A slightly milder and sunny start to the day, but it clouded over later on. Clare went off to her study group, and I did the week's hoovering, hung out the washing, and cooked lunch in time for her return. A message from my good friend Roy Thomas, who's back from Madrid where he now lives, for business meetings to do for a South Wales green energy project for which he's handling public relations. He proposed to meet somewhere for coffee. As I was preparing to make a paella, I invited him to come for lunch instead, so we had a good three hours catching up over a meal, which was a pleasant surprise.
After we parted company, I walked in Llandaff Fields, came home to use the toilet, then went out again to walk in Thompson's Park. But this time it was getting dark, but it didn't prevent Fiona, one of the Fountain Singers, from recognising me as she walked in the park, waiting for her son to finish a drama workshop at Llanover Hall. We chatted until we both began to feel the cold, then continued our course. Clare was out at meditation group when I returned. I emptied the dishwasher, had supper and paid the window cleaner his dues when he came to collect.
After supper, I watched another entertaining episode of 'Astrid - Murder in Paris' before an early night. I've noticed recently that the earlier sunrise is causing me to wake up earlier, but tend to go back to sleep with the radio on and try to get a full seven and half hours sleep to last the day without dozing off and losing an hour of daylight in the winter. Early to bed early to rise until the clocks go forward in six week time seems to make good sense.
