Nice sunrise ....
21st
February 2017 (Tuesday)
... 09.30 It’s a bonnie morning,
though slightly colder than it was yesterday, with less wind: unfortunately the sky has begun
to cloud over
in the past hour so it isn’t as bonnie as it was at sunrise time. I had the beach to myself at that time,
though Sally came down the road on her bike as I was walking down the
Wynd.

My
‘plan’ was to wash the lobby floors etc this morning but that ‘plan’ was made when
the sun was shining.
22.00 By the time I got out for a walk the sky
was overcast, the wind had risen and, although nice enough it wasn’t what I
expected when watching the sun rising over the East Links, a few hours earlier.

I’ve
had a busy enough day, having finally finally got all washing, and ironing
finished, folded and away! In fact I
did a small washing this morning to ‘test’ my washing machine which has
developed a glitch: it does the wash
phase fine, but then thinks the door is not properly closed and won’t do the
rinse and spin until I switch it ‘off’ then back ‘on’ to do the rinse etc. The machine is 6 years old, and the warranty,
for parts, lasted for five years. I
then, being cynical, got to thinking about Volkswagen ‘misleading their customers’ with the ‘computer’ on their cars: from there, it didn’t take me long to get
round to thinking that, anything with a modern, computer style electronics on it, could be probably be ‘fixed’ to ‘break down’ just after the warranty expires! In the case of my washing machine it’s
probably just ‘needing the door catch fixed’. The strange thing is Skipper’s washing
machine (he had the same make of machine as I have) had the same fault! The machine still works, all I have to do
is set it to ‘rinse and spin’ after it “thinks” the door is open. Me thinking that way just shows you how the
mighty Volkswagen Company, has sown the seeds of suspicion regarding everyday
things with
electronics in it!

Tomorrow
the plan is to take a brisk(ish) walk over towards West Bay beach then back
home via the Chapel and the Ferry beach .... weather permitting of course. The weather forecast for tomorrow isn’t
bad; for Thursday it is “bad bad”.
