.... 09.30 Oh my word ..... we have
a gorgeous, “bright and sunny” morning though there is fog in the valleys, and it is

cool; but it is a really nice day for
going out, which I will do later.
First I need another cuppa to get me into action. There is not much in the way of wind so the
air quality will still be ‘poor’.
However wind is forecast for later in the week.... along with the chance
of rain,.... the combination of which
will clear the air.
23.30 “No
1” has been going ‘like a mill’ today with visitors appearing at regular
intervals for about 10.30 onward; that’s when ‘Debra’ arrived. Debra left about 12.30 and an hour later
Pauline, who works with Janice, popped in.

I made a cuppa, blethered with the girls for a while, then went upstairs
to have ‘50’: when I came down Pauline
had been replaced by Angie. I’m
finding it hard to keep up with all my ‘new’ girlfriends. “No1” lounge is beginning to resemble a
florists.... and there are cards everywhere!
She’s a popular lady is Janice!
Jings it’s frustrating; “JB” and I go to Brighton on what was a
frosty and foggy day, and today has been really lovely.... bright sunny, and
warm once the sun got going. After I
had a bowl of soup and a cuppa in the ‘Civic
Centre’ I walked home via the Hempstead Nature Reserve, which is the
flood plain of the River Uck. There is
a good, and well kept path through it, boardwalk on the wetter bits, so really
easy to walk through.... and not too muddy.
I enjoyed walking on grass and through a wood.... very relaxing. I might have a go at some other reserve,
tomorrow perhaps, depending on how the
weather is and how I feel.
We’ve
been watching Part 1 of “Lucan” on the TV tonight , the story of murder of the

his
children’s nanny and his mysterious disappearance. The last time ‘Lucan’ was seen on British
soil was near Uckfield would you believe.
A good story of 1974 high society
intrigue.

all three taken on the Hempstead Nature Reserve today.
