On Sunday Maureen came down to see me in Brighton, which was really lovely. It has been over a year ago I last saw her in BP and her company was saving me from loneliness. We went to the Basketmakers for lunch, then walked about a bit and did some shoe shopping, followed by a rather rainy and windswept meander to the Pier. As you can see in the photos the sea was choppy, we saw some one armed bandits, then had a cake and tea in the restaurant at the end of the Pier, met Iggle Piggle en route and then returned to the Railway Station for Maureen's trip back home. I shopped for some food in the Tesco Express and went home to cook. I had a microwave prawn curry with rice, which was delicious.
On Monday I posted the toys to Callum, bought my bus ticket back to the airport and in the evening had dinner at Mary's who was a colleague at Stringer some years ago. It was very nice to see her again after all these years. Monday was another sunny day, which made a change from the blustery Sunday, but it wasn't cold even on that day. The flight on Tuesday was uneventful and now it is winter again with a bit of snow, which is a bummer as we were hoping to bring the car back at the end of the week. At the end of February the orienteering season starts, so let us hope winter lets up and I won't need a lift from somebody else.
Tomorrow we are having dinner with Andris and Maria, followed by two concerts on the Saturday. Schubert is one of my favourites, so I am looking forward to it.
