Bonnie morning ...
12th
January 2018 (Friday)
.... 10.00 Although it’s overcast, the
cloud layer is higher, and it’s therefore much brighter, than it was yesterday,
with a clear sky towards the South; a
bonnie morning ..... much the same as up in Fife, except we are warmer. Everything is quiet outside; the ‘plan’ was to stay ‘in’, and warm in an
effort to shake off the remnants of the cold;
however I’m feeling perky so the ‘plan’ may change .... I’ll see how the weather is later.
18.00 Our weather remained dour all day.... in
fact the sky became ‘heavier’, and it looked like it was raining on the South
Downs. I’ve had a happy day staying
in! Feeling creative, and, it being a
perfect kind of day, I made a batch o’ scones.... then ate a couple. Funny thing is that the scones I made are
to the same recipe (the Bero book) that I use at home, yet they taste better
made in Janice’s oven. It, Janice’s
oven, is electric, and fan assisted .... the temperature seems much more
accurate than my gas fired one. Having
said that “I’m happy”, the dour weather has had a side effect, that makes me
not so happy; I’ve lost my voice! This, to me, is the equivalent of
President Trump having his nuclear finger cut orf! Catastrophic! I bought pills and stuff from the Chemist
yesterday ....apparently there’s a lot of it about... no, not the pills n’
stuff..sore throats etc. I’ve no doubt there’s loads of ‘pills n’ stuff about
too! Jings, that was a long winded
way to say that I’ve got a sore throat!
21.30 Tomorrow I think I might continue with
staying ‘in’ and warm, in an effort to shake off this sore throat/cold. I’m
enjoying googling Uckfield’s history; WWII
Uckfield Home-guard Bn should be interesting.... (Uckfield is well within Dad’s Army territory).....
and would have been in the ‘front’ very quickly if the Germans had invaded.
Sussex
is forecast to have a few ‘fleeting sunny spells’ tomorrow, and it is to feel
cold in a brisk east wind..... yes, I
think another day in’ and warm, could be a good idea. I’ll begin by having an early night in
bed; Rebus is on TV so I’ll watch that.
