Gorgeous morning ....
5th October 2020 (Monday) 10.30 .... we had a lot of rain overnight and the
usual puddles are looking good this morning; but forget the puddles.... we have a glorious morrrrrrrning with lots of magnificent clouds around, some of which can bring a short but heavy shower over us. I got caught in one up at Chapel Green. I’m thinking it’s ‘morning coffee’ time.
18.30 I’ve had a busy day; a mix of working on the computer, some ‘ousework
(not much) and a bit of ‘play’. I
chanced a run up to Chapel Green on the bike and got caught by a heavy shower
(the bike can stand a shower but not
prolonged wet). I dried the bike and it is fine; I then changed my wet things and had another
shower. I feel clean. When I think about it; I haven’t looked at the photographs I went
up to Chapel Green to get. Later in
the day I went up to Balcarres (in the car) for a change of scenery, but it was
spitting rain so I didn’t do the Woodland walk.
This morning I got a phone call from gas, and electricity company asking me to read the meters. I couldn’t do it at that time but arranged to be available, with the readings at 14.00. Bang on 14.00 the phone rang and I delivered the readings. Now I’m wonder what has happened to all the meter readers, who used to come round every so often .... about once a year. I imagine they are ‘unemployed’ now that the furlough has ended, and we are reading our own meters. It’s a sad world we are living in.
21.30 What exciting things will I do tomorrow? I
suppose I could go somewhere different in the car but that’s not getting much
in the way of exercise. The forecast is
‘good’ though there’s a ‘chance of precipitation’ in the first part of the morning, with sunny
spells in the afternoon. I might cut
back the Clematis (if it’s dry), it has been like 
a wild thing this year; the more I cut it back the faster it grows.
I am enjoying working with the postcards but
that’s really a wet day job: it is
absolutely fascinating browsing them. I’m
hoping the albums come sometime this week..... so that can find out if they are
suitable.
