… some sun today.<\/p>\n

I know that that might be had to believe but it is in fact true.<\/p>\n

Not this morning, though. <\/p>\n

Horrible, wet, grey and miserable, but that’s enough about me. So was the weather. <\/p>\n

I had a bad night’s sleep for one reason or another – probably the rain through the night but anyway, this morning it was my turn to be sociable as we kept bumping into C\u00e9cile’s mother’s neighbours and relations as we were doing the shopping. <\/p>\n

The bad news is though that I’ve nearly finished my book on the Titanic A Night to Remember<\/a>\"\", and so we called at the library, which has Wednesday and Sunday mornings as its opening times. <\/p>\n

Closing time on Wednesdays is 12:00 and we arrived at 12:05, as you might expect. <\/p>\n

Ahh well.<\/p>\n

But C\u00e9cile has at least been persuaded that, as her future might lie here for a good while yet, she would be better-off opening an internet account on the island and so we coped with that today. <\/p>\n

Not sure when they might open the line, though. Probably long after C\u00e9cile has left, I reckon.<\/p>\n

A stroke of luck in the builder’s yard though. <\/p>\n

I want to buy a demi-chevron<\/em> to make a handrail for C\u00e9cile’s mum down the steps out of the house. But C\u00e9cile recognised the guy there and he let us have a pile of offcuts for free which was very nice.<\/p>\n

Not only that, he’s a rock and blues drummer too.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, seeing as how he knows everyone on the island, I’ve sent him off to make further enquiries about this Peugeot 203 pickup that I saw the other day.<\/p>\n

For tea tonight I made another one of my potato pies, and that went down just as well as the first one did. <\/p>\n

That’s got me thinking that I might go absolutely wild and have a go at making a pear tart next and see what that turns out like.<\/p>\n

So after our couple of hours of really good weather this afternoon, it’s now clouded over again and rain is threatening once more. <\/p>\n

Will it never end?<\/p>\n
