Lovely morning ....
15th January 2023 (Sunday) 08.00....A touch of frost has come in with the
rising sun, but that will go once the sun is up; it’s going to be a bonnie day, albeit a cool one: There’s a light breeze so there’s a few degrees of wind chill.
17.30 It has been a bonnie day... but chilly. First thing after breakfast I went to Leven
to do a shopping... then to Alice’s for morning tea and to drop off a couple of
books. The roads were quiet and I
enjoyed driving... the main problem being; having
to keep looking out for potholes. On mentioning potholes: Henry Cole, who has a regular motor bike programme
“The World’s Greatest Motorcycle Rides” was having a look back at some of his journeys
the other night and what made a particular country especially memorable. New Zealand came out way on top for the
quality of its roads. One of the first
things I noticed in New Zealand was the
high standard of road surface; that and the
crystal clear blue of their sky! This got
me thinking... how does a country, with a population less than Scotland, manage
to keep their toads in such good condition?
I came to the conclusion that they don’t have any grandiose ideas of
being a world dominating power; and don’t
spend waste their money on nuclear
Trident Missile Delivery submarines. “The
World’s Greatest Motorcycle Rides” is an interesting programme and well worth
watching; and Henry Cole a good
presenter.
23.30 I’ve been watching a programme about ‘Who Owns Scotland’; an interesting (and sometimes shocking)hour it was.... but it has made me late in getting to bed. It must have been interesting right enough!
Frost
is forecast for tonight .... followed by a bonnie, but slightly cold, day
tomorrow. I have ‘nae plan’ though I
might do a washing if the frost lifts quickly. I’d better get orf to bed; I could be having a ‘sleep in’ tomorrow morning.
