After the Lord Mayor's Show ...

... comes the dust cart. And after yesterday's shenanigans it is time for me to return to more domestic matters.

It is a glorious day here; a blue sky, the sun shining with a little welcome warmth in it. The flooring for the bathroom and toilet finally arrived yesterday. Actually, it had arrived earlier but the store forgot to ring me. Anyway, I have now laid the flooring in the bathroom. The toilet will have to wait until it has been painted. I should say, RE-painted, since we have done it but don't like the paint. The colour is OK, but the finish is appalling. I have been and bought some new paint today in a gloss finish instead of the satin that we used.

The cricket club have at long last come up with their figures for the fireworks display last November. The total profit was just under £29,000 — down from £34,000 in 2007 — of which Brighton Lions keep half. Not a bad result considering the economic climate.

Can you imagine the mess if the weather had been warmer and everyone had stayed to the end?

Well done n the fireworks profit.

Oh, and it's far from glorious here. Worse, it is only overcast with little prospects for rain. It's a shame to waste clouds when we're in the midst of what seems to be a drought.

Not so glorious today. It started raining yesterday evening and stopped about lunch time. You would be welcome to have some, or even most of it.
