Overcast but dry ....
7th
December 2016 (Wednesday)
.... 08.30 Mmmmmm .... it is mild and
overcast, but the rain has moved away:
it is not a ‘drying day’ though there is a breeze
getting up... so it
might be later. A ‘drying day i.e.

I’m
going to take the bus to Leven; I need
to get ink for the printer,.... and C6 envelopes; I’ll then ‘unwind, by browsing the paintings,
by local artists, in Stuart’s Cafe... with a cuppa and an Apple Turnover
(without cream). Yes ... that seems
to be a good ‘plan’.
Stuart’s
(Leven) have a whole lot of new paintings in their ‘Cafe’ section.... covering a wide variety of subjects, by
local, Levenmouth artists; talented
artists I might add. Although the ‘cafe’
section is totally windowless, the pictures more than make up for that. I enjoyed my cuppa .... and the non cream
Apple Turnover... especially the non- cream Apple Turnover!
Unusually
I managed to buy everything I went to Leven for, plus a few other useful
things. There was a queue at the
checkout desk in W.H. Smith’s, so I decided to use the ‘self service checkout’
machine: amazingly it worked perfectly...
actually I should rephrase that; I managed
to ‘self checkout my goods’ without a blunder.
The
secret? My favourite Check Out lassie in Sainsbury’s taught
me how to do ‘self checkout’ a few weeks ago.
The people in W.H. Smith’s queue looked surprised to see this ‘auld git’ skip the queue... and do the ‘self’ thing nae
bother!

I
bumped into Janet in Leven,... not literally ‘bumped into, but met her. In point of fact I might have literally ‘bumped
into her’ ‘cos I wasn’t looking where I was going; I was
studying a pigeon that was feeding its way up the High Street... looking to see
if it had rings on its legs, when I heard a voice, (that sounded like my sister’s)
say “Albert”. I thought to myself ,“the High Street can’t
be full of “Albert’s”... that might be someone that knows me”. It was Janet... my sister. Jings I was alert this morning! The alertness wore off fast enough; both Jimmy and I fell asleep at No 10 (Jimmy’s
residence) this afternoon.
What
day’s the morn? It will definitely be
the day after today. So what day was
today?.... Oh aye Wednesday: that means
tomorrow is Thursday, ‘Drop in Cafe’ afternoon. I told you that the alertness has worn orf! I feel tired after a strenuous day ‘thinking’. The ‘morn’ is forecast to be overcast, and
windy, with a few sunny spells.
