Much to my surprise it was a sunny cloudless sky that greeted me this morning. The forecast is for storms this evening. My daughter is at the MotoGP on Phillip Island and there is a chance that today’s events will be washed out (it is a long way from me). She will be very disappointed if it is because SA has stolen the events from Victoria and next year’s race will be on a street circuit in Adelaide. Doesn’t worry me but Phillip Island is a spectacular circuit I must admit.
I went out early this morning when I realised that I was out of cheese and a few other vital ingredients for life, before coming home I called into the Vietnamese bakery for a dozen wholemeal rolls to freeze.
That’s my Sunday morning sorted, what are you up to?
I haven’t posted for a couple of days as I felt tired and there wasn’t much to write about - just watching random YT Videos; dozing under the duvet; making progress with my stash of unread books
You might have noticed that the government has advised us to keep things like a torch, food for a few days, and so on
Well I have always done that and I think I’m fairly well prepared
Some of the videos I have been watching are about that sort of thing; in fact once you start there are loads of them, and I might just get some extras
As I’m retired I try not to shop at busy times like weekends, but I think I’ll drive to the supermarket by a slightly longer route to keep my new battery charged.
And the bad weather should keep the crowds down; though it does seem to be improving slightly
Now I must finish and go round adjusting my clocks & watches
After last nights high winds only few large twigs came down and a few leaf clusters. Could have been a lot worse if we had not had garden lawn clear up yesterday. bright and sunny today so far hope it stays that way for the next few hours
A bright sunny cloudless day here by the seaside, but with added gale force winds blowing everything about (including me).
Just come back from my daily walk and there is quite a mess everywhere with the storms we’ve had. Yesterday, I did a photo shoot and on the way back, there was road works, diversions, roads blocked with fallen trees, roads closed by floods etc. What would have been a hours drive, turned into nearly three, so we were extremely late getting home. So on the way back my wife had the idea of going down the seafront and eating fish and chips in the car while watching the pouring rain and for any cruise ships that happened to sail past - which were all cancelled due to weather. (No idea why she likes doing this).
So today, I have no idea what’s happening. The wife is taking full advantage of the extra hour in bed so we may go out for a drive a little later, probably to look at Christmas decorations somewhere. I shall more than likely begin to sort through the contents of my camera from yesterday and see if the whole session and drive was worth the effort. I really need to give my garden a going over as it’s a complete mess, but its wet through and need a few days to dry it out.
Getting blowier by the minute here in West Sussex but pleasantly sunny, no complaints from me!
Since my old mini oven has seen better days and frankly become a tad manky I’ve ordered a couple of new ones from Amazon. One at 21 litre capacity and one at 9
There’s just the two of us and these little ovens are so useful and relatively cheap to run, especially the way things seem to be going!
I’ve just been for a walk around our local mill pond with Chilli jnr before popping into our local inconvenience shop for a few essential supplies
