and the weather is wet and windy. The
overcast sky is to be with us for most of ‘the day’, with sporadic wet spells. I
might do a spot of ‘sporadic’ myself today.... I like sporadic.... and think I
could be good at it. The ‘plan’ for
today is... do I have a ‘plan’? .... oh aye... do some dusting, and work on the computer.
14.00 Dustin’ isn’t a job that grabs my attention
for long; it’s easy enough to think
about doing some dusting, but doing it is mind-numbing. I went
down to the beach. Although the beach
was busy, with holidaymakers out walking, it wasn’t exciting. The sky was overcast (still is), and there’s
a cool Northeast wind, this made the beach ‘not the place’ to be. I went back home and ate something. It was ‘lite lunch’ time. It’s not the kind of day for going
somewhere in the car: so I’ll play with
my Cornwall photographs. Oh .... I found another 131 photographs of Polperro
that I’d forgotten to download; well I
don’t know if I’d forgotten to download them, or made a mistake

when downloading
them; but ‘found’ they have been ....
and I am excited. They’re the ones I
took when coming into Polperro harbour on the “Sea Cress”. I’ll
make a cuppa then have a browse.
19.30 This has been an unexceptional kind of day for
me; however I did get stuck into the
dustin’ eventually. I unplugged the
tele and took it orf its stand, and gave the lot, including the tele, a
thorough clean... and polish. That,
and browsing the Polperro photographs, helped to pass a drab afternoon. I’ll sort the photographs out later, but I
am pleased with what I found. So ....
in spite of the weather being dreary (it’s actually ‘dreich’ just now .... being overcast and wet) I have had a
busy and reasonably satisfying day.
Having said that I’m hoping for some sunny spells tomorrow; something longer than the blink of sunshine
we had this morning. The forecast for
tomorrow is not great; overcast but dry
with the slight

chance of a sunny spell later.... not a day for painting sheds....
or going for a run in the car. I might
continue with some more ‘ousework, now that I’m nearly in the mood.
Oh,
I nearly forgot; I watched the Beechgrove
Garden 40th Anniversary programme this afternoon .... that was interesting. It will be an early night in bed for ‘the
boy’ tonight; and probably another ‘sleep
in’ tomorrow morning.
