Early frost ....

18th April 2017 (Tuesday) .... 08.30    It is a lovely morning, (after an early frost), but there is a layer of thin cloud that needs burning off before we get some warm

sunshine.    I’ll get the bike out, after the sun gets going!    

I haven't  formulated a plan for today .... apart from an appointment at St Andrews later in the afternoon.    However, after breakfast I’ll load up  the  car boot with shopping bags etc, ready for a shopping session (small)... probably at Morrison’s.   

 22.30     We’ve had a lovely day in the East Neuk .... it was 12c in the garden around midday .... it was so hot that Jimmy and I nearly had an attack of ‘the mauchless’;  we were sitting in the Hutte.    The temperature inside the Hutte was 24c;   I had to open the door.

In the morning we went out for a short run along to St Monans then up to Arncroach in

the Fiesta to find out where funny noises were emanating from:  they came from the tools, which were fixed metal to metal, and rattling like the clappers.    That’s sorted.    ‘She’, the car, goes into the garage to be checked over on Monday morning.

The afternoon was taken up with the trip up to St Andrews;   that was a successful mission, as my PSA levels are continuing to fall:   I go back in three months for another check.

I can’t believe that we’re going to have another General Election!   This means we’ll have to go through seven weeks of promises being made  that won’t be kept, and all of that kind of stuff .... again.     Oh....  I think I’ve sorted out why President Trump and Kim Jong- un are so grumpy, and threatening war .... it’s their hair!    Both of them could do with a better hairstyle:   they would then feel better about themselves .... and

 be able to concentrate on  the beauty, that is all around them, on this Planet of ours!    That’s those two sorted out!

Our weather is forecast to be ‘cloudy but dry’ and warmer with the chance of sunny spells later in the morning.    I might get the bike out first thing, and go up for the papers!
