breeze .... a nice morning though still rather cool. I had a lie in, as did Super Pussy, who
joined me in the middle of the night;
now I’m ready for breakfast, and a cuppa. Then I’ll pack the gear into the car.
20.00 I had an enjoyable run from Auchnagatt; if anything it was too ‘warm’. Not a complaint that we Scots have cause to
use very often! I left ‘Backhill’ just
after lunch, and, twenty minutes later I
joined ‘Cone Alley’ which stretches from Ellon to Aberdeen, Even I had no problem with this. Aberdeen was, reasonably busy, but the traffic
was moving steadily. There are more
cones on the south side of Aberdeen.
All this is to do with the new bye-pass connections to the present road

network: i.e. where it leaves the old A90
south of Aberdeen, and rejoins it (the old A90), on the north side of Aberdeen. I arrived at Stracathro Services round
about 15.00, where I had a cuppa, and a goodie.
The
traffic round Dundee was quiet; everyone
will have been watching England v Panama in the world cup. I decided to stop at the southern end of
the bridge (Tay Road) and get a photo of the new V & A building; Scotland’s first design museum. It didn’t look very impressive from the
south side this afternoon, but the light was from the wrong angle by the time I
got there. I need to be there in the
morning light. Being a warm day I
bought myself a can of Fanta from the kiosk, and found an empty bench and
relaxed in

the sun. Actually I could
easily have fallen asleep.
I
arrived home at 17.20, put the kettle ‘on’, emptied, and then parked the
car. I am well ready for my Royal
Burrow’ tonight.
The
weather is forecast to be ‘sunny and warm’ tomorrow .... 22c is mentioned. This weather is to be with us for most of
the week. The first thing I’ll do tomorrow
is get a washing done. I need to go to
Leven tomorrow... or Tuesday.
