Breakfast

Well I had a very good nights sleep last night, it was a lot cooler last night so that helped also I was out for 3+ hours yesterday as well in the fresh air and was walking with the wheelchair for about an hour, anyway went to bed about 11.00 and woke about 6.30 so that was good, stayed dozing until 8.00 them made a move into the lounge with a coffee to wait for Jo the carer to arrive. Jo came at 8.30 and got be sorted and then was off to her next client so I got some " Fruit and Fibre for Breakfast and then sent the morning text to Pauline.

Pauline phones back and she is out on the common with Misty, which is an appropriate name for today as though it is cooler today and the skies are blue and the sun is shining down on the seafront it is a different story, Pauline said that she is on the common but cannot see the war memorial as it is very misty, you can see this by the Photo from the live web cam at Portsmouth harbour

Portsmouth Harbour at 9.00 am today

Well the Mist is lifting now and the blue skies and Sun are appearing from behind the clouds which is a good thing as today there is a fly past by over HMS Illustrious at Portsmouth Dockyard to celebrate its 30th Birthday, its non stop fun here in Portsmouth. Lady Sarah Chatto, Daughter of the late Princess Margaret inspected the guard of honour.

The time is now approaching 4.30 and it is time to pack up the computer and get ready for Pointless on BBC1 at %.15 and then dinner at 6.30. Tonight I am having a nice Rainbow trout fillet with Jersey Royal new Potato,s and cauliflower and broccoli in a nice Cheese Sauce, all freshly cooked. I am looking forward to that and then a nice evening in front of the TV. The Olympic torch is still being greeted by huge crowds as it makes its way towards Stoke on trent with large crowds in Ironbridge.
