One Day More
More loose ends tied. Plenty still to be done. This morning it was damp, so I had to hang the laundry indoors, and turn the heating up to try to help get it dry. Some of it still isn't.
I made a quick shopping trip (on foot) around tea time, when the weather was, for a short while, almost bright. Then, when I got back home, I swept up the conkers and fallen leaves on the driveway. The garden bin is now even fuller. It does still just close, though. Any further leaf fall will have to wait a fortnight.
This evening I caught the GB2CW broadcast from Tollesbury (about 42 miles away) on 80 metres. Recently that's worked very well, but I often find I'm at the wrong sort of distance. Tonight the signal strength was excellent. The Morse sounded a bit choppy, though, as if, maybe, the key contacts weren't quite clean. I didn't do too badly, considering.
Tomorrow will be another busy day. Time for bed now.
