Not a bonnie sunrise .....
28th
October 2016 (Friday)
.... 09.00 ‘The Boy’ has a washing
going through the machine; because we
have a ‘drying day ahead’. There’s a
nice South
Westerly breeze, (it’s slightly cooler than yesterday), and we are
going have ‘bright and sunny’ by midday:
and, I’m feeling ‘perky’ this morning.

| Sunrise this morning! |
I’ve
had my early morning walk, now I suppose I should do some ‘work’. The garden looks dry; if it is dry, I’m going to potter about out
there; there’s always ‘stuff’ needing
pruned etc. The roses are still flowering
..... which is braw, but I think I should really prune them back for the ‘winter’.
21.30 The gardening I set out to do, ended up
with me picking the apples and making an Eve’s Pudding with them. This is the first time the tree has
produced enough fruit to do anything with;
the fact that it produced 24
apples this year has saved it from an early demise,.... and being ‘turned’ into walking sticks. There are three ‘branches’, and they would make bonnie walking
sticks. The apples look really nice and edible, but
they are not sweet apples.... hence the Eve’s Pudding. That reminds me, I must
remember to freeze
what’s left of the Eve’s pudding.

I’ve
had a ‘drab’ sort of day, .... I was feeling like the weather looked. It has been mostly grey .... and cold today,
so, instead of being out in the cold, I
did a lot of inside stuff; Eve’s Pudding being one of the ‘warm’ inside
jobs, and an ironing, that’s been needing done for a couple of days, was the
other. At sunset time I went for a walk up to the
Pony Field, and over the golf course. Wrapped
up, as I was, I still felt cold; however
I enjoyed being out in the ‘very fresh’ air.
We
can look forward to a slightly warmer, grey day tomorrow .... well, mostly grey,
we
may get a few bright spells in the East of Fife. I don’t have any plans ... tomorrow is ‘Day
5’ (of 7) and the pills dictate how I feel ... but I’m going out for a walk at
some point in the day.

| The 'Royal Burgh' after sunset .... yes it was cold! |
I
need to find a book to read in bed .... I finished a ‘Wilbur Smith’ one the
other night. I fancy reading ‘Treasure
Island’ for some reason, but I can’t find it, though I know it’s somewhere.
