Friday 4th July

SHE SAID:

As the weather was very ordinary we stayed in today. We both had plenty to keep us occupied on the computers, washing, & some minor stuff with the van & settling in here.

As is usual with a “quiet day” it disappeared quite quickly.

Kathy dropped by in the early evening; we chatted about orchids & other stuff for a couple of hours.

As I didn't take any photos for a day or two here are few random once from the UK just thrown in!

The riverside walk in Horsham has a surprising historic WW2 installation-
a "Pillbox" in case of a German attack. Two thousand remain across the UK

A throw-back to the 1960's... Scooters

A "quaint" English country scene

Old, old letterbox

HE SAID:

Sometimes not doing much can make the time fly. Today was like that. The setting ourselves up in the house, washing, and catching up with things just used up the day. There were also a couple of long phone calls for me to make; long, as in 45 minutes on hold then 3 minutes of actually communicating. I also had about an hour’s chat with Uncle Paul in the late arvo, who seemed quite jolly, but is getting rather repetitive with an old story about a Kings Cross crime from 1975. He knew, or knew of, some of the players in the story of Juanita Nielsen’s disappearance from when he was a seaman and came ashore in Sydney, where he lived. I enjoyed our chat, as I usually do, but I hope that at nearly 91 years old all the marbles are where they are supposed to be.
