Gorgeous morning ....
27th
March 2017 (Monday)
....“Happy
Birthday Michael .... have a great day!”
How old? No that can’t be I’m only 63!
09.30(BST) The weather forecast was for us to have cloud moving in from the North
Sea; but no sign of that happening, so far. In fact we have a gorgeous, ‘sunny and warm’
morning after a light touch of early frost.
I have been out for a pre-breakfast walk... and walked/meandered exactly
3 kilometres (1.86 mile) over the beach, Chapel Green and the golf course. I was ready for my porridge when I got back
to Ivy.
21.30 This has been another beautiful day, in spite of there being a cool breeze from the East; however it all changed by evening time: the cloud moved in, the wind became stronger ... it’s now overcast and cauld.

This
morning I oiled the bike, adjusted the seat and did the ‘Elie Estate’ circuit
after lunch. It was great being out on
the bike again; and it will massively
extend my range. I did take a few
photos of Kinneuchar Loch, but it was too windy for reflections, which is what
I like. By the time I got back to Ivy
the bike seat was back where it had been before I adjusted it; a bit more effort required when it comes to
tightening the nut methinks. Apart
from that the biking went well, and I’m looking forward to getting out tomorrow
for a short ‘run’; the bike seat has
been adjusted and this time it shouldn’t move ... then again, it might. The wind is going to be Easterly (again) tomorrow,
so I won’t be going very far: never did like
biking in an Easterly wind... you’ve got it ‘in your face’ for half the trip...
unless you get lucky.
Other
than going out on the bike I don’t have a ‘plan’; there’s always plenty to do in the garden to
keep me occupied. I may have a pair of
Wrens nesting in the ‘ivy’ of Ivy
Cottage;
they have been showing interest in the ivy bush for a couple of
days. The wrens have been nesting
around this corner of the village for many years now; and can be easily heard when scolding a
Jackdaw or cat. For their size they can
make a lot of noise. They’re not so
easily seen.

I
started to read a Dan Brown book last night;
as with all of Dan Brown’s books, this one is going to having me reading
late.

trait it seems.
