Lovely morning .... but cool
27th
February 2017 (Monday)
... 09.00 Having extracted myself
from under the duvet at ‘silly time’, I decided to go for an early morning walk
over to
West Bay. It was/is a nice
morning for walking but, cauld on the lugs.
However, (after I pulled my hat doon, ower my lugs), it was enjoyable,
and my lungs are full of very fresh air:
I walked 3.38 kilometres (2.1 miles ..or 133,070 inches) and only saw
one other person; a lady walking her
dogs. The sun was up by the time I got
back to Ivy; and I was well ready for
breakfast.

20.30 With it being such a bonnie morning I
decided to clean the windows, inside and outside. When I started it was warm, because most of
“Ivy” windows are on the east side of the cottage, therefore sheltered from the
southwest breeze. However the wind
backed round to the South southeast; suddenly,
it was cold! This had me scampering
round to the West side of Ivy and cleaning the back door; which has 15 panes of glass. Jimmy arrived for his morning cup o’ tea
and brought a halt to the window cleaning:
I’ll finish it (the window cleaning) tomorrow. We sat out in The Hutte, which had reached
70f... perfect for drinking tea, blethering, .... and falling asleep in!

Lunch
time, quietly ‘came and went’ ... sandwiches, not very exciting, but very tasty and
enjoyable. By this time I was in need
of ‘50’ so went out to ‘the Hutte’ fiddled about with a Soduko (a fiendish
one)... and fell asleep. I’ll finish
it (the Soduko) tomorrow. I awoke to
find “Blob”, wearing his, “I haven’t been fed for at least half an hour”,
look. I fed him.
Tomorrow’s
weather is forecast to be “bright and sunny,.... but cold”;
a perfect drying day. Maggie
would be impressed with the way I think now... for the first few years after
Maggie died I just blundered along; now
I’m thinking ‘housewifely’. There’s
nobody more surprised than I am at this ....
me adjusting to thinking sensibly is akin to a mild miracle!
The
‘boy’ is having an early night tonight .... I’m feeling tired after my morning walk
and the window cleaning effort. The ‘plan’ is to get ‘up’ early and get the
washing through the machine and out on the line. There is the chance of light snow flurries
tomorrow but that’s mostly for the Pettycur beach area!
