In a frolicsome mood ....
27th
April 2020 (Monday) 06.30 .... there’s a chill in the early
morning
air but it’s a lovely morning though cauld on the hands and lugs. There’ s a good chance of showers in the
afternoon so I’m wonder about doing any painting; I’ll see how the air is once the sun gets
going. I don’t start painting until
after 10.00.

‘M’
was telling me that they (New Zealand) are going down from Level 4 to Level 3
lockdown restrictions today; but not
for the over 70’s. The, New Zealand
government worked with the scientists and did as they suggested. Travel was banned except for essential
journeys (roadblocks set up outside the cities) from day one. They don’t have the population that we have
that’s true but they do have a competent and compassionate Prime Minister....
and government!
10.00 Welll.... I’ve been for the paper and,
with it being such a cracker of a morning I did Elie Estate on the way
home. As is my routine I stopped at the
boathouse to get a few photos: I was
packing up to go when out of the blue I heard a voice.... it was lady walking
her dog. I had drifted off... I was up
on Balcarres in my mind .... so got a real start. It
was braw talking to her because we are missing the
chatting of normal times in
Harbour House. I enjoyed talking to
her; that’s one thing about our ‘neck of
the woods’, we have a lot of nice folks
around.

16.00 Luckily I decided not to paint this
afternoon because we did catch the edge of a couple of showers. It has been a bonnie day with loads of
showers clouds around in the morning;
unfortunately it a few of them developed into showers; and the air turned colder as well as
wet. I’d gone out on the bike for a
quick turn up to Chapel Green before the showers so I’ve had a fair amount of
exercise today.
I
met Dorothy and we chatted: Talking to
two folk on the one day? ....I am a happy bunny.
19.00 It has turned considerably colder since
the showers came over so I am now
ensconced in Ivy for the night.... in front
of the computer. Sunny intervals
with a light wind from the East is the forecast for tomorrow and it isn’t going
to be very warm.... but at least showers are not mentioned.
