Feeling frolicsome .....
15th
June 2017 (Thursday)
.... 08.30 It’s ‘bright and breezy’
just now, with light rain/showers forecast for later. I’m going to Leven to, hopefully, get my
haircut; it depends on how busy the
hairdresser is. It’s
not vital that I have my haircut, but it could be doing with a ‘tidy up’ for Auntie
Johan’s funeral tomorrow. I am now in ‘slight
flap on’ mode.

20.30 Thursday is not the best day to go to the
Hairdresser; they are busy with ladies
getting their hair done for the weekend etc.
However I was in Leven before 09.00, and managed to get ‘done’ before
the busy time, although there was already one lady getting some kind of ‘treatment’
which involved stuff painted onto aluminium foil, then her hair was rolled into
the aluminium: when it comes to hair, it is complicated being a ‘girl’.
Instead
of going to Stuart’s for a cuppa and a scone, (which is what I’d normally do) I
caught a bus to Kirkcaldy; I wanted a new white shirt, and there’s nae place in
Leven where you can buy that, now that Cumming’s is long ‘gone’, so I went to
Mark’s and
Spencer (Kirkcaldy) because I know that they always have a good choice
of shirts..... and do a good Victoria Sponge cake.

We
had the ‘drop in Cafe’ this afternoon .... which was not quiet in decibels,
though it was a wee while before the hall filled up. Heavy clouds were beginning to build by ‘Cafe’
time, but I took a chance and biked along... not only that, I’d washed the ‘new
shirt’ and hung it out; I did not want
rain. Although we have had some heavy
showers this afternoon/evening, I was back at Ivy before the first shower....
and the shirt was ready for ironing.
Apart
from biking along to the ‘Cafe’... and a walk down to the beach this evening I
have had a restful, if busy day. I’m
organised for tomorrow; well as
organised as I
will ever be. I pick up
Janet in Leven, about 09.00, and we’ll head North, stopping at “Peggy Scott’s” for a cuppa before going
over the Cairn o’ Mount to Banchory and on to Tarland. The weather forecast is ‘nae bad’... cloudy
but dry. I do not like driving in rain,
nor ‘bright and sunny’.... so cloudy is perfect.
