August 2020 (Friday) 11.00 .... My word.... I did enjoy
going for
 |
Early morning swim.
|
the paper this morning: I
enjoy going for the paper every morning but this was one of those morning’s you dream about. I photographed it (the morning) 176 times....
I got ever so slightly excited. The
beach could be busy today! Orf to have morrrrrrrning
coffee.... before doing something in the garden.
15.30 It has been a beautiful day and Ferry Road
has been busy with folk and traffic. I
don’t know where all the cars go; there’s
nowhere to park in the Ferry. Maybe
they go round in circles admiring the ‘Royal bit’ at the Centre of the
Universe. Yes .... I can understand a
visitor wanting to do that. Actually
the beach will have been busy; and a lot
of the cars will have been day-trippers.What
have I been doing? Apart from admiring
the greenness of everything in the garden I haven’t done very much. I charged up the bike battery so I might go
somewhere tomorrow morning, but with the roads being busy it won’t be far.... unless I head for Balcarres; that doesn’t involve much travelling on the
main road, and it’s quiet when I get
onto the estate.

21.00 We’ve had what I call a hot day but not
nearly as hot as it was in ‘Sunny Sussex and the Southeast.... and it’s to be
hot down there for the next few days.
The forecaster was talking about 25c overnight tonight in London; that’s not comfortable. It will be interesting to hear how hot it
is overnight in Sussex. Too hot for me
that’s for sure; and yet I had 19 months in Cyprus and that included a long summer ..... and I enjoyed it! Now I’m likin’ our fresh Scottish air.I
surprised myself by doing some work with the cactus's; and intend re-potting some tomorrow.... if I
have enough compost. The ‘plan’ is to get
stuff done before the heat of the day;
starting with the ‘paper run’. I
would not like to be trying to have a night’s sleep in the Sunny Sussex
tonight. When I think of it I would
..... but it’s unlikely I’ll be down in Sussex until  |
| Bonnie sunset sky. |
there’s a reliable
vaccine.
We had a bonnie at at sunset.... it's going to be bonnie day tomorrow right enough. 'Red sky at night etc......!
