Quiet, wind free, morning ....
7th
May 2017 (Sunday) ... 08.00
Oh my word ... I had some bother with cramp last night... and lost a lot
of sleep. It will most likely have
been caused by
biking, and dehydrating, in the East wind. Anyway I drank copious amounts of water,
one glass with some salt in it, and the cramp settled down. I
forgot to fill my water bottle yesterday.
I’m hoping to sit tough a cramp
free service in the kirk this morning; I’ll
sit near the back just in case .... and have a bottle of water , and a couple
of salty biscuits, with me.

We
have a nice, windless morning, but it is
overcast; the sun is already beginning to
burn off the cloud so we should have a nice warm day .... if it remains ‘windless’.
21.00 It has been a beautiful day, though the
wind did ‘get up’ in the afternoon ... which took a few degrees off the
temperature ... the thing that’s beginning to ‘bother’ us is the fact that the
gardens, and farms, need rain.
There’s always something to
grumble about.

I
went to the kirk, and had absolutely no problems with the cramp. I thought that the hard edge of the pew
might bring on a cramp ... but I drank
plenty water, and nibbled a couple of biscuits, and everything was fine. The ‘Long Service Certificate’ recipients
photograph was taken after the service, and that went perfectly too. Well not quite; one of the recipients disappeared... he had
gone along to the Church hall where there was Coffee/Tea and cakes etc. We caught up with the ‘hungry boy, and he was
photographed in the Hall; to be ‘Photo-shopped
’ into the main group photo later. This has been done, and the final ‘group Photo’ looks ‘realistic’
which is surprising, because this is the
first time I have done this.... so “all’s well that ends well”.
I’d
intended going up to a ‘Gardener’s Question Time’ in the Kilconquhar Kirk Hall this
afternoon, but my lack of sleep caught up with me and I fell fast asleep in the
Hutte... and, for considerably longer
than I normally would. By the time I
woke up it was too late to go to Kinneuchar:
on the other hand, this meant I had time to get the
Photo-Shopping’
done.

Earlier
this evening I went down to the beach to take a few ‘beachy’ photos, having put
the polarizing filter back onto the lens.
I discovered two things when I was down there; I didn’t have a card in the camera; and I
hadn’t taken the camera bag with me. I
had a short walk, then discovered a third thing .... it was cauld. I poodled back to Ivy and put the kettle ‘on’!
This
seems to have been a busy day, though I haven’t done much: I did enjoy the kirk this morning.... always
plenty of folks to talk too there. ... and the service was interesting.
