Overcast and windy morning ..... bonnie afternoon and evening
21st
April 2017 (Friday) .... 08.30 It’s overcast and windy this morning, but
dry: I have two jerseys out on the line, so I hope
it stays that way. The sun is
forecast
to break through later in the afternoon, so I’m feeling ‘positive’ .... and ‘friskier’ than
I have done for the past few days.

The
only ‘plan’ for today, is the setting up
of a bird bath; “Blob” and friends need
to have a bath now and again. I have
the equipment, all I need to do is fit it all together!
21.30 Mmmmm.... this has been a sort of ‘mixed up’ day for me. For a start I didn’t get the bird bath erected: but I did fill the bath part so the birds
could have a bath, but it’s on the ground, and I don’t like that: the problem was it began to rain so I went to
Leven to do some shopping.

The
‘Food Bank’ folks were in Sainsbury’s;
I donated and ended up with two new ‘girlfriends’. When you really think about it there’s
something far wrong with our country, when some folks are relying on food
donations. I mean we can afford to fight
unwinnable wars (at great cost in both money and lives), but can’t afford to take
care of our own folk? .... this is
something the Government should be ashamed of.
However as long as there are folks, like my ‘new girlfriends’, caring
about the less fortunate, there is hope .... and ‘love’ ... in this
country; no thanks to the Government. Moan over .... but I feel better after
that.
You
will remember the jerseys I mentioned in
the first paragraph? When I got back to
Ivy I suddenly remembered them too, .... they were out on the line; my two soaking jerseys, out on the line, I
might add!... because they had been well soaked in the heavy shower that
rattled over when I was in Leven. I
put them (the jerseys) through the spin cycle and hung them up on a ‘horse’ in
the Hutte. So all’s well that ends
well.

There
will be much activity at the harbour tomorrow morning; the
boats are being ‘craned in’ .... starting at 09.00(ish). I have a suspicion that Jimmy and I will be
‘doon at the harbour’ for most of the morning.
The weather forecast is ‘mostly bright and sunny, with a light westerly
wind... and slightly colder.
