Gorgeous day .....
23rd
May 2016 (Monday)
..... 11.00 It is a really nice
morning, hence the lateness of the Hutte being updated: I’ve been out on the bike (Elie Estate), and
dropped in to see, and have a cuppa with, Jimmy on the way home. Now that I’ve had breakfast I think I’ll
stain one of the garden chairs; if I
have stain. If I don’t, have stain,
it’s a quick trip to Leven. No ...
I’d postpone staining the chairs, and go to Leven on Wednesday when there’s 10%
orf everything at B n Q’s; there are
other things I can do.

21.30 I have been a busy boy today.... having
stained two of the garden chairs. The
staining doesn’t take that long; it’s getting them ready for staining takes the
time. I have enough to stain another
two of the chairs; there are six
altogether (and a table).... so I will have to buy another, small tin of stain,
from B n Q’s on Wednesday. I’m
wondering? .... should I buy another big tin, and give the chairs two
coats? I’ll make my mind up on that
before Wednesday.

It
has been a bonnie day, with plenty warmth in the sun, though there was the
usual cool onshore breeze from the east, after midday. I had
the urge to go out on the bike but ‘I yielded not to temptation’ and did the chairs. Jimmy came in for a cuppa in the afternoon; we sat in the Hutte, chatted, and watched the
birds. This happened ‘between chairs’
.... I needed the tea break.
In
the early part of the evening I biked up to Chapel Green because it was such a
bonnie evening. The East wind was
quite cool at this time, but not cold enough to stop me sitting on the ‘Boss’s
Seat’ for advice. Maggie would hardly
believe that I still use her way of thinking to get by: any ‘problems’ I have, I just say to myself ..
“what would Maggie do?”... and the problem is solved. Not that I have many problems... but any I
do have, I know where
to get the answer.

It
looks like being breezier tomorrow, and with the wind orf the East it will most
likely feel cooler. That said it is
forecast to be a bonnie day, especially out of the wind; in Ivy garden staining chairs, and drinking cuppas. I’m tired tonight.... painting must be ‘hard
work’!
