Lovely day .....
8th
May 2016 (Sunday)
....09.00 It looks like we are going
to have a nice
day; although it’s
overcast just now, and we’ve had some light rain earlier, the sun is beginning
to work on the clouds and should break through soon. Having said that, we do have a light
easterly wind, this will keep us cool, and might well bring ‘stuff’ in from the
North Sea. However it, the weather,
looks promising at this point in time.

I
was in ‘fine’ voice in the shower this morning ....not melodious ... but loud! Yes I’m ready to claim back ‘my’
gallery! I don’t know whether to put
on a tie or not .... a tie acts like a ‘volume’ control, and restricts what I
can blast out!. I’ll put on a tie!
It’s hard to believe that it was 58 years ago,
on this date, that I arrived in Aldershot to begin my National Service..... how
time flies right enough.

22.30 The sun did break through and we ended up
with a bright, sunny day, though the East wind spoiled things; however we mustn’t grumble; when out of the wind it was hot. Ivy garden was at 21c at one point.
The
kirk must have been crowded this morning ... three people came up to ‘my’
gallery. This cut down my vocal
output by 100%, although I mime like an opera singer; from the pulpit I probably look like I am a
good vocalist! I’m not.
I
was back, and in my working togs, at Ivy by 11.15; had a quick cuppa then went out to do some work stuff. My muscles are not liking this but it will
do then good ... and I’m sleeping like a log.
It will be more of the same tomorrow as the weather forecast is ‘bright
and sunny’ once the sun burns away the early morning cloud/fog. We might
end up with haar if it continues
hot.

I
have two Goldfinches coming to the feeder now.... the sunflower seed hearts
one, not the Niger seeds as I expected.
A Yellow Hammer also appeared, which surprised me just a bit. I must set up the camera and get some bird
photos tomorrow... once it’s set up it does it all automatically, when a bird
lands on the perch the camera is focused on.
