
Pettycur harbour and it’s beach.
Tomorrow
I’ll go ‘down town earlier in the morning and have a coffee in “The Civic
Centre”. The sky was red at sunset so
I’m assuming we’re going to have another nice day again tomorrow.... if it’s
really nice I may go for a wander, though I have thinks to do before
Sunday. I’ve been watching the
‘soaps’

when having a cuppa, and, the impression that I’m getting is that the
Christian Christmas is being ‘phased
out’, and the ‘commercial Christmas’ is being ‘phased in’. “Happy Holidays”, instead of “Merry
Christmas”, isnae far away right enough. That is not good.
WE
don’t appear to have the fog tonight, but it might develop overnight; fog certainly disrupts the airports..... I
didn’t hear any aircraft heading for Gatwick at the usual early morning time.

away quickly, Middle – this is the “Guard Dog”, and Bottom – sunset sky over Sussex.
