Beautiful calm morning....
25th
May 2020 (Monday) 06.30 .... Beautiful start to what is
forecast to
be a ‘wall to wall bloo’ sky day;
I am having a cuppa before going out for the paper. This is a ‘play day’; after the gales of wind we all need one.
19.00 I have done awe bit of work today; I tidied up the rubbish that was in the
cupboard below the boiler..... it’s in the appropriate re-cycling buckets. The repairing of the boiler was done
quickly; it was yesterday morning that
it stopped working and only this morning that I phoned Charlie. I am a happy boy again.

10.00 It is an absolute cracker of a
morning. I’ve been round the villages, stopped
at the ‘paper shop’ for the paper (and rolls), then came home by way of the
estate. I am now well ready for breakfast; after I hang out the washing.
15.00 It has been a hectic morning; Charlie Pryde arrived to fix the central heating unit (a blocked pipe, and is coming back to remove the old gas fire in the living room. It is being replaced with an electric, “wood burning look”, fire: I did think of getting a new gas fire but gas is on the way ‘out’ so green electric it is.
The
washing is almost dry so I’ll have an ironing to do this evening. In the meantime I need to deliver some
bubble wrap to Dod in the Mackie Housing Complex. Oh.... we’ve had a bonnie day but not wall
to wall ‘bloo’ sky.15.00 It has been a hectic morning; Charlie Pryde arrived to fix the central heating unit (a blocked pipe, and is coming back to remove the old gas fire in the living room.

The
bubble wrap has been delivered and I took a few photos from the
Breakwater; I didn’t go out on the bike
again choosing instead to potter around the garden. Talking about the garden (to be accurate – ‘writing
about the garden’): Charlie asked me if
“the broon dog that had a walk round the
garden was mine” and I replied “nope”.... and promptly forgot about it. About an hour after Charlie went off to
another job I decided to have a cuppa .... in the Hutte. The side plate I had in the Hutte with the blackbirds
and Blobs biscuits was on the floor and
licked clean. That mutt had a real
snack; it had scoffed five Melting
Moments and three Digestive biscuits.
It was my fault as I’d forgotten to close the back gate. Somewhere in Earlsferry there’s one
contented dog tonight.
