Sunday was like chalk n cheese compared to Saturday, nice and sunny, light to moderate breeze, very nice day indeed.

Spent most of it doing much needed little chores again then off for a pleasant walk around the older and lower part of town. Crunchy underfoot, with odd patches of mud interspersed with the ice and frozen ground. The old dam has a skim of ice, this does not stop kids ridding their bikes on it, watched one kid take some serious looking falls.

With the fall back in time I was feeling a little mauzy myself by the end of the day. I had just fallen into a deep sleep when the phone rang at 11.30 or so.

Fran answered, the phone being on her side of the bed, and in a half sleepy voice mumbled some words and asked “who is this”.

Turned out it was a local resident calling to say our missing box of frozen chicken was at their home and could we pick it up. So I did.

Not so bad as the evening was warmish and clear, lots of vehicular traffic on road, most going down to the dock to pick up their freight.

In the fall of the year the freight boat unloads whenever it arrives, two years ago I was down at the dock in the early hours of the morning in the sleet and snow and slush of the lay down area.

I try to organize any freight coming in to get here no later than October, but best laid plans and all that.

Today is looking good too, though it is clouding over a bit.
