Damp after overnight rain ....
20th
December 2018 (Thursday)
.... 07.00 The sun doesn’t rise for
another hour and three quarters so it’s still dark, but I can see that it has
been raining, and, as I can’t see the stars it must be overcast. I’ve been out as far as the front gate. I’d planned to do a washing but that has been
put ‘off’ until tomorrow, because, although it isn’t cold there’s hardly any
wind. I’ll have a cuppa.
10.00 As it was dull and wet earlier I dashed along to Leven to deliver Janet’s Christmas cards: when I was there I took the car through the car wash, and did a small shopping in Sainsbury’s. We have a much brighter sky now; a 50/50 mix of clouds and blue sky. It’s a nice day, but there’s no wind so I’ll leave the washing where it is until tomorrow. I’ve been feeling ‘one degree under’ all morning, but brightened up when Irene appeared, like ray of sunshine, with a Christmas card. Right now I’m going for the paper... and morning coffee.

20.00 The ‘Drop in Cafe’ was very quiet
today; not surprising when you consider
the kind of weather we had in the afternoon, and Christmas being ‘round the
corner’. Nevertheless we had a braw afternoon,
with hot mince pies, numerous cuppas and loads of chat; the ‘cafe’ always brightened up the dull afternoon. It was
dark, and wet, by the time we left so I didn’t
go to the harbour.

The
ink I ordered might be delivered tomorrow, or Saturday, so I might get the insides
of the cards finished after all. I’m
not going to buy an Epson printer again;
they are cheap to buy, but very expensive to run.
Tomorrow’s
weather is forecast to be ‘light cloud with a gentle breeze’. I like gentle breezes; makes me think Spring thoughts. You know .... jumpin’ in puddles and all
that stuff. I’m going to Leven to do
the stuff I forgot to do today.
