Annoying weather!

Day 44

Keith applied the draught excluder strips to Sophie's window first thing this morning, and when he'd finished I cleaned her windowsill which was covered in make-up! Let's hope that it works and cuts down on the draughts as well as the noises from outside, namely horses clip-clopping past!

We popped to Beckworth in the late morning and bought a chicken for our Sunday roast. We also asked one of the butchers whether they would be having the turkeys in for Easter, as we'd enjoyed ours so much at Christmas. He was not very communicative and blamed his lack of knowledge on Boris! Even if we remain in lockdown until Easter and beyond, surely we can still have a turkey?

Before going home we popped to the garage at Moulton so I could take my car through the carwash. It's filthy at the moment, covered in mud and salt, and I sorely needed to see it clean again! There were another two cars in the queue in front of us, all taking advantage of the mild, breezy, and sunny weather.

Once it was washed we drove home and I actually hung some pillowcases out on the line to dry rather than tumble dry them. I love the smell of air-dried bedding and feel bad that during the winter we rely on the tumble dryer so much. However, the minute, the literal minute I went back into the house, the sky clouded over and it started raining! Argghh! We went to get Mike so the car became dirty again, but thankfully not as bad as it had been! Typical!
