What are you all up to today? - part 3

We've got up this morning to a rather grey and wet start to the day. I felt sorry for the couple opposite us in having to pack up and leave in the rain. However, they did very wisely take their awning down and packed it away in yesterday's dry conditions. After they had hitched up, the rear wheels of the car did a little spin before they moved off their grass pitch. A rather wet Sunday departure for those that are going home today.

Our car is booked in to have four new off road tyres fitted next Thursday. We're going to need them if these wet conditions continue.

Brighton and Kent.

Millie,  glad you hada lovely holiday, always thinkNYorkshire is special.

We visited Southwold yesterday,  what a nice little town. Did the Adnams shop of course. And visited the lighthouse, which looked very out of place between the houses. Even hada walk along the pier. 

Enjoying a lazy morning, but are planning a visit to Snape later. 

Kids stayed out overnight we got up and walked the dog .  Had a text whilst out that they'd be back home before we go out to lunch at 2. We've been in an hour and a half heard no more and they've not arrived . Very warm here no sun very light shower and a bit of wet with no rain at the mo. Catching up on here after stripping and remaking bed. Even got it dried outside smells nice. 

There are a few things that I'd like to do while down here, but it all depend on time available - order a pizza from Malcolm and debate finances with him, search all the pet shops in Kent to find one run by a siberian dog with a penchant for bonios and visit a boatyard in Kent known as the docking station for Concord 

On Sundays we try not to do much. Of course cows have to be milked. Calvers and calves fed and bedded. Outside stock checked. And them especially if the weather is poor, the  day's our own (well, from 10 till 3).

One of the things we do is read the Sunday Times - plenty of sections with something to interest both of us.

I've just been ready the Sunday Times Magazine, and there's an intersting arcticle about Gig Economy. Which is not about the precarious financial benefits of being in a band, but self employed workers used by firms such as Uber and Deleveroo. (Other delivery services etc are available),

If you are thinking of doing this sort of work, or are already doing it, try to get hold of a copy (page 13). Unfortunately the bulk of the online version is only available to subscribers (not me!) - but if you can click here.

Spent an extremely pleasant few hours in the company of NellieTheHooker and his charming wife last night. What a lovely couple.

Today we started to get things ready for our next break, later this week to the Lakes, so lots of small jobs done. Hope the weather improves.

Got part  way  thro'  tidying  &  cleaning  the  Office  Study { Spare  bedroom  }  When  the  fone  rang  !!  Technician  from  Currys/ P.C.  World  ringing  to  say  my  new  computer  is  now  all  set  up  and  ready  for  collection    And  this  on  a  Sunday  at  mid  morning 

Little  bit  surprised  at  that  but  started  grafting  harder  &  harder  --  anybody  got  a  spare  recycling  wheelybin  or  three  please  ?!?  { **  this  all  taking  place,  of  course,   during,  in  between  and  before  certain  sports  programmes  on  T.V.  ** }

The  old  machine  is  now  definitely  past  its  "expiry  date"  'cos  it  took  me  Eight (8)  mins  to  kick  it  into  some  semblance  of  life  today  but  it  owes  me  little,  just  hope  the  new  one  lasts  as  long  {  ??  should  that  be  I  hope  I  last  as  long  ??}  We  shall  see,  we  shall  see !  Harwell,  back  to  the  backing  up  !!
