Poked my nose out of the door and nearly got blown away. Another gale. Oh well. Having #morningcoffee and a fit of the weather-related sulks.

It’s lovely outside. Clear sky, guinea fowls roosting and fluttering and calling, Venus shining brightly, but, heavens, it’s cold, and an icy g&t isn’t helping. I should have mulled wine. And, for no reason at all, I’m in floods. Geez. I need to pull myself together.

The occasional piping from the guinea fowl sounds like tree frogs starting up in the evenings. I ache for the Caribbean again. Not long to wait now, but I do wonder if this the last time I’ll go. Had better make the most of it then!

I have been sitting in the sunshine, reading.

Went shopping. Forgot the salt.

What was quite a promising dawn has turned rather claggy and damp- feeling, which is disappointing.

Just before first light there were muffled squeaks and piping from the Guinea fowl. They’re now practising their unlovely squawking, trying to drown out the robins and thrushes which are greeting my early #morningcoffee on what is a mild, calm, dry start to the day.

I cannot BELIEVE I forgot the salt!

FB has just, helpfully, told me that (name’s) birthday is today. That’s nice. I have no idea who that particular person is.

Oh not more bloody wind and rain due on Sunday. Will this winter never end?

The replacement wing mirror was fixed very quickly and with the original coloured back, so it was cheaper than it might have been. The garage very kindly gave me the spare back. I don’t know if they think I’ll need it at some point (not wholly unlikely) or didn’t want to pay for its disposal. 🧐

Contemplating that I have packed those things which ought not to have been packed, and left unpacked those things which ought to have been packed.

It does seem that in the major life events of the past few years and present day I am plagued with iffy wifi and telephone. And I am not used to having to glue the mobile to my hand in case someone wants to get hold of me. I want my landline with answer service and little flashing light again! 😬😢

Had a refreshingly cool shower this morning. Not quite sure why. 🥶

Very windy out, by the sound of it, so a very early #morningcoffee is happening. That may be followed by another snooze as it’s too damn early to get up properly.

I tried the TV. There seems to be a lot of channels I’ve never heard if, many of which appear to be trying to sell jewellery. Odd.

Some of the guinea fowl roost in the tree next to the cottage I’m renting. There are various clucks and squawks as they settle but there’s also a whistle, which definitely sounds as if one of them is already snoring.

House emptied, apart from bits of rubbish and general filth.

Sitting, rather bored, out of the way, while two very nice moving men load up the van.

I wonder what European politicians think privately of the loon-faced orange-masked dictator they are now dealing with in Washington, not to mention his thieving minion Musk.

Don’t you mean “continuing a trend of smartphone companies ripping off consumers and laughing all the way to the bank”?

If anyone believes that Trump will be content with four years as President they’re deluded. If he can’t break the Constitution and just go on, he’ll do a Putin and put Vance or another patsy in nominal charge. #bbcpm

I thought it was supposed to be getting warmer? I’ve just been outside to get a signal on the phone and am thoroughly chilled. To whom can I complain?
