I woke up suddenly this morning and don't think my brain cells have got themselves into order yet!

I didn't have a very good day with my Tissot Seastar yesterday. The battery I had been waiting for arrived so I was about to fit it when I discovered that the winder had seized! I then lost a tiny screw for the battery clamp which went ping from my tweezers followed by another one ! I have looked on the floor but couldn't see them. I think I will try to make a sweeper using a steel rule and a magnet to see if They turn up.

Sun is currently shining which is contrary to the forecast.
Got an email that I definitely have a postal vote which appeared on my phone but has now vanished into the ether. Need to search for it as a reply of some sort is expected I think.
Bed is stripped so I have to do battle later with the duvet which is a job I hate. Either that or dig out an old sleeping bag which is not a good idea.

I ordered a couple of large cardboard boxes from IKEA, the sort you use when moving home. They came flat packed inside a larger cardboard package🤔

Good morning from a bright, sunny and warm Suffolk. Coffee has been had.

I just read that the longest day was yesterday not today. I feel short changed.

We lose one whole second today, seven seconds tomorrow.
Nights are drawing in.

Had the right knee operated on in '89. They marked the leg with a light reddish dye, then they noticed the left arm had already been marked/dyed. Explained it hadn't and that it was just a birthmark. So they wrote "This One!" on the leg, with an arrow pointing to the knee. Doesn't do much for you when there's a chance the surgeon doesn't know an arm from a leg.

A lovely sunny day in Pickering just waiting for the Whitby bus. Then off for a nice day at the seaside 😊

Kettle is on again. Just trying to decide where to go today.

I had a duff kidney removed and it was carefully marked out the previous day. Some unlucky soul a few years later and a different surgeon had his good kidney removed by mistake.

Vernon Kay's just had Sandy Powell on his show, and she didn't say "Can y' hear me mother?" once.

Possible BMW driver.

Sunny and hot, no gentle warm up this year to get acclimatised. More gardening before the mothership arrived to service the garden wheelie bin. Seem to have misplaced a gardening glove, wonder where that could have gone...
More washing hung out including a pair of grotty decorating etc jeans in the hope a few marks may have come out.

The knights are drawing in? Pencils, or quills?

Good job someone had the sense to buy a grave at the top of the Whitby steps. The times I’ve had to sit and wait for Mrs 73 to catch up. Thanks George Austen who says bishops have no use.

Nights are drawing in.

Only 160 shopping days left until Christmas, it'll soon be time to put the sprouts on.

The nights don’t start drawing in until Monday, mornings started drawing in last Monday.* Solstice was last night at 21.50

*For middle of Britain latitudes.
