under another sun

Monday, then. Lorraine busy today working from home, then going off to visit Penny and have a workout with her personal trainer. She is feeling trepidatious about starting work again, but went to her office today and felt okay. Sam being very kind and thoughtful to her. Up in St Andrew's Jade received the birthday speaker we'd sent her, saying the bass was good.  In Kenny Towers, I was manacled to my desk, with Keith on my screen. Today's going was slow and sticky with not much to show for our efforts at the end of it all. A brief conversation about foraging. Keith says he makes cider with crab apples.  At five I left the frustrations of work behind, and took a stroll over the hill to clear my head. Lorraine cooked too on return, and we had dinner with Sam in the kitchen.  A quiet evening. I watched Frasier episodes, and Lorraine played on her Nintendo Switch.  More black and white skies around the hillfort. Top west towards Seaford, and east towards Moulsecoomb....

An early morning communication from 123-reg saying I had changed the password so they couldn't do the migration. I had followed their instructions to the letter, but they are going to do it again now after a reset. All I have to do now is sit tight. Nothing happened all day of course, and nothing from the bank again. None of this helping my fed up mood. Recording chats with Robin, and going for a walk in the afternoon, and even a little writing. Lorraine here for the first few hours which is always nice. I took some nice black and white photos on my stroll. Clouds are wonderful.   

Lorraine in recovery mode today, however we did squeeze out to buy another little garden table and chairs, plus a power jet cleaner to clean our decking. Lorraine recovering on her lounger and I put the table and power jet thing together.  Started to clean the decking which was rather fun. We really need to have an outside tap for that kind of thing, as we have a weird kitchen tap which the hose keeps slipping off. I did the spraying and Lorraine got periodically drenched and furious in the kitchen. Still the decking looked lots better afterwards. Lorraine smoothed, we had dinner and happily watched a cop show on TV. I have decided that black and white is the future. Look at this one I took in Guernsey.
