Feeling 'nearly bright eyed and bushy tailed' ....
18th
April 2020 (Saturday) 07.00 .... ‘Sunny intervals with a gentle
breeze off the North Sea’ is our weather forecast for today; so not too bad actually though coming off the
water the breeze will be cool. I
haven’t been further than the front gate from where everything looked the same
as it did yesterday. Our villages always look bonnie only some days they are
more colourful than others.... depending on how sunny it is. I’ll get the bike out in a wee while and go
for the paper.
11.30 I 'm just about to go for the paper now; I
ended up watching an old film (1964) set in Sunny Sussex in the 1960’s around
the Hastings, Eastbourne and Brighton area. It
was braw seeing Sussex as it was then.
Now I’m all action.... or will be after I have a quick cup o’ tea. The sun has broken through so the
temperature has risen; warm enough to go
out on the bike but I’ll stick to the sheltered places, out of the wind as much
as possible. Must go slight ‘flap on’
now.'Girl' duck with two 'boy' ducks hot on her tail. |

19.30 It’s a nice sunny evening but the cool
wind off the sea is keeping me from
visiting the beach; that, and the fact that I’m really tired tonight
after my wanderings today. The ‘wanderings’
also agitated the knee ever so slightly;
tomorrow will be a more restful day with more time spent in and around
the Hutte.... and less wandering.... (maybe). The forecast for tomorrow is good; long sunny spells with a moderate breeze.... unfortunately wind
will still be off the North Sea (East) and therefore cool, however it should be really warm in the
garden. Any wandering I do will be
done in the morning.
