Definitely not 'Sunny Sussex' ......
21st
December 2016 (Wednesday)
..... 10.30 It’s not cold in Sunny
Sussex’ but it ain’t sunny either; it’s
dreich, with heavy ‘Scotch Mist’ but it may
brighten up later. We had a surprise visit from ‘JB’ who dropped in on his way home from work; this means I have caught up withal the
Pevensey news. He was asking about our ‘villages’
and I told him that I’d left Jim and Jimmy in charge of them, (the ‘villages’ i.e., not themselves), over the Festive Season. He
reckons that should liven the ‘auld place’ up a bit.

My
‘plan’ was to go ‘down town’ but I’m not going to do that until the rain/drizzle
clears up. I think a cuppa could be
required.
22.30 The
‘Scotch Mist’ weather persisted on and orf all day.... a rather miserable kind of day really. I managed to take a walk ‘down town’ in the
early afternoon... which was good
exercise, especially the walk back up the hill. We don’t have much of the way of hills in
Elie and Earlsferry, and it going to take me a while to get used to walking up
Uckfield High Street. With it being
mild, by the time I was back ‘home’ I
was swea ...perspiring.... and in
well in need of a cuppa.

We’ve,
got the laptop all organised; all I
need is the weather to improve so that I can get out with the camera. That said, Michael and Janice have to go to
Eastbourne for the day, so I’m going to bake .... Melting Moments. “Bonnie” the dog will really be i/c.... and
most likely trotting around under my feet.
Colin,
a neighbour of Michael’s came
visiting in the afternoon; although he has lived in Uckfield for many
years he is a ‘Londoner’ .... with that London sense of humour. He reminds me “Spidgie”, also a Londoner,
friend of mine when we worked in the SMC office in Cyprus; “Spidgie” had that same London wit.

The
weather forecast for ‘London and the Southeast is for it to be colder with good
sunny spells after early mist and fog.
