Bonnie sunrise .....

30th October 2024 (Wednesday)     08.45 .... I've been for the paper.... and down at the harbour

to catch the sunrise (07.14).   It was quiet at that time of the morning, but people were out enjoying it;  including one bloke swimming!   I met and chatted to Carol at the Toft;  from there I went to the 'paper shop'.  

Back at Ivy I put on the kettle, hung out two sheets.... big ones.   In fact they are huge.   Must be King size.   Anyway, now that that's all done, I'm going to have breakfast.

20.30    The above mentioned sheets have been ironed but that was not an easy job;  I've gone off the idea of ironing them.... they are too big to manage easily now.   In future I'll just fold them neatly before hanging them in front of a radiator.   Having said that, when the time comes to iron them .... Yep, I'll do it because I'd feel guilty not doing it.

There has been that much hype about the Budget that I decided to watch the it.  I wouldn't call it the most exciting viewing, but it seemed to excite the Opposition.   It doesn't look like it will make much difference to me.    Funny thing was that I actually watched, (except for five minutes to make a cuppa),  the whole thing.   I didn't even fall asleep.   And I forgot to go to the baker's so didn't go up to Kinneuchar to visit Shona.   

The Chinese Space programme is beginning to upset some people in the USA:  they claim that the Chinese will 'weaponize' space... and lay claim to bits of the moon.   And the American's won't?   Space exploration is interesting and exciting and shouldn't be 'weaponized'  by any country:  but, come on America, you're doing it for the minerals to be found on the moon, so you can hardly criticize China for doing the same!

Tomorrow looks like being another quiet day, with weather much the same as it was today.   I've had a 'rest day' today:  tomorrow I will make up the big bed for 'JB'!    This weather is not the best for me going out and about;  but I need the exercise.
