Feeling brighter ....
11th
June 2017 (Sunday)
.... 08.30 Hmmmm ....I feel ‘brighter’,
but I’m not going to Church, because I have a horrid cough, and can’t risk
having a ‘coughing
spasm’ in the Kirk.
At least the coughing is clearing my ‘airways’ so I do feel mair ‘positive’
this morning. I’ll go for a walk in
the fresh air; that said, the sky is
heavily overcast and looks like it’s going to rain. It had better be a short walk.

12.30 There
is much happening on the beach ; sand
castles being built, kite flown, joggers, walkers, with and without dogs .... a
busy and relaxing scene. I made my way along the edge of the tide, all the way
along to School Wynd... then retraced my steps when a few spits and spots of
rain fell. It, the rain, never came to anything, and we have a ‘mostly
bright and sunny’ day now, but there is a ‘showery’ look to the sky.
This
time yesterday I had a headache with coughing, but my airways are clearing better today, and .... no headache: I’m hoping that I am finally getting rid of
this virus.

19.00 This
has been a restful day for me; though I
did have a decent walk in the morning.
We had some blustery showers in the afternoon, so I pottered around Ivy,
watched the ‘News’ (mostly about the General Election), and had ‘50’. I must have been sound asleep because Jimmy
phoned to tell me that he’d been along in the afternoon and rang the doorbell
but I never heard it. He had spent most
of his afternoon down at the Sailing Club, where he picked up loads of ‘exciting
information’.... but has forgotten it. This is good ... and another advantage of
growing old .... you can hear the same ‘news’ three times and it’s ‘new’ each time. I wonder ....when a goldfish is swimming
round a bowl; does it think it’s crossing a huge lake?
It
looks like late evening time is going to be the best part of the day again; if so I’ll go for a walk. The ‘heavy showers’ are still rattling
over, but we do get spells of blue
sky in between: what I want is a long spell of blue sky....
like 6 weeks... long enough to be called “Summer”.

I’m
having another early night tonight... and I’ll have a ‘Janice Toddie’
tonight: I forgot to have one last
night. The book I’m reading is one of
those ‘can’t put it down’ kind; which
is why I forgot the toddie last night.
