Grey, but interesting, morning ....
9th
January 2018 (Tuesday)
.... 09.00 We’ve got a grey, and not
very exciting looking morning in Sussex, but at least it’s dry. It’s not the kind of morning to attract
this boy outside.... but I will have a walk as far as ‘The Centre’ for a cuppa,
and ... I’ll go into the Library to see what they have in the way of local
history books.
14.30 Janice was going downtown, so I got a lift down to the main Car Park, which is not far from my target for this morning .... Uckfield Library. Uckfield Library is well endowed with Local/Sussex History books; and the lassie on the desk was very helpful. She, the lassie on the desk, may be the latest addition to the ever increasing list of girlfriends.... oh ....and I also found a few interesting books. After the Library my next port of call was Tesco’s, then into the Centre for a bite to eat. The Centre provided a pleasant surprise; Lee-Ann was working. I did see Barrie but only in the distance, and he was outside while I was inside; Ted was setting up for a NADFAS (National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies) meeting this evening. I enjoyed a bowl of soup, a roll, a read of my paper, and then bumbled my back to “No 1”; this time on foot, and laden with the messages bought in Tesco’s: I’d forgotten about having to carry them up the hill!..... and was well ready for the cuppa that Janice provided about five minutes after I got ‘home’.

22.00 I’ve had an interesting day .... reading up
about old Sussex, and this has been a perfect winter’s day for doing that. Actually I have also learned how ‘Bird’s
Eye’ fish fingers are made: and the fact
that they were introduced to the world at a Brighton Hotel in 1956. You will be glad to know that our weather
is going to be, ‘brighter with sunny spells later’ tomorrow; and more importantly the wind is going back
to the West... for the past few days is
has been from the East; East, as most of
you know, is not my favourite wind direction.
