Peaceful morning ....
7th
April 2020 (Tuesday) 06.30
....it’s a peaceful morning; there’s hardly
a breath of wind, very few
clouds and very peaceful. I’m going to
bike along to Elie for the paper it’s that kind o’ mornin’....though it is cool
because the sun has yet to appear above the horizon. It looks like we are going to have a lovely
day but not as warm as down south in Sunny Sussex where it's going to be 23c ... we are going to be
10 degrees cooler.

| Sunrise - Elie High Street. |
09.00 It is a beautiful morning; I biked to Elie for the paper, hung out a
washing and will wash the kitchen, bathroom and lobby floors immediately after
this update. When I came back from Elie I unloaded the bike
bag (bought bananas) then went to Chapel Green. I met a number of folks enjoying the early
morning with their dogs. I’ll go for a
run on the bike after I do the floors then settle down for the day in Ivy
garden.

| Pleasant morning for a walk. |
21.30 At last we have had a really lovely sunny
and warm day; one of those kind of days
when you want to do stuff. As per usual
I did do stuff and I feel tired but contented tonight. I did the floors, cleaned the windows (outside) and went out on the bike and even did some
gardening. It’s really brilliant being
able to bike freely all round the villages .... and I went through Elie Estate
on the way home. There’s one gate that
you have to open and the folks in the lodge have a bottle of disinfectant that
you spray onto the handle after you’ve opened and closed the gate. Good thinking. There was a lot of people out walking and
biking .... enjoying the sun. Want to
stop and talk to people but of course it’s really best if you just say “Hello”
and bumble on.
A
few days ago the government announced that they would be contacting every
household in the UK (by mail) with guidance
on what we need to do at this time;
my one arrived today, It’s a
factual leaflet (with an accompanying letter) about what we all have to do to “Protect
the NHS and save lives”. The accompanying letter was signed by ‘Boris”.....
well the original was signed by “Boris”.
Actually I think he must have signed it in his hospital bed.... his
writing is worse than mine! “Boris”
being in intensive care with COVID-19 seems to have awakened everybody to the
reality of this pandemic. I’m not a fan
of his but I wish him a speedy recovery and will be happy to see him blundering
about again.

| Balcarres Crag. When will I get up there again? |
Tomorrow
is forecast to be much the same as today so I will most likely be in the mood
to get some more work done; with ‘time
out’ for playing!
