Cracking day ....
29th
December 2016 (Thursday)
09.30 ....and, after a frosty start, we have another
“Sunny Sussex” morning; it really is
gorgeous. The only thing missing
is a
beach: back home it would be a perfect
day for ‘reflection’ photographs;
there’s nae wind. I’ll go for a
walk sometime today.... once the temperature gets up a bit .... right now it’s
cuppa time.

22.30 It has been a bonnie day, though it was
cold in the shade. I walked over to
Leeann’s, where Michael and Janice were babysitting, so I did manage a short
walk. At Leeann’s I had a cuppa, ate
some chips, and had “Darcie” saying “it disnae mak’ sense”; with a ‘Scottish’ accent!
Back at “No.
1” I decided to tidy up the
laptop “Pictures” folder; I ‘Moved’
28,348 photos into a ‘Travel Stick.
This took five hours, during which time I read a book about Sussex,....
a very interesting book about Sussex;
and brought in a washing.
All
this ‘doing things’ eventually wore me out;
I fell asleep. Only for twenty
minutes. Oh ....the laptop is working
faster again; being 28,348 photos ‘lighter’
has made a difference.

Fog
is forecast for tomorrow morning, so we won’t have our bright, sunny and frosty
Sunny Sussex first thing tomorrow.
However “JB” is coming over and is sure to brighten things up... fog or
no fog. We have ‘nae plans’ for
tomorrow; at this time of year we just ‘play
it by ear’.
I am beginning to adjust to this ‘nae beach’
routine, but it isn’t easy. Normally I’d
be ‘up’ and on ‘my’ beach before breakfast at home; in Uckfield I’d normally use the
Nature
Reserves as a substitute for the beach,
but with the Reserve paths being ‘smeery’ I’m staying off them. Oh well there’s loads of coffee shops full
of friendly people.
