Autumnal morning .....

9th August 2023 (Wednesday)     08.30 .... There’s a fresh autumnal feel to the

air this morning.... a nice morning for going out to play.     I was late in bed last night and slept late this morning; however I feel lively but haven’t been out on the bike yet.    The sun is making inroads on the early morrrrrning cloud so we should have a bonnie, but cool in the fresh breeze, day by mid morning.   I’ll bike up to have morning coffee with Heather, Ray and Alistair;  and come home by a circuitous route to empty the bike battery.    Tomorrow is going to warmer.... more like the temperatures we  would normally have at this time of year. 

14.40   I enjoyed morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee’, at Beaufort Cottage, with Heather and Alistair;  catching up with their ‘news’... followed by a wander down the garden.   From the human perspective, the summer weather has been mostly disappointing; but it has been an excellent summer for roses!  They’ve been producing flowers in abundance.  Actually the weather has been disappointing today so far.... mostly overcast with a cool (for the time of year) breeze.   It looks like the sun might be bursting through now:  if so I’ll go out on the bike ‘cos I  only went as far as Beaufort Cottage in the morning;  it was spitting rain at that time!   I’ve been ‘resting’ in (front of the tele) so will have a wake up cuppa, then get the bike out once the sun breaks through.  Hopefully we’re in for a decent afternoon and evening.

21.00   I got the bike out and went up to Chapel Green to get a few 'sun setting over the cliffs' photos;  that was a failed mission as the clouds moved in and obscured the sun.   However, having spent a lot of time on the computer today, I enjoyed the exercise.   Tomorrow is going to be ‘dry with variable amounts of cloud at first, then the sunny and warm in the afternoon’.    I’ll go for the paper first thing then charge up the bike battery, and got out again in the afternoon.
