I stayed indoors all day, with just a couple of trips outside to put recycling in the buckets..enough to change the air in my lungs? Possibly not!
The clouds were scudding along, with 50+ mph (80kmh) gusts!! At least the rain stopped by 11am.
I'd found all the socks and base layers that we had sorted out of Pirate's tallboy...in my suitcase!! I thought it was heavy!! A third for the bin, a third for the op shop, under a third possibly to family and a few bits for me.
Now I have started sorting a box of bits and bobs... useful "gubbins" as Tigger's mum would say...
I found an old diary from 2020...with not a lot in it...a couple of birthdays, our friends' marriage in Blenheim NZ...we wondered why they had said to arrive in the afternoon! ( He already had Parkinson's...now with added dementia he is in a home in Essex. They had about twelve years together like us)
My 67th birthday..and the price of a new camera...which I didn't buy!
Not much else...
I tried a different setting on the breadmakers...which should have been better....
Not much lift in that! And yet not solid enough to be good Dwarf Bread!! *
I did half an hour on the turbo after message chatting with a friend..and listened to football games' "post mortem" on the radio to take my mind off it!
Miles, resistance and time....
Supper was a trifle late as I couldn't think what to make...it ended up being pasta pesto with veges and a lump of soft cheese!
Ten o'clock.. definitely bedtime..a bit later than usual to allow for digestion of course.
*See Discworld by T. Pratchett 😎
50+ mph winds with rain doesn't sound enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it’s a tad cold at your place. Do you get snow?
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that it isn't cold...still in plus figures, although further North in the Highlands..a good four hours and more drive from here..there is snow.
DeleteToday we should reach 7⁰
Busy as always. I am confused you mention your birthday but I thought it was in June. If it is now then Happy Birthday. That loaf doesn't look as good as the previous one.
ReplyDeleteNo, my birthday is in June..it was just one of the few things written in the small diary!
DeleteOh my mama told me
ReplyDeleteThere'll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this - Van Morrison
Since you're a trivia lover -- that Van Morrison song was inspired by "Mama Said" by the Shirelles, from the 1960s. (Maybe you know that already!)
DeleteGubbins is a good word. Our winds are gusty too, but not as bad as yours. I did walk to the hospital in the afternoon and it wasn't unpleasant. Funny finding all those clothes in your suitcase!
ReplyDeleteI did wonder about the song...."Mama Said" from my teens!
DeleteYes, the clothes..I'd been hunting for those a year ago after we'd sorted clothes together!!
Pesto with Veggies sounds good. I wondered about you with the storm, not knowing quite how far north it goes. But the wind -- yikes!
ReplyDeleteIt is always interesting to go back and read old journals. I wish I was better at writing them. I would do it in fits and starts but this blog is the best I have ever done, 17 years! Hard to believe.
