Productive mood ....
5th
September 2018 Wednesday)
.... 07.00 There’s a slight mist this
morning, but the forecast is for long sunny spells in the morning,....with the chance
of a shower later in the afternoon; this could be a good painting day, and I’m
feeling productive ... wellll... reasonably productive.... my ‘knee bone’ feels
like it’s connected to my ‘butt bone’.

20.30 I may have ‘felt productive’ but ... ‘feeling’ never materialized into ‘being’. In the morning I went for the paper, had
coffee with George and Geoff (Myra and Jim are spending a few ‘romantic’ days
in the Borders. From Harbour House I
went to St Monans to see what was happening there. Two creel boats came into the harbour, and
a few men were fishing off the end of the east pier; apart from that St Monans was quiet. By this time it was a sunny and warm day
.... after the mist/fog of the early morning.

After
lunch I set myself up to do some painting.... it was a perfect day for it. I then felt guilty about the cistern, and
phoned a plumber; who is coming to
finish the cistern tomorrow afternoon.
I no longer felt guilty... but I
do feel ‘older’; as I now realised than yet something else was
beyond my arthritic fingers. I did a
Soduko in the Hutte. George arrived
in mid afternoon, closely followed by Elizabeth. Elizabeth brought a Memorial Book, that
Robert, her son-in- law had made, containing photographs of Sapper. The book is astonishing, and a brilliant
tribute to Sapper who was one lovely, .... and a sadly missed dog.
I
never did get the paint brush dipped into the paint; so the shed will have to wait for another
day. I tidied up all the preparations
I’d made for painting, and retired to Ivy:
by this time the sky was clouding over, and it was turning cooler. I am a delicate boy!
It’s
going to be cooler tomorrow: “tomorrow”?
.... it already is cooler. Anyway,
tomorrow is forecast to be cooler with sunny spells and a good chance of
showers. It doesn’t look like tomorrow
will be a shed painting day.

“JB”
is coming up to paint the front of .... oops .... for a holiday on the 4th
October. I will pick him up at
Ferrytoll park and ride; there are loads
of regular buses from the airport to Ferrytoll:
and I might cause chaos if I went to the airport.
You
know I feel quite relaxed tonight; not
having to worry about the cistern. I’m
beginning to realise that oldness comes with limitations!
