Calm after the storm ....
26th August 2020 (Wednesday) 07.30 ....thankfully the wind moderated overnight and we have a
quieter morning, but the sky is still heavily overcast, with the threat of showers. I’ll go for the paper about lunch time; by that time the sky might have started to brighten up, though it doesn’t look promising just now.
09.30 Since
my first update I have had a migraine (weather) and this will cramp my activities
for today (I’ve taken a couple of pills).
I’ll most likely fall asleep in fro not the tele. We had a glimpse of the sun trying to break
through the clouds so there is a chance of brighter spells in the afternoon; by that time I should be feeling mair active.
15.00 I did fall asleep watching the tele and
woke up (after half an hour) feeling brighter, which is more than can be said
of the weather. Although the sky has
lightened there are spits and spots of rain falling just now ,so the planned
circumnavigate of the villages has been postponed; I might get out in the evening. At least the sky is clearing, albeit
slowly; it has been wet and miserable up
till an hour or so ago. I ventured up
into the big attic today, with a view to contemplating doing some work but, I
went right off that idea; going up and
down the loft ladder was hard work.

21.00 By the time the sun finally broke through
it was coming up to sunset, but at least the day ended brighter than it
began; and the weather should be
slightly better tomorrow. Sunny spells
and light showers are mentioned. I went for a walk, up to the Pony Field and
golf course for my exercise; I’m hoping
the weather will be more amenable for getting out tomorrow. I can’t help but think that we’re going to
have a long autumn/winter if we don’t get a decent spell of summer-like weather
soon.
I’ve
had a lazy day; migraine’s take ‘the
wind out of my sails’ .... usually until the next day, when I wake up after a
good night’s sleep. That reminds me; I need to find a book to read in bed.... I
finished the one I was reading last night.
It was about Sussex. I’ll make a
mug of Horlicks, have a look at the news the get orf to bed.
