Claudia and Jonas arrive

Up early, Lorraine having a nice lie in. Then breakfast, wordle, tidying up, thinking about writing, and a chat with Anton. His latest physio seems to indicate he is doing very well, but his next task is to learn how to walk normally again. 

I was trying to loosen a screw in some curtain poles which, some time later Loraine and I successfully attached to the wall. In the afternoon we also put some heavy shelves up. A disgusting business, and the less said about it the better: after enormous effort, I have put them in upside down.

Beth came around with Enzo for a bit, after the wee bairn had been weighed. He's making excellent progress. Beth also trying to sort out the wiper problem on her car, took it into the local Kendall's garage and was quoted an eye-watering £400. 

'A little bundle of joy' is a cliche for a baby, but there's no doubt Enzo is one.

A beautiful day. I did my paces under blue skies, and big fluffy white clouds, which I always want to make black and white images from. Listening today to Jung's account of his relationship with Freud, which I think would make a fantastic comedy. Freud fainted severally when he was around Jung, and said Jung had murder fantasies about him. Jung reading between the lines clearly had aggressive feelings towards him, and saw him as a sort of father figure. It was all extremely intense and once you notice the hilarity of the situation, you can't ignore it.    

In the evening I made off to the Boot where I met Steve,  very pleased to be back in Seaford after a protracted stay with family in Leicester. No other rebooters, but it was jolly good fun to catch up. We were joined, to my delight, by Melissa and her husband Chris for half an hour. Chris I warmed to instantly, and Steve found a kindred spirit in him. I asked them how they met, and Melissa,  originally from Texas via Maryland, found herself deep in rural Sussex driving pheasants towards the guns. And Chris was one of these. Chris is an estate agent for farmer estates, and joins his clients on all kinds of country activities. 

I repaired home to find Lorraine, who told me that Claudia and Jonas's train had to be rerouted. Eventually we were able to pick up the tired travellers in Lewes. It must have been a horrible journey, but they were very cheery. Lovely to see my favourite niece, and Jonas. Lots to talk about before it got too late. They are both looking well and seemed to have survived their spell in Scarborough. More talking tomorrow no doubt.

Below a beautiful day, but I had to turn it into black and white too, also an accidental shot of my shadow which I really like.
