...08.30 We have a lovely morning here
... an even mixture of cloud and blue sky... and warm, even though there is a
wind from the

SW.
The
weather forecast is ‘good’ for most of the day, but we could get showers now
and again. My first mission for ‘the day’
is a trip to Leven; I need to get bits and
pieces, so I’ll do a ‘shopping' when I’m there.
22.00 My trip to Leven was really enjoyable ....
probably because I found time to have a cuppa in Sainsbury’s Cafe. Ah that reminds me; today I bought two 1.5 litres cartons of
Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice in the ‘Cheap Shop’ , (The Bargain Store) ... they
cost £1.00 each. In Sainsbury’s, I
paid £2.30 for a single one litre carton.
In other words I got three litres in the ‘Cheap Shop’ and it cost me 30p
less than the one litre in Sainsbury’s. All three cartons

contain
exactly the same ‘Cranberry Juice’, and the blurb on the cartons is also
exactly the same. I know that
Sainsbury’s (and all the big stores etc) put investors way before customers; all part of living in “rip off Britain” I
guess. However, Sainsbury’s does
have two advantages over the ‘Cheap Shop’ ..... they have a ‘Cafe’, and I am
‘in love’ with one of the checkout lassies.
Even so I won’t be buying my Cranberry juice in Sainsbury’s again.
With
the weather being comfortably warm, I got the bike out and went for a potter
round the Estate. This is the first time
that I’ve been out on the bike without a jacket this year.... I’m hoping this
is the start of out summer weather. I
decided to go round

by Kinneuchar Station for change of scenery... the trees are looking gorgeous,
with different fresh ‘greens’ all over the place. I
came home by the usual estate road and
only just got back to Ivy when it started to spit rain. The rain never came to much, and we’ve
ended up with a lovely evening.
Jimmy
has just off home after an evening discussing a wide range of subjects; mostly local ... and old. Jim didn’t appear so we think that he is
still celebrating his birthday!
