L.S.Lowry in the water

Thanks to Lorraine this morning calling up the plumbers, it turns out that work will resume next Monday. So a day of peace. Spoke to Mum today, and the neighbours next door with the concrete dogs, and increasingly mad wall building and cat shouting antics, have a sold sign on their for sale board outside their house. This a generally excellent thing.

A strange day's work, false starts in my newly freed up morning, but I had a good idea in the late afternoon which turned it into quite a good day. Went for a walk into town, and picked up Lorraine's watch from having a new battery in it, and walked onto the pier, now with a new sign on it reverting to its original name, Brighton Palace Pier. Another scorcher of course. Loads of people in the water, many fully clothed oddly, and it put me in mind of an L.S. Lowry picture a bit.
