Absolutely gorgeous morrrrrning .....
3rd
May 2017 (Wednesday)
.... 10.00 I have been one active ‘boy’
on what is an absolutely gorgeous, sunny morning; unfortunately the Northeast wind is still
with us which takes a few degrees off the temperature.... and, with me having my
hair cut yesterday the temperature is very noticeable! When I say ‘active’ I am slightly
exaggerating; I’ve been up for the
papers ... oh, I met Marcia up there, and she let me see a photo she got of a
piper playing, in the Lady’s Tower on ‘May Day’ morning; Marcia
was there at the right time! .... ‘Me?’.... I’d be poodling about on the beach
most likely. From the ‘Paper Shop’ E
biked up through the Estate; I’m getting
the urge to go up to Balcarres but want to wait until the wind goes round to southwest! It’s
much easier going up to Balcarres with the wind on my back!

20.00 The
morning’s activity was about the only real exercise I had all day. Jimmy came along for a morning cuppa, and
we contemplated how hard it was being ‘us’.
When Jimmy left to go down to then harbour, I pulled a few weeds then suddenly remembered it was 10% off day at
B n Q’s (Leven) so I bumbled my way to Leven and back before having a latish
‘lite bite’ lunch.

In
the afternoon Jimmy and George arrived so we had a good discussion about the
different ‘pills’ that we are ‘on’.... and how hard it is being ‘us’. We even discussed tomorrow’s Local
Election .... suddenly Jimmy remembered
that he had forgotten to post his Postal Vote;
this fact was duly mulled over, and it was decided his Postal Vote might
as well go straight into the ‘paper bin’.... it was too late.
This
has been a lovely day with ‘wall to wall’ bloo sky all day; unfortunately the Northeast wind has also
been with us all day taking the temperature down by a good
few degrees. In Ivy garden we had a reading of 18c at
14.00 .... but Ivy garden is well sheltered.
It would be considerably cooler down on the beach.

Our
weather for tomorrow is forecast to be more or less a repeat of today’s ....
which is fine; but would be better if
the Northeast wind wasn’t with us. Tomorrow
is ‘Drop in Cafe’ day, which takes in the afternoon. I haven’t a ‘plan’ for morning time, but
I’m sure I’ll find something to do .... pulling a few weeds would be a good ‘plan’.
