spells’, on a brisk wind. John
had to go to a shop in Eastbourne; and,
as this was the perfect morning for that kind of mission, I went for ‘the run’.... and to get some wet look photos of
Sussex from the car.
The
shops were busy .... I went to ‘Boots’ for cough mixture and toothpaste, when
John was in a clothes shop .... I forget the name of it. We came home via Eastbourne sea front,
then into the Sussex countryside: by
this time the sky was clearing and ‘sunny spells’ were reasonably regular.
Last
night I watched a film until 00.45 .... this is very late for me; it was one of those kind that I had to see
how it finished. I wouldn’t have
started watching it if I’d noticed when it finished! That said ..... I did enjoy it.
18.00 We had a nice enough afternoon; but I didn’t go out as this has been one of
those ‘couple of degrees under’ days .... because of this cold. Oh .... do you remember the debacle with
Southern Trains when we were trying to get from London Bridge to Uckfield? Well, because I was two hours late in
arriving at my final destination .... Uckfield,.... I travelled all the way from
Kirkcaldy to Uckfield free.

Southern
Trains having to return the cost of the whole journey. They would also have to reimburse many of
the other passengers for the shorter journey from London Bridge to
wherever. Who says Southern Trains are useless? Okay they are erratic, but free a lot of
the time. Actually it was frustrating
at the time, and must be really frustrating for passengers who rely on ‘Southern’
to get them into, and out of, London for work.
We’re
going ‘downtown’ for an ‘Indian’ tonight, so I’m going to have ‘50’ before
getting myself organised. I’m hoping
to feel mair ‘in the mood’ when I smell the Chicken Korma.... right now I feel ‘sluggish’; actually, I’m wondering what the

is now the Indian Restaurant, was when originally built.
