Both the weather and 'the boy' (that's "me") are feeling 'fresh' this morning......
27th
May 2017 (Saturday)
.... 09.00 We have a bonnie morning,
but it feels ‘fresher’ and there’s a fair breeze from the East..... I’m using
the ‘stiff breeze’ to
dry a washing I hung out this morning! The
villages are busy, but the roads were quiet when I went along for the
paper; and I had an enjoyable run out on
the bike.

The
‘Yellow’ warning for heavy thunder showers is still in force for the late
afternoon evening.... my washing will be dry by then. Will it have been ‘taken in’? ....
hopefully “yes”.
21.00 First I must give a ‘Washing update’ for
those of you who ‘lost sleep’ worrying about my washing .... I did remember to take it in ..... before the rain arrived. In point of fact the ‘storms’ weren’t that
bad; we had a few of rumbles of thunder,
and a couple of spells of really heavy rain.
The very worst of the thunderstorms happened
around the Midlands of
England, and mostly petered out before
reaching the ‘Royal Burgh. The worst
of the ‘local storms’ passed to the West and East of us.... I’ve been watching
the live lightning strikes on ‘Blitzortung’. The rain will have cleared the air; there’s a good chance that I will be full of
friskiness tomorrow!

We
had the ‘Mwandi Coffee Morning’ today. Mwandi, (Zambia - formerly Northern Rhodesia),
is where the United Church of Zambia has modern Hospital and Educational
facilities. Keith
and Ida Waddell, who work out of the ‘Mission’, gave a very interesting presentation,
and talk, on the work of the mission. Click
on the above link and you will find out all about Keith and Ida’s work. Both are very passionate about what they
do; and they love doing it: a very impressive couple.
‘Plan’
for tomorrow? Jimmy needs to go to
Leven for his favourite porridge cartons,
(porridge comes in different flavours
nowadays) so we’ll do that after he does his ‘Alice’s seat’ walk, in the
morning Weather permitting I’ll get ‘up
and out’ early, before the streets get busy.
Oh , I nearly forgot, .... my
rhone has stood the test.... it isn’t overflowing, nor leaking; I know this
because I went out in the heavy rain to check .
Sometime soon I can begin to fit the proper brackets.
