19th
May 2020 (Tuesday) 09.00 .... we have rather damp morning...
 |
| Damp looking Earlsferry High Street. |
everything is hinging wi’ water though it isn’t actually raining. I
didn’t go up for the paper earlier, (though I was up) choosing to pick it, the
paper, up when the sun breaks through later in the morning. The Ferry High street is wearing has a ‘bad
hair day’ look this morning.... and so is the garden. But not me.
19.00 We have had another bonnie day... and for
me a busy one. I went for the paper
after Myra phoned (10.30) his morning (Myra checks that ‘her boys’ are alright
every morning). I was on the bike then
remembered that I needed milk, but discovered that I can carry a 2 litre
container ‘nae bother’ in the bike carrier.
I was planning to make macaroni cheese which is why the milk was vital. In fact I started on the macaroni cheese as
soon as I got back home. I ended up with
three meals for the freezer.... having devoured one for lunch, putting one in
the fridge for tomorrow and three for the freezer. I then had a a short walk on the beach.... followed by a
long ‘50’ in the Hutte.
I
semi watched a film with Tommy Steele in it in the afternoon but eventually gave
up and went out on the bike for bumble up to Chapel Green and out to the 11th
tee.

| Elie Bay this morning. |
Margaret (Lambie) was out that
way for her exercise walk so we had a long chat. I was saying to her that all the ladies are
looking very school girlish with their long hair; who needs hair stylists!
21.30 I feel in the mood for some kind of ‘adventure’; just a small one.... like going to Balcarres
on the bike. The bike has a fully
charged battery and the weather forecast is good for tomorrow and Thursday. I’ll see how I feel and how the weather
actually is. Balcarres will be looking beautiful with fresh
greens everywhere.
On
my way back from Chapel Green I met Barbara and Alistair on their way home
 |
| Bunker by the 11th green. |
from
their exercise walk.... this is the first time seeing them since the lockdown
thing began. They are both looking well
with all the exercising but missing the social aspect of the ‘old normal’; and not very sure as to what the ‘new normal’
might turn out to be. I’ve talked to
lots of folk today so I am a contented boy tonight.
