Early morning activity
I shouldn’t ask this but, what happened to the storm we were expecting last night? I heard some rain for a short time during the evening and a bit of wind, but that was it. Unless I missed it during the night. Or unless it comes in today, or later tonight. I should keep quiet I guess don’t want to tempt fate.
This is one of those days when I can’t stay long. I didn’t get around to preparing anything interesting or amusing yesterday, so I am up and at it early today, posting a few words and pictures and then heading off to work. I heard the new alarm clock start playing its music at 6.30 (the same two bars of music as it plays every morning, I thought it was supposed to select a new song each day), and leapt out of bed, worried that my early readers would have no blog post to read. It took me 20 minutes to get to the keyboard: Finding clothes in the dark, letting the noisy cat in, feeding him, then getting dressed in the kitchen, putting the kettle on, finding the heater in the living room, taking it to the office, plugging back in all the things unplugged the night before in case we had a storm, changing clothes and putting on the right ones, starting up the computers and heater, making coffee…
So, I’m finally here and it’s time to go. In a moment. The photos are from yesterday when we went into Yialos to check the post office and for Neil to send off his Ancestry DNA sample -there’s a story there which I will get to another day. I’m rushing this morning as we have a lunch invitation for later (sounds very grand) and I’ve a lot to do before heading out again. I’ve not actually looked outside yet, but I can’t hear any bad weather; perhaps it will throw it down on me just as we are leaving for Harani later this morning. Hope not.
