Good morning from Bristol. I haven’t looked out but think it’s cold at 4C rising to 7C by mid afternoon. It’s colder than most of last winter.
The residents’ coffee mornings for was interesting. It was attended by mostly men - 5 of the 8 here! They enjoyed the cake I’d already made for the FAB cafe.
At least one man came to meet the new manager. He didn’t turn up until very late and most people had left. I didn’t get a very good impression of him; taciturn and didn’t appear to be a people person…. Hard to say, but I don’t think he’ll last the probation period.
The book group was interesting. I found the book fascinating, full of information about Istanbul in the late XVIc. Most people said they enjoyed it but… it was too long, it had too many characters, too many “foreign names” (what did they expect?), too many people whose name started with “S”!,etc.
The rest of the day was quiet, spent reading or knitting my new Scandi fair isle yoke jumper.
Today, just t’ai chi. Not going to DD’s to dinner because they are too busy.
I trust the the sick bay is emptying and that everyone has a quiet day.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
