On the bike again .....
13th
August 2016 (Saturday)
.... 08.00 I went out, on the bike,
at 06.00 this morning and poodled my way round the villages; but, oh my word .... the ‘Royal
Burgh’ looks
like an Arnold Clark forecourt this morning;
cars everywhere. Not photogenic. Having said that, it is good to see the old
place ‘active’, because, all too soon, it will be near enough empty.

There was an autumnal feel to the air at 06.00, but it
should be warmer, once the sun is higher in the sky; and, with a stiff North Westerly breeze, it
will also be a good ‘drying day’. I have
a washing on the line.
22.30 Some days are ‘good’ ... some are
excellent; ‘today’ was of the excellent quality. The weather was perfect for the washing
drying, and for going out for a walk.
However, even though I was sorely tempted to go walking, I had ‘housewifely’
things to catch up with after my holiday up at Auchnagatt: for some reason I felt ‘organised’ this
morning .... not a feeling that comes over me often. I was agitated by this, and decided to have
a cuppa, and some relaxing time out in the Hutte, before doing the housewifely
things. This was not a good idea; I ended up doing a couple of Soduko’s, before
falling asleep.... and was sound asleep when Jimmy arrived to bring me ‘up to
date’ with the local news .... and for his morning cuppa.
Unfortunately Jimmy, who is my Top Secret roving
reporter (hereafter ‘RR’), does the roving bit fine, but forgets any news he
picks up on the way. By the time Jimmy
had pottered orf down to the sailing Club, it was lunch time. I ate something... then did the housework.

About
14.00, I was sitting in the Hutte, thinking how hard it is being ‘me’... when
my ‘RR’ turned up. I instantly went
into ‘agog’ mode.... but there was no ‘news’ flash; Jimmy wanted to go to Leven to get a
haircut. We went to Leven, but the
Hairdresser was busy, so, on the advice of the Hairdresser, we’re going back on
Tuesday afternoon. The most exciting ‘happening’
of the afternoon was me buying 240 “Yorkshire Tea” teabags in Sainsbury’s....
they were on some kind of an ‘offer’.
Although
it got quite dull in the evening I went for a braw walk, .... along the beach,
‘roond the Chapel’ and home
via the golf course. It was quiet ...
with only another couple of folks out walking.

I
don’t have a ‘plan’ for tomorrow, but if the weather forecast is correct, it
could be a nice day for gardening .... sunny spells, and dry.
