20c, on what is a stunning morning .... and it’s forecast to be like
this all day; and there is only a smirr
o’ a breeze, so it could be really hot later..... as in ‘mauchless’ hot.
I
went out on the bike at 06.00; did the
Chapel Green, Elie Harbour and Elie Estate ‘run’ .... it was lovely, but I was just
a bit too warm by the time I got back to Ivy at 08.40. I managed to get a few photos when out ....
my next ‘move is to have a cuppa and check them .... (the photos).

21.30 After looking at my photos this morning I
biked along to Jimmy’s; Jimmy had to
stay in “No 10” until the Worcester Service engineer arrived. We had a cuppa , and a blether, then I
poodled my way back to Ivy .... via
South Street.
Once
again we’ve had a hot day .... it was 23c in Ivy garden at midday! I had to resort to having a siesta from
midday through to 15.00 .... it was too hot for me to do anything outside....
and the heat brought on a migraine. Having
said that, I did tidy up the planet a wee bit .... I uprooted some weeds. Luckily George turned up and we sat in the
Hutte and blethered. George is impressed
with my coffee .... so much so that he asked what brand it was. I told him it was a “glass jar that had a
black label with writing on it”; not
much help really was it? The brand of coffee is in fact ‘Carte

Noire’....
I just checked. I had tea.
I
won’t need to get ‘up’ so early tomorrow morning; there’s going to be a wind, therefore no
reflections. I have seen the weather
forecast: there is a weather warning out for us (Fife): thunder, with frequent lightning is forecast
to hit sometime in the afternoon. Cancel
the ‘won’t get up early bit .... will
get ‘up’ early and go out on the bike, ‘cos it looks like I won’t be biking in
the afternoon. However ... ‘it’s an
ill wind that doesn’t blow some good’ .... there should be bonnie
