U.K. Duty Visit - Day 9
Another day of universally gray skies, although there was some brightness out over the sea in the morning, and actual precipitation was limited to drizzle during the mid-day hours. The cold continues into the tedious stage, much worse on first arising than during the rest of the day.
We largely took a break from our sifting & sorting activities today, electing to take a decently long and reasonably brisk walk along the sea front, the cliff-top areas being suspected of being too mucky after the snowmelt, drizzles & absence of either sun or a decent drying breeze. I made a couple of “photo-ops” to be sure there was some record of us here. After judicious cropping a few of them seemed to be good enough to upload to Flickr. Even more than usual there were a lot of phone calls made & received.
Once back suitably weary, Pam cooked our roast pork lunch, including roast potatoes & roast parsnips, along with more colorful boiled vegetables. The meal was delicious. After we were done & had cleaned up – we do miss our dishwasher machines, disposals, and even mixer taps (faucets) – we headed out again.
We spent our afternoon with Mum-Mum, who was a little less perky than yesterday having reached the 3-day mark after the operation, with which Pam sympathizes, & we assume a reduction in strength of medications. However she was delighted we were there, and having her traditional Sunday crossword with us the time passed quite well. We eventually returned to the flat & have no further ambitions for today.
