Rain ...
6th
October 2019 (Sunday)....
07.30 Hmmmmm .....it has been raining
all night and it’s
raining still, not a pretty scene at all this morning; definitely a day for the computer. I won’t be going far today, in fact if the
weather forecast is correct it will be tomorrow afternoon before we see the sun for any length
of time. What am I doing out of bed? I need a caffeine fix.

11.00 Don’t ask me why.... but I’ve been to the beach; and rapidly found that the beach is definitely
not the place to be today! Having said
that I did have it had all to myself;
not even one dog dragging its owner out for a morning stroll! Following that I went to the harbour in the
car, then home via Kinneuchar. Everything
appears to be where it should be; but the
trees are looking a bit bedraggled..... and so am I (nothing new there).

15.00 Having just wakened up after a much needed
catnap (I had a migraine so took a couple of pills) I now feel brighter.... but
it will take an early night in bed to get back the frisky feeling. Even though the rain has stopped, and the wind
has freshened and is beginning to dry things up, I won’t go out again today. There was a note in the letterbox mentioning
the picture (“The Green Book”) that’s being shown in the Town Hall at 16.45 but
I’d better ‘pass’ on that.... although it is, by all accounts, an excellent
film.
20.30 Well it has been a drab kind o’ day but I
have managed to do some studying.... mostly about rabbits. Don’t ask why ‘rabbits’.... but it was
interesting how they have been treated over the centuries since introduction
into the UK by the Normans in the 12th century:
very interesting stuff. I used
to like eating rabbit but have never touched one since Myxomatosis decimated
the wild bunny population in the 1950’s.
I
came across rabbits while studying “Agriculture in the 19th Century”.

‘Plan
for tomorrow’? Not yet formulated....
though I will most likely visit Jim at some point. The weather forecast is not great.... more
rain. Tuesday looks like being
sunnier.... the bike is ‘resting’ until then.
