I Spoke Too Soon
Wednesday, August 30th, 2023 10:51 amYes, that's annoying!
When I last posted it was Bank Holiday Monday and I was suprised that we were having good weather. Great. But, it's back-fired on me. I have organised with my friend Christine to have a day out locally tomorrow, and guess what ... the weather forecast is not great! Oh well, I am going to a Church, and to a local stately home, so at least I will be indoors lots of the time. And, what's the bet, that the rain will only fall when I am between buildings! Oh well, I shall enjoy the visit anyway. The house is still privately owned (so am presuming I won't be able to take any indoor photos), and is only open a few days a year.
So this afternoon while at work, if there is a spare few moments, I shall look up the history of Redvers Buller as he was the most famous resident of the house. The Church also has a large and elaborate monument to him. He is buried in the Churchyard, so hopefully we shall find that grave as well.
So photos will come of the Church (I have already posted a few about a month ago, when I was grave cleaning for CWGC.
As I said, I am in work this afternoon. Yesterday I also did a short shift in the afternoon at the main reception (where I am this afternoon), but it was literally full-on. It's funny how working in the same space, on the same day of the week, yet the shift can change completely. I worked in the clinic in the morning ... another odd shift. We actually had one man turn up and tell us that he was annoyed he had received the appt as he didn't want it! My thoughts were that of wondering why he didn't just phone and cancel the appt, and save him the time and money of getting to the hospital. Oh well, at least the day went rapidly.
As I type this I am keeping an eye on that approaching rain, as I have hung washing out ... want to get it dry, if I can, but don't want it to end up even wetter than it was when I hung it out.
Right, I think that's the end of todays ramble. So I will close here with -
30 – Beach Day: Do you like going to the beach? When was the last time you were seaside?
I love the beach – and last year even went in swimming a couple of times. My last trip to the beach was here when I went with Ana & Lily for a local walk.
31 – We Love Memoirs Day: Do you?
Didn’t know the day existed - I suppose keeping a journal here at LJ, and reading your thoughts mean I like reading memoirs! When I am on holiday I have always kept a journal, and have started re-reading some of the early ones ... and Mum's of the same trips.
Right, see you Friday x
