Breezy ....
1st November 2020 (Sunday) 07.30 .... although raining just now, the
forecast is for us to have ‘sunny intervals and a fresh breeze’, by mid morning .... much the same as yesterday though slightly less windy. I’m going to take the car up for the paper, take a turn down to the harbour, then back to Ivy for breakfast.
09.00 We had a light shower o’ rain at the
harbour but otherwise a ‘bright and breezy’ start to the day. The
partial rainbow certainly brightened the sky up; and I remembered to go for the paper. I am ready for breakfast now before sorting
out the living room.
18.00 It has been a wet(ish) afternoon at times
but I managed to get the bit I needed to make to finished the fireplace done in
the morning (outside work); so that job
is finished .... ready for the new fire which go in place once the paint has
hardened.
The afternoon passed quickly ..... after I found, and watched, ‘Jane Eyre’ on one of the TV channels. I have the book, and it’s a long time since I read it, so it will be my bedtime reading next.
It’s not going to be quite so windy tomorrow so I ought to get out on the bike for exercise..... I think Wednesday could be the day I try for Balcarres. I could go to Balcarres easy enough in the car but that doesn’t involve much exercise... unless I moor
the car at North Lodge and walk down the den. Yes .... I might do that, if it’s too windy for the bike this week ... it’s always sheltered in the den.
I
like the local ENT kirk service online;
and I like our new Minister.
This is a safe way to ‘go to the kirk’, as things are at present, and I
am comfortable sitting at home, feeling that I am there, in the kirk. I short pan round the ‘congregation’ would
enhance that feeling of ‘being there’ on the day. Oh .... and I can sing as loud as I
want; much louder than when I’m in ‘my
gallery’.
