Sunday.

Those of you with sharp eyes will realise that is is not Monday. No, on Monday I am travelling back to Denmark, and so will be unable to blog, so here I am on Sunday night, writing instead.

Morning dawned later than of late, mainly because it was the very first day of British Summer Time, or daylight saving time if you like, and so the clocks go forward, and we get an hour less in bed, which we will only get back at the end of October. It means darker mornings, if only for a few weeks, and much later evenings, which now means we can walk or garden until after seven. Unless we are in some other country apart from being at home of course.

It was due to rain all day. Which it did pretty much. And with there being no football to watch on this first dark morning of Spring, I made coffee, bacon butties and played some music on the hifi. All good stuff.

Time passed, we got a little stir crazy; Jools went outside to do some gardening. I listened to the radio, prepared lunch, and the day went by, with the rain falling from the sky, not heavy, but being blown around by the wind.

After dinner of cold sausage rolls, we went to Dad's to look at his brand new chickens. He has given over a small, very small, area of his garden to a run with 5 chickens. After two days he already has had eight eggs, and there is promise of some for us by the weekend.

We take our leave, and go back to the garage for more form signing, and the dead is done. The car is ours, or will be at 14.00 on Thursday.



We go back home to have coffee and cookies to celebrate.

I watch Brasil v Chile on TV. It is a hard watch as there is hard tackling, and much play-acting. Time passes and the afternoon passes into, well, late afternoon. It is still light at six. I cook steak and sautee potatoes for dinner, with which I opened the final bottle of Presidents XV, which was just perfect.

I have packed, shaved, showered, checked in online, and all ready for another trip to Denmark tomorrow.

I will be back on Wednesday, otherwise I will be stuck there all over Easter.

See you then.
