Yes, that’s the extent of my outing today, a little trot down to Jusaka and back.

And a miserable day it is too. Just when we had started to think that maybe – maybe – spring had finally come, one of those reversals, so common in our benighted British climate, occurred to punish us for our complacency.

The temperature has hiccupped down to 10° C (50° F) with a “feels like” value of 8° or 9°, because of the cloudy, damp conditions.

Tigger went out to do the weekly shopping while I occupied myself at home, thinking that today would be a stay-at-home day for me. That changed when I received a text from Tigger to say that she had made it as far as Jusaka but could go no further because the number of hands required to carry the coffee, together with the rest of the shopping, exceeded the number of hands actually available.

I therefore hurried along to Jusaka to increase hand availability from two to four. As it turned out, that was sufficient and even allowed a surplus of 25%. This was fortunate as there was a bit of a breeze blowing and the 25% came in useful for holding onto my hat!

Following my post An experiment, I have been busy editing old posts and republishing them on SilverTiger. One subscriber to that blog reported being inundated with notifications of new posts. I’m sorry about that but, if I am to carry out the plan, I need to catch the blog up to present times by posting past articles. There is no way round that. If subscribers find the influx of posts is too much to deal with, then unsubscribing temporarily may be the best solution.

If you feel like taking a look at my old blog as it emerges from suspended animation, use the link in the preceding paragraph. And if you feel like leaving a comment, even better!
