Frisky morning ....
17th
Match 2017 (Friday)
.... “Happy St Patrick’s Day” to everyone .... have a great day wherever you
are!”
09.00 With the weather forecast being a bit on
the ‘iffy’ side, I went out walking at
06.45;
it was breezy, and cold, but at least it was dry .... it still is breezy
and dry, but the sky has become more threatening in the past hour .... but,
even it, or when the rain does arrive, I’ve had some exercise. Jimmy is going to do his “Alice’s seat”
walk, then the ‘plan’ is to go to Leven for a cuppa in Sainsbury’s; and some ‘shopping’.

| Interesting sky. |
20.30 The weather did turn ‘dreich’ and cold,
and it still is; Ivy Cottage hatches
are battened down and I will be in bed, with my book, by 21.30.
Jimmy
and I went to Leven as per ‘plan’ ..... Jimmy wanted to get some super quick to
make porridge; I’d browse. Well browsing has its results at
times. Today I bought ‘Ocean Spray’
Cranberry Juice priced at £1 for a litre and a half carton; in Sainsbury’s a litre carton cost £2.50. It is the exact same Cranberry juice ...
and the ‘cheap shop’ (The Bargain Store) is making profit on it! It was the same with Jimmy’s porridge; today he paid £1 for three tubs... and 99p for
one in ‘The Store’ in Ainster the other day.... it was Quaker brand porridge in
both shops.

The
‘Bargain Store’, does not have everything, such as ‘Duck in Plum Sauce’ ready
meals, which I am partial to, now and again .... Sainsbury’s does, and they have a
Cafe; so we went ‘ower the road’ to Sainsbury’s,
where I got the ‘DiPS’, and some other bits and pieces, followed by a cuppa
upstairs. I enjoyed ‘shopping’ today,
but
the cup o’ tea in the Cafe was the best bit.

My
afternoon was spent finishing orf the Presentation for the EKC Guild next week; all I need to do is have a ‘trial run’ before
I go to bed .... if the ‘zapper’ batteries are OK. I’ll get new batteries ‘ra morra’ anyway.
It
might not have been the bonniest of ‘days’ re weather but I’m happy and
contented tonight. I’m off to get the ‘zapper’
and have a ‘run through’ of the Presentation.
