I didn’t sleep that well. I will be glad to get back to more regular swimming again. Today was Art Day when I have to be in Newbury by 10.00, so I did not dilly dally in bed. The weather was much better. It has been dry all day but also dull.
I managed to get little H out for a quick run on the local Rec before departing and before the self-entitled private school parents ensconced themselves there, to chat and let their dogs defile our Rec.
The drive to Newbury was without incident. And I was at the Base in good time; there was even plenty of parking. Probably something to do with roadworks going on outside, and various diversions in place.
The class was quite interesting although the video I managed to dig up of a bee among snowdrops was out of focus. However, it allowed me to make a good mess of the tasks we were set. And I ran away home at the end of the session.
And before long, I was safely back home again after buying some tomatoes in Goring Tesco Express. Thanks to the Cholsey one having given up the ghost and rolled over for a three week refit.
Once home, I dug some left overs out of the recesses of the fridge, microwaved them, ate them, fell asleep and woke up again.
It was the squeak that woke me. Torture to my ears. The fire alarm telling me its batteries need replacing. So the other one will soon join in the chorus as they work in tandem. The batteries are non-standard, standard ones and will require a special trip to somewhere where I can be sure sells them. Screwfix probably rather than a supermarket. Or Goring Hardware maybe.
And then I need a man who can. Aka fire alarm battery technician. I need height as well as a talent for such a job. Us females don’t usually have the height.
Later…
The squeak seems to have worn itself out or put itself to bed. I must remember to buy the batteries.
I ordered two croissants for my breakfast, with a decaf Americano. In my dream. As I cruised over the open sea in warm sunshine. And contemplated whether to head for the sun deck or the hairdresser. Dream on. I was doing alright – shame I woke up and spoilt everything.
