Nice morning ... but cool
1st
June 2016 (Wednesday)
.... 08.30 It’s a beautiful morning,
but it is breezy, and cooler; there are
also some clouds around, but they should disappear
soon. My ‘plan’ is to go to Leven to get my
haircut, and do a wee ‘shopping’; by
the time I get back to Ivy it should be warm enough for me to do some
work. The garden is a colossal job
this time round, but I am making inroads, albeit slowly.... and I am enjoying
doing it. I’ve been out on the bike for
some exercise; now it’s “Puku’s” turn: To get some exercise i.e. When I think of it, in 22 days it will be
the Summer Solstice.... then it’s all
downhill to winter; or uphill to summer
in the southern hemisphere.

I
didn’t get my haircut this morning; too
may ladies wanting their hair done for holidays etc. I’ll get my haircut next Tuesday;
Tuesday is a quiet day for the Hairdresser. However, I did manage to go for coffee in
Stuart’s, followed by some shopping in Sainsbury’s.... and was back at Ivy in
time for Jimmy’s morning cuppa in the Hutte.

My
‘work’ today has consisted of topping up the water tub, so the birds can get a
drink without falling in, and preparing a chair for staining. About 16.00 time, Jimmy arrived for an
afternoon cuppa, so we sat in the Hutte, watching the birds, drinking tea.
With
the weather being so bonnie I went out on the bike again in the early evening
.... up to Elie and through the Estate. It was cold biking into the wind, and that
was all
the way from ‘The Ferry’ to the South Lodge entrance to the Estate. From there until I got back to Ivy the wind
wasn’t noticeable.

We’re
forecast to have another nice day tomorrow.... but probably cloudier; and cold of course, due to the wind
direction (ENE). I’ll get out on the
bike first thing, before doing some kind of ‘work’: there are plenty of jobs needing done!
