Windy Day - Cooler at 18C

You don't have to go to Egypt for sun-peeping-over-pyramid-shots. I just happened to be sitting in this carpark and thought 'that looks interesting'. My guess is that skies in Egypt don't look like this anyway. My love of skies, particularly ones with sun-edged clouds, remains insatiable. Much cooler again today. It was around 13C when we got up, and is only 18C now, coupled with a strongish 21km/hour, north wind. But it suits me so much better than the heat.

People's holidays continue. David just rang and they have reached Christchurch. I think it is the one on the Solent, and not the New Zealand version ! He was sitting on the quayside again, with Brooke while Helen and Sky were crabbing. Hope they get one big enough to eat - that would be fun. Another nice caravan-site apparently and they haven't yet explored the town. As I remember it, it is very picturesque. with a lovely Church. But I could be totally wrong.

Y had left a message on Steve's answerphone saying that if Hannah wanted to come over to stay she would be most welcome. When we returned from shopping Hannah had left a message on our answerphone saying she would love to come for a 'sleepover'. She and Y will have a great time. They chatter away like two little old women anyway; so, without the distraction of Miles and Millicent it will be a fun time. Unless I'm wanted for the equivalent of 'dummy' in Bridge I shall keep out of it.

Which reminds me (and you will wonder how) - one of our upcoming winter-programme lectures at Mansfield National Trust, is about the Monopoly Board ! It is with slides, so we shall love it.

That's it. I think ....................
