I was listen to the lady from BOM this morning explaining why we have been having such a record breaking cold spell. Apparently it is all to do with the cloudless skies and lack of wind, no clouds means the daytime heat escapes into the atmosphere and lack of wind means that the cold lower layers are not mixed with the warmer upper layers. So there you go.
This morning was my Monday coffee and cake morning as usual which was very enjoyable. One of our number posed a question which was a bit shocking when we discovered the truth, Will deal with that elsewhere.
Apart from that I think this arvo will be a bit more door painting - ho hum.
Good morning!
Rain overnight, dull & cool & damp now though not actually raining
Mind you it’s early, 05-30, so it might brighten up later
So, I’m up early; no special reason other than that I can’t go back to sleep so I’ll settle to a doze in my comfy chair
A few errands in town today -
last week both my landline and mobile phone stopped working, no doubt due to the changes in the telephone system
I knew it was imminent, but I thought it wouldn’t happen until early next year
So I need a new phone
My now non working mobile phone is a Doro from Tesco and I’ve been happy enough with it, so I’ll just get a current basic cheap 4G model ‘for seniors’
Oddly enough as you can see my computer still works even though that is via the landline but how long for I don’t know
However this has been a bit of a wake up call and I really must sort myself out and drag myself into more modern times
Other errands include collecting a couple of books that I’ve ordered from the library; get a bank mini statement; get a haircut.
Glory be, the mini heatwave has passed! I actually slept well last night. Nothing major planned for today. I have a quick meeting in town this morning and the rest of the day is mine. I’ll probably pick up a back of multipurpose compost on the way home for the basil seeds that I ordered from Amazon yesterday.
If yesterday was Saucy Sunday then today is most certainly Atonement Monday. I have some domestic chores to attend to including scrubbing and mopping the kitchen floor…talk about life in the fast lane!
