Sunshine after overnight rain ... windy
2nd
February 2017 (Thursday)
.... 09.00 Jings ..... a pleasant surprise this morning ....
we have sunshine! There is a thin
layer of cloud but the sun should
burn that off, leaving us with a nice
morning. The weather forecast was for
it to be wet and windy in the morning, then brighter, with showers in the
afternoon! I’ll have a walk ‘downtown’
for ‘morning coffee’ in a wee while .... and enjoy the sun while it’s visible!

The
sunshine was short lived; it was raining
by 10.00,.... I know this because that’s when
I set off ‘downtown’!
23.00 Oh my word this has been a surprising day; first “Jackie” turned up to visit Janice,
then “JB” turned up to bring me over to Pevensey where I am staying the
night. Ian treated us, by ‘us’ I mean his
next door neighbours Kaye, Jane and Graham, plus Jenny, “JB” and myself, to a
meal out at “The Lamb” (Hooe) to
celebrate him starting his new job on the
Channel Island of Guernsey.... which he starts on Monday. This was a totally unexpected surprise ....
and most enjoyable one: a brilliant meal
with gorgeous company. Loved it.

When
“JB” picked me up the sky was clearing, and by the time we got to Pevensey we
were able to go down to the beach.
Like all beaches Pevensey beach
was exposed to the wind which today was directly onto the beach.... and it was
cold. I grabbed a few photos, (which I
can’t download until I get back to “No1” tomorrow)and we scarpered back to the
car, and bumbled ‘home’ where Jenny had
the kettle ‘on’.
As
I have already said this has been a completely surprising day. I enjoyed my ‘downtown’ walk, in the rain,
had soup and a cuppa in the Civic Centre
cafe, and did
the wee bit of shopping I needed to do. It was when I got back to “No1” that Janice
told me that “JB” was coming to pick me up.... “Jackie was still there; she is awfie nice, and thoughtful.
