.... 09.30 It’s a ‘drying day’... so I
have a washing going through. When I
think of it .... I’m beginning to understand

Maggie thought. She did all the ‘housewifely’
thinking and planning; I went out to
work, clueless as to the planning it took to stay ‘alive’ etc. Now I know how important a good ‘drying day’
is!
We
do have a ‘bright and sunny’ morning, though cool in the Northerly wind ... a
good drying in point of fact. I went
down to the beach to watch the sun rise.... but gave up on that after I realised
that the cloud bank it was trying to ‘rise’ over, was rising faster than the
sun! It was, as ever, bonnie and
peaceful looking: however, the sky was ‘busy’
with aeroplanes leaving jet trails all over the place, I don’t think I’ve ever
noticed our sky so ‘busy’. I’ve seen
the sky over Sussex loaded with jet trails... but you expect that with so many busy airports in the South east.

20.30 My good ‘drying day’ didn’t last long; the wind dropped. However the washing is dry enough to iron,
or will be by the time I get round to ironing it.
It
has been a ‘mixed up kind of day for me.
Jimmy arrived for his morning cuppa, and we ended up going to Leven,
this time to a different ‘bargain shop... “B and M” I think it’s called The ‘shop’ is massive, and the prices are
good, as is the variety of branded goods in the store; this combination meant that the shop was
busy, even at midday, which is when we were there. I bought, at great expense, a gallon small
bottle of “Brut”, ( high in pheromones apparently) aftershave. Moths use pheromones to attract the opposite
sex: perhaps I should have bought a canister of
insect repellent too!
One
of the times I was out feeding “Blob” ... and “The Enemy”... I decided that I
should turn ‘Sooper Buggy’ so that ‘she’ was ‘moored up’ facing in the right
direction. I did this by way of
Balbuthie Loan and Kinneuchar... stopping to take a

few photos on the way. Tomorrow is forecast to be brighter than
today, with only a light breeze from the Northwest. I mention this because ... when I was at
Kinneuchar the light was not good for taking photographs.
