Autumnal feel in the early morning air ....
28th
June 2016 (Tuesday)
.... 08.30 I do believe that I
detected a slight autumnal touch in the ‘air’ this morning... but that was at
06.00. That said, we do have another
lovely, “bright and breezy” morning, and it will be warm when the sun
gets up a
bit. I’m ‘tied’ to Ivy until the
Worcester engineer arrives to service the boiler; which could be any time up until 18.00. This isn’t a ‘bad’ thing, ‘cos ‘M’ is
coming, .... = ‘slight panic mode’: got
some ‘man cave’ stuff to ‘build’ into tidy heaps!

| this morning .... |
I
forgot that England were playing, football, last night .... actually, when I
read the reports it appears that they didn’t.
Play football i.e.! They’re out of Europe, in more ways than one. We Scots know the feeling.
I’d
better ‘go’ and do things .... and the first thing that needs doing is? ...
switch on the kettle!
22.30 The ‘Boiler Man’ arrived at 11.00, and was
finished by 11.30. The Boiler man had just left when Jimmy arrived,
well ready for a cuppa after his morning walk up at the Chapel. He, Jimmy, needed to go to Lidl’s in Leven
to get some food ‘n stuff, so all that took up the morning. In fact we didn’t get back from Leven until
13.30. Lidl’s was busy, which
surprised me because we were shopping at what was ‘lunchtime’. Anyway we
managed to fill Jimmy’s car boot with bags of ‘vital necessities’; which included Tunnock’s Caramel Wafers for ‘M’. They, Tunnock’s CW’s, aren’t available in
New Zealand, so ‘M’ relies on the occasional package being
sent from Scotland. Unfortunately her ‘source’ in Scotland is
unreliable; that’s me! I did send one package out, but it never reached
‘M’. Neither did the other ones I bought on a
number of occasions, .... I ate them.
Naughty boy. However I did let ‘M’
see some of them when we were on Skype!

The
Ivy ‘man cave’ look has been .... er ‘modified’ slightly; I tidied up ‘The Hutte’. I also ran round with the Hoover, so Ivy has
the, ‘tidy man cave’ look. ‘The Hutte’
is sparkling.
Jim
and Jimmy came down for our weekly chat;
most of which was about the ‘referendum’ result; and the political chaos that we now
have. Politics has never been so
exciting..... but it’s going to take a long time for the ‘dust to settle’. One of our politicians (Jeremy Hunt)
suggested that, after we have sorted out the ‘exit deal’ with Europe, we have
another referendum to see if we (British) are happy with ‘The
Exit Deal’. I
think he might have been joking! That said, it might put right the mess we now have.

My
‘plan’ is to go along and pick up ‘M’ tomorrow then we’ll come up with ‘The
Plan’ for the remainder of the day. The weather forecast for
tomorrow is for it to be much the same as today.
