Early morning frost ....
13th
May 2020 (Wednesday) 06.30
.... The temperature is only
1c in the garden this morning.... and there’s a
brisk breeze so it feels like -2c; I’ll
let the sun get up a bit before going for the paper(s) this morning. IT looks like we are going to have a bonnie
day but cool in the wind. I’m having a
quiet day in the garden; not necessarily
working ... . looking at green things is the sort of ‘plan’ I have in
mind; that, drinking a few cuppas and
doing Soduko’s in the Hutte. yes I’m
having rest day today. There is one bush .... no... it will still be there tomorrow.
08.00 It is a beautiful morning and, once the
temperature rises (though it’s not forecast to rise very far ...with a high of
9c mentioned) it will be a nice day for being out in the fresh air. I took the car to go for the paper (and a punnet
of strawberries) and will go out on the bike later in the day.  |

12.30 Mmmmm .... I have been a super active boy
this morrrrning: I did some ‘ooverin’
and dustin’, and did a woollen wash (which included my snood). The snood is going to be used as a mask when
in shops etc. .... this is necessary now as it appears that the border (with
England) has moved to somewhere north of Elie and Earlsferry .... going by the construction noises I hear when
sitting in the Hutte. The ‘rools’ for
England changed this morning and
construction workers were encouraged to return to work (with safeguards(?).....
but not yet in Scotland. We live in
dangerous times.

I
have yet to go out for some exercise having been so active in Ivy.... but ‘plan’
to do that in the afternoon. The bike
battery isn’t full so I can’t go up to Balcarres or anything like that.
20.30 I had a grand peddle round the villages...
and Elie Estate this afternoon; on what was a cloudy and therefore cold
afternoon. I was surprised at how the bike
battery lasted .... it still had two bars (2/5ths) on it when I got back to Ivy. I saw
Eva, Irene and Ken up at Chapel Green but I didn’t linger long as the clouds
were
beginning to look threatening.
Having said that; we didn’t get
any rain .... and I can’t see Maggie’s seat from the third tee. I saw
Sally up in Elie Estate but didn’t realise it was her until I had passed; I can’t do quick turns on this bike, but I
suspect it's me that's the problem not the bike.

The
weather is supposed to be warmer tomorrow with the wind backing to the
West. I ‘plan’ to do a bit more in the
garden and the greenhouse before going out for a spell of exercise in the
afternoon.
