Plan B

 Friday. 6.50 a.m. A rather dull, drizzly day. It can only improve. Digital thermometer reads 23ºC.

Saturday. 6.30 a.m. I'm sorry to say, the weather hasn't got any better. A rather dull and overcast morning and more drizzle. Thin and pathetic rain.

9.35 a.m. It would appear that the infamous scooter stores are in use! I have been following this saga for the past couple of years, and what a never ending saga it has been. I have seen Dexter residents on their electric scooters riding along the beautifully tarmacked paths, so I assume they can get out onto the path through the side gate into Strudwick Drive. How long has this been going on? I will have to look back at earlier posts on here to discover. I would say, probably four years, give or take a year.

I have sorted my recycling. What excitement! The problem you get, when you buy anything online, from Amazon (other online retailers are available.) is dealing with the packaging your purchases come in. Not just the box, envelope or whatever it comes in, but often the material which keeps the product from moving around in the package, usually bubble wrap or chips of some sort or other. So, quite a bit to break up and take to the bin store. We now have a new system for sorting recycling. Unrecallable stuff goes in one bin, the rest goes in the other. No sorting out cardboard, plastic, metal and glass. It's far easier than the old system.

4.50 p.m. A very black sky, which must surely mean we're in for a rainstorm. I do hope it more forceful than the pathetic thin drizzle we've had for the past day or two.  

8.55 p.m. We got rain. It has continued for most of the evening. It was relatively heavy. I don't dislike rain, in fact, I quite enjoy thunderstorms, but this isn't going to turn into one.

Sunday. 7.15 a.m. A bright and far sunnier morning. The digital thermometer currently reads 23ºc.

We had to endure the fire alarms going off mid-morning. Really ear-splitting and enough to erase your memory. Some people shouldn't be allowed to play with matches.

There is a print-out of photographs at the entrance, of people who mustn't be allowed to enter Dexter House. It makes me think of those 'wanted' criminals who are wanted by the police. These people must not be let in. So, how are we supposed to recognize them? I don't think I would want to challenge any of this motley crew. Above all else, what have they done to be put on this list? I imagine some of them might be aggressive if they don't get what they want. It doesn't bear thinking about, quite frankly.
