Feeling skittish ....
13th
June 2017 (Tuesday)
.... 08.30 My ‘plan’ is to walk out to
West Bay,.... however the sky has ‘clouded over’ in the past hour, and it looks
like it could
rain; this probably means
that ‘evening time’ will be the best time of day for sunshine. I’ll do a bit of ‘ousework,..... by the time I’ve done that, I should know what’s
happening with the weather.

18.30 I’ve had an active day.... and feel tired
already. Jimmy phoned to say that New
Zealand and Sweden were racing against other to see who would qualify to
Challenge for the ‘America Cup’.... I was exhausted by the end of the race,
which New Zealand won by a big margin. I have a vivid imagination.... and could
picture Jimmy and me on one of those yachts.
First
thing this morning, after the ‘ousework etc, I walked over the Golf Course to
West Bay and ambled along the ‘Coastal Path’ to Chapel Green, where I stopped
for a rest on The Boss’s Seat. I was
able to tell ‘The Boss’; “yes I have
done the ooverin’ and a wee bit dusting.... and I’m going to ‘do’ a baking in
the afternoon”.
About
ten minutes after I got back to Ivy, Jimmy turned up, smack on cue .... the kettle
reached boiling point as he opened the front door. We had a cuppa then went along to Leven
where Jimmy bought Geraniums for his front garden; I bought bread ... and another bottle of
honey.

John
Dye (Painter and Decorator) is working at “Rotomahana” (the house, “Rotomahana”
is named after the Lake of that name 20
miles south of Rotorua in New Zealand.
The lake formed, out of two smaller lakes, a few years after the ‘dormant’
volcano, Mount Tarawera erupted in 1886). Now
where was I?.... oh aye .... John and I had a braw chat, mostly about painter
things, but one of the ‘other’ subjects that John mentioned was that he, and
his wife, had been on holiday in Alaska.
They have been all over the planet and should write a book about their
adventures around Mother Earth.
I
baked some Melting Moments this afternoon .... “the Boys”, Jim and Jimmy come down on Tuesday
evening to chat about, mostly things local, over a cup of my delightful tea! Everyone seems to have gone orf ‘coffee’: the last time we had decent coffee in Ivy was
when Linda and John were here about three weeks ago. Linda made it.
Tomorrow
id forecast to be ‘cloudy and warm’, with the chance of an odd shower. I
have ‘nae plans’ thought I may get the
bike out if it is really warm.
