.... 09.00 Oh my word .... this is not going to be a ‘good
hair day’; it wouldn’t be so bad if it was just raining
but it’s “dreich”;

definitely not a good
day for being ‘out and about’.... unless wrapped up in a car. I am looking forward to tea, ‘goodies’, and
conversation, at the Coffee Morning; and to buying some homemade baking.... and books
for bed time reading. Right now I’d better go out and feed ‘Blob and
Co’.
21.30 The sun eventually ‘broke through’ at
17.40 and we’ve had a lovely evening;
this was the first time that I have been able to go out on the bike today. Although it has been mostly dull and wet I
have had an enjoyable day: the Coffee
Morning was everything needed we needed
to brighten up a dull and wet morning, ... and had everything I wanted; tea/ biscuits, good conversation... gingerbread (the gingerbread is scrumptious
- Jimmy and I have a couple of slices
with our afternoon cuppa in the Hutte), little chocolate goodies with ginger in
them ... and bedtime books. I bought

two raffle tickets hoping to win a box of Maltesers... but didn’t. I was telling Sheila and Elinor how I used
to buy a box of Maltesers (from RS McColl the wee sweetie shop at the Regent
(Leven) ... cost 1/6d (7.5p in today’s
money), when Maggie and I were ‘coortin’, ..... and going to the pictures on a Saturday
evening. Amanda, Sheila’s daughter,
won the Maltesers and gave them to me.... because of the ‘romantic’ thing I imagine. My intention is to have one Malteser every
evening with my Horlicks .... that should give me a really peaceful, and deep
sleep. Thank you Amanda: that was really nice, and much
appreciated.
As
I mentioned above I went out on the bike in the early part of the evening; only down to the harbour then back along the
villages and out to Chapel Green: from
Chapel Green to the Harbour takes in the whole length of the villages. I managed to

get caught in a shower but it
didn’t last very long: long enough to
get some ‘showers’ photos.
Jimmy
wants to go someplace in the car tomorrow if the weather is reasonable... we’ll
decide what to do in the morning. At
some point we’ll go down to the harbour and enjoy a cuppa in “Lorraine’s Place”....
in fact that is probably where we will spend the afternoon!
