Nice calm morning .....
24th December 2016 (Saturday).....
10.30 WE have a nice calm day after
yesterday’s ‘hoolie’; it is overcast at
present but the sun is trying to break through. I’m going ‘down town’ for some exercise and
to get a ‘pinnie’ for Janice. Must go ‘slight
flap on’ mode has kicked in.
23.00 It has been slightly colder today, though
not cold for the time of year. I
enjoyed my walk ‘down town’ this morning;
it’s getting back ‘up town’ that’s the hard bit. On
the way home I fancied a rest so went into “Ray’s The Barber’s” and had a badly
needed hair cut; the barber asked me if
I had a hat with me because he reckoned I’d need it when I went out. I did!
Have a hat i.e.... and needed it when I left the shop! Oh .... and, I remembered to get Janice a
‘pinnie’. His name, the Barber’s name
i.e. wasn’t ‘Ray’, .... (as far as I can understand, ‘Ray’ is the name of the
bloke who originally had the ‘shop’, yonks ago) .... anyway, the bloke who cut
my
hair today, who’s name isn’t ‘Ray’, gave me a braw haircut! Jings this is getting complicated! And I should have asked the bloke his name!

Emily
and John arrived late in the afternoon,
since when we .... caught up with each other’s ‘news’, had food, .... then John
unpacked his guitar entertained us with some very skilful and easy on the ear playing. I managed to get a short video of John
playing. The ‘Troops’ are away down to
the ‘Club’ leaving Bonnie and myself i/c at “No 1”. It’s
actually quite mild tonight, and there’s nae wind; somewhat different from last night, in fact
the temperature is forecast to rise to very unseasonal heights over the next few days... even in Bonnie
Scotland; though up there it will also
be windy.
I
think I’ll make myself a cuppa, then settle down in front of the tele. Michael and Janice have “Sky” and there are a
few more channels to browse through:
though as far as I can see ‘television’ is a great invention ‘wasted’. Religion used to be the ‘opiate of the
masses’ .... ‘sport’ has taken on that role nowadays.
