The temperature is dropping this week and there is even snow possibly forecast, though hopefully not much.  We’ve just started our last round bale of hay, so I decided to go to town to fetch another.  I like to have a spare hay bale especially this time of year otherwise  I like awake at night and worry about this sort of thing.

I did a brief supermarket shop too and then onto the street for a quick shufty just because it feels like I haven’t been out and about for a very long time and there might be something new around.

There wasn’t.

Still the same stuff and the place was deserted.  I got the feeling everyone is just preparing themselves for the oncoming cruise ship arrival.

I got home at lunch-time, said hello to those that had missed me and unloaded the van.

Then I spent the afternoon doing all the chores I had completely failed to do yesterday because the weather was so vile (a cold wind and endless rain).  The old ladies were around offering help and getting in the way.  I had to bribe them to leave with an early tea.

Luckily, the little boys were’nt about.  They remained in their field.  They are never allowed to help.  They wouldn’t know how and it most definitely wouldn’t be helpful, either.
