Jimmy's Family birthday celebration .... .....
23rd
October 2016 (Sunday)
.... 10.30 There’s a ‘chill’ in the
air this
morning, but it is a lovely day for being out and about. I went down to the beach to see watch sunrise,
and have a quiet stroll along the water’s edge, before breakfast. There
were a couple of folk out with their dogs, and a lone jogger hit the beach ‘at
speed’ as I was coming off it. The
weather forecast is a bit on the ‘iffy side of good’; we could get showers later.

21.30 As ‘predicted’
by the weather forecasters, the weather has been showery on and off most of
today.... and it’s also cool. But the
weather didn’t matter to Jimmy and me: Jimmy’s Family had organised a ‘Birthday Party’
at Audrey’s and John’s house in Kinneuchar;
Audrey and John being Jimmy’s daughter, and son in law. June, Ronnie, Ian, Gill and Shirley, (and
the dogs) completed the Family. Tom,
Gill’s ‘Dad’, and I were there to
torment Jimmy. It was a nice, 90th birthday, ‘Family’ “get
thegither”, enjoyed by all .... including the dogs. The
girls had set out a beautiful spread, and “Puku”, bless his skinniness, was
well happy by the time we left.

For
some reason I feel ‘gloomy’ tonight:
this to me, is a strange , unnatural feeling. Having read the ‘rools’ that came with the
pills I’ve been taking (I took the last one this evening) one of the possible
side effects is ‘depression’. That
said, the pills have done their job, re getting rid of the infection; now all I need to do is shake orf the ‘gloom’
thing. Tomorrow I have an appointment
with the doctor to sort out the next move(s).
Depending
on the weather I might go up to Balcarres to get some autumn pictures this
week: that might help to shake off the ‘gloom’....
Balcarres usually does. I also need to
get my hair cut sometime this week , however that’s not a vital mission .... I could even put it off for another week. In fact I think I just have!

I
have decided that we need sunshine tomorrow... tomorrow weather is forecast to
be ‘bright and sunny, with the odd cloud.
Unfortunately the wind, though light, will be from the Northeast, and
therefore cool.
