Cold, bright day ....
22nd
April 2016 (Friday)
.... 09.00 Oh my word .... bring back the warm hot days ....
it’s freezin’ this mornin’. Although
it is mostly a ‘bright and sunny
morning’, there is a, very brisk, cold North
wind, which is driving loads of fluffy clouds over, blotting out the sun at
regular intervals ; the temperature in
Ivy garden will be considerably lower than it has been for the past few
days. However the Hutte heats up
quickly ....! I had intended getting
the bike out, but I’ll leave that until the afternoon in the hope that the wind
drops.

21.30 The bike never left the shed today... it
was a bit too windy and cold for me.
Jim and Myra were going to Leven this morning, so I ended up going along
for a wee bit of shopping and a coffee in Sainsbury’s Cafe. It made for a pleasant morning; it’s more pleasurable going shopping with
somebody, than doing it on your own;
having said that, I usually end up chatting to someone when I’m in the
shops.

Jimmy
came along in the afternoon; his i-pad
has partially disabled itself, because it needs the correct pass word to
‘open’. Hopefully Jimmy’s Ian will
have the correct password; Jimmy is
along at Gill and Ian’s tonight for his dinner. It’s a tricky problem, but it’s what i-pads
do if the wrong password is used .... a security thing if has been stolen.
Later
in the afternoon I went down to the beach, but it was spitting rain so I didn’t
stay down there long..... and it was cold.
The temperature is forecast to drop even further tomorrow... a step back
into winter for some, though we will miss the snow that’s forecast for higher
ground. The boats are ‘craned in’ tomorrow so the harbour will be busy; Jimmy and I will sit in the ‘Clubhouse’
watching it all
happen in comfort; apart
from the odd sortie ‘out’ to get some pictures! I wonder if John and Linda will be over
from Cumbernauld?

I’ll get the bike out tomorrow; to bike down to the harbour if nothing else,
though I’d like to go for a longer run early in the morning. That all depends on how strong the wind is:
I still worry about falling orf the bike and knocking the hip out!
