Gorgeous day .....
14th
April 2016 (Thursday)
.....10.30 It’s a lovely morning for a
walk... “bright and sunny” though it’s beginning to cloud over now. I went out to West Bay, then home via “The
Boss’s Seat” and the beach ... a distance of 2.9 kilometres (1.8 mile); unusually, for me, I had my breakfast before
I went out... and was therefore
sluggish for the first kilometre. Not clever.

This
afternoon we have the ‘Drop in Cafe’ so any work I intend doing had better be
done in the morning.... which reminds me I’ll put a ‘washing ‘on’ ... it’s
supposed to be dry, all day. Happily
the ‘overcast’ bit has drifted somewhere
else.
21.30 What
a gorgeous day this has been .... I
might even have caught a touch of the sunburn thing.... having spent a lot of
the ‘day’ outside, either walking, biking or pottering around in the garden.
‘Work’
in the morning consisted of doing a washing, and a wee bit garden tidying. A
fter Jimmy and I had our morning cuppa, we
went up to Chapel Green to try out the Endomondo tracker app that Ian had
downloaded into Jimmy’s i-pad.
Unfortunately it didn’t manage to connect onto the GPS satellites so
couldn’t measure the distance walked.... which was the whole point of the
exercise. This was strange because my
i-phone connected to the satellites fine:
must be a different kind of aerial.

In
the afternoon I biked along to the ‘Drop in Cafe’, for our weekly catch up with
what’s going on in the four villages, and surrounding area. The total amount of Top Secret information
received = zero. I was disappointed by
this. I mean ‘something’ must have
happened during the past week? There is
a small (only tiny small) rumour, circumnavigating Kinneuchar... and Barnyards,
... that someone in the village had planted
Golden Wonder seed
potatoes! Let’s suppose that this event actually happened; we
would then be able to follow the progress of the Golden Wonders with weekly
updates. Finally, now that we’re on the
subject, there is absolutely nae truth in another rumour .... that the Golden Wonders are being protected by
two “Rottenvilers”.... I think that might be supposed to be Rottweiler's!

I’ve
had a really enjoyable day .... ‘bright and sunny’ makes a huge difference to
how a person feels, even though the wind is still from the nasty direction.
