Cracker of a morning ....
14th
May 2018 (Monday)
.... 09.30 It’s an absolute cracker of
a morning,
and ‘The Boy’ has been busy since dawn cracked. I’ve been round the block on the bike, and
will have to reset the rear derailleur gears;
which I’ll do after I hang out a
washing. It’s not the best of drying
days as there isn’t much wind, but a breeze is forecast for later.

I
don’t know where the time goes; having
been up, and active, at 05.30, and feeling that I haven’t done anything ....
yet I haven’t stopped. Well I have
now; to update the Hutte.... and have a
coffee. I intend going round the
villages on the bike once I get the gears set. Finding instructions online was easy; but finding ones that allowed you to print
said instructions off was harder. Must
‘go’ ... ‘slight flap on’.... it’s a bonnie day and I want to do more ‘things’.

21.30 It has been a perfect day for doing ‘things’....
and I have taken advantage of that. The
bike is fixed.... and I went up to Chapel Green and had a long rest on The Boss’s
seat. The Green was busy with folk out
enjoying the sunshine.... it has been a most pleasant day. It was while I was resting that I decided
that I’d do some work around Ivy; and
that is what I did, more or less all day.
First of all the bike needed some tweaking.... it might need a few more
slight adjustments .... but the major work had been done.
In
the hottest part of the afternoon (it was 21c in Ivy garden) I did a couple of
Soduko’s in the Hutte, before pruning an overgrown cotoneaster. The next job was replacing one of The Hutte
window sills. That was a job that I
really enjoyed doing. ... and it took a wee bit of time. I might start painting The Hutte
tomorrow; the weather forecast is good for the next few
days. I’d better see how much paint I
have. It’s a popular colour (Forest
Green) so it will be easy enough to get.
It
did turn out to be a good ‘drying day’.... and the washing is now ready to
iron. In fact I will do that (the
ironing) before I go to bed. Before I
do that I’m going to daunder down to the beach.
There
must be a few holiday makers here, because the beach was busier than I’d
expected it to be. It is a beautiful
evening, and our beach is the place to go for a quiet stroll.... I didn’t get
near enough to talk to anyone, but I did meet a friendly dog, that was really
enjoying the beach.

This
happy bunny will be dragging some weary muscles into his ‘burrow’ tonight; but I
have enjoyed doing ‘things’. I intend doing ‘more of the same’
tomorrow: after I come back from the
surgery. I have an appointment to see
about my knee.
The
ironing has been put orf until tomorrow.
