Monday afternoon

Good afternoon,

Well, this morning I walked over to the bus stop with my cup of tea. We have a rural bus that comes up here, one bus an hour during weekday daytimes only, and my cup of tea was too good to leave.

So I put my cup in my backpack when I finished the tea, and off I went on the bus.

The weather was very heavy frost and ice, with wall to wall sunshine. Very cold.

I got into town but the post office qeue was too long, so I went on with my journeys, enjoying beautiful landscapes and seas.
Then on the way back, the qeue on the post office didn't seem to have moved at all in two hours, so I went back to the local post office on the way home.

The birds were walking on ice on the pond, pecking puzzledly at the ice.

I have put my orthotics in the trainers, even though they are designed for boots, but they are helping me to walk better.

Some of my washing was nearly dry and some is still slightly damp, not bad considering that the temperature hasn't gone much above freezing, and the washing froze during the night.

I still have caretaking duties today, but Wallace and Gromit is on later too.
