Whoa

It was a cold one overnight. There was ice on the roof of the Orangery when the Gorse Fox came down. He wanted to get downstairs early enough to see Cousteau-Cub off to work and wish her good luck with the job-promotion application. We got chatting and lost track of time. In the end, she had to rush to get the bus.

The sun was up and it was bright and cold. Once we were all ready for the day, the Gorse Fox and Silver Vixen decided to go into LA for a walk. The logic was that we could park closer to the target coffee shop in LA than we could have in Bognor. We left the car and wandered along to the re-opened Look & Sea Centre. As we approached, the Gorse Fox spotted Barry (the peg and lucky heather seller*) so we stopped for a chat with him and his wife.

We went inside and grabbed a coffee and some carrot cake while watching the world go by and some clouds roll in and obliterate the sun.

After the coffee, we strolled along the river bank until the Silver Vixen decided that she should turn back to avoid getting stiff and cold. We had covered a couple of kilometres, but that was more than enough exercise on the new hip.

Back home the Gorse Fix has just installed macOS "Catalina" on the MacBook. He'll let this act as a testbed for a few days before rolling it onto "Condor" or the Silver Vixen's MacBook.

* The peg-seller or lucky-heather seller is football club banter for Barry because of his propensity to go travelling in his motorhome.
