Grey.

It's been warmer but grey and pretty damp all day. It was only as dusk grew nigh (as they say) that there was a break in the clouds and a hint of sun in the sky. And now it's raining again.

 

Nothing for it but to continue with the spring cleaning. Today I focussed on the shelves next to my computer desk. Most of the stuff there is in white storage tubs of various sizes with a few baskets thrown in for good measure. Putting things in the tubs gives the illusion of orderliness but some of them had been used for dumping all kinds of things from stationary items to tiny boxes and random magnets.

It was very unsettling to see everything spread out on the floor while the washed tubs were drying. A big sigh of relief now it's all back on the shelves.

I'm finding it easier to let go of things at the moment and a lot went either in the bin or in the charity shop pile. All that's left to do in this room are the three drawers of my filing cabinet which again have been used to hide things away.

In the afternoon I needed to get some milk from the shop and had a short walk on the beach to stretch my legs. While not raining it was very misty and wet so I didn't take my camera. 

Although I'm feeling much better this evening (aching a bit after Pilates) I decided not to go to choir. I was still coughing and spluttering this morning with a headache and that means I'm still infectious. There are a few people around my age in choir and several who have recently had or are still having treatment for cancer so I'm staying away. 

Last night all the street lights along the High Street were out but luckily not the ones up on the cliff. Only the street lights, not the houses as far as I could see. I'm wondering if it had anything to do with the workmen resurfacing a lane that runs off the High Street by the shop.
