Happy Christmas from Jane - 9-12-2015


Someone has e-mailed me asking what is the third often asked question that I referred to a few blogs ago, thanking me for the first two that I have now answered. I'll have to give some thought to that third one– not sure which one I had in mind at the time.

Meanwhile, yet another has e-mailed me saying he was surprised that I had as many as five offers of help in one morning of blind-simming. He very rarely has any, he says. Being a woman, no longer young, probably accounts for my offers. Shall I follow up his suggestion that I briefly describe the offers (all from women as I think I mentioned before)?

I'm not doing much in the way of outdoor activities nowadays. Here winter is setting in. Rain forecasts together with high winds and cold temperatures don't encourage me out and I've heard nothing from my bird-watching guide since he went to Australia at beginning of the year. We have each other's mobile* phone numbers (* 'cell' phone in US, I think?) and I've tried his from time to time and it doesn't even ring, presumably he's got another one for some reason (lost or stolen perhaps?) and he hasn't left any messages on mine. So that looks like the end of that contact and the outings, worse luck.

My brother Chris volunteers to take me to Eastbourne when he has morning meetings and leave me to my own devices blindsimming while he attends to business so, if I get the urge, I might take him up on the offer. He always his lunch with his work-mates there, so I would have to hang about for quite some time. Perhaps I could collect offers of help and report back!?

As nothing much happens on Wednesday mornings these days, for the sake of newer readers, I'll describe my Friday routine in a little more detail than in our website. Next time -after Christmas holiday that is.

Meanwhile, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Jane.
