Feeling 'sort of' frisky ......
3rd
June 2017 (Saturday)
.... we have ‘bright sunny and warm’
this morning .... a lovely start to the weekend. I’ve been out on the bike; only as far as the ‘paper
Shop’ and the
harbour, but it was enjoyable .... and I was glad to get out for some exercise. It’s just so bonnie that a lassie was
sitting on the sea wall having her breakfast, and enjoying the peace and
quiet: I didn’t disturb her...nor take
a photo with her in it: though it would
have been a good one.

The
cold (‘man’ variety) is beginning to slacken off but I have a cough, so I’ll stay
‘out of circulation’ for next few days; don’t
want to spread this around. That said
it must be doing the rounds of the village already ‘cos I managed to pick it up
somewhere.
Last
night I watched the ‘Two Leaders’ on Question Time: The best bit as far as I was concerned was
the lassie that asked the question immediately after the “press the nuclear
button brigade had asked their questions”.
Before she asked her question (I forget what it, her question, was) she
said “I don’t understand why anybody would want kill millions of people!” That, to me, put the ‘press the button’ gas
at a peep. The lassie obviously knew
what ‘pressing the button’ would do. You
only have to think of the Chernobyl disaster to know the damage that the fallout
can do .... and that was an accident, not a nuclear bomb. I
really don’t know why we need to have our own
‘Weapons of Mass Destruction
anyway .... we’re in NATO. What did I think of the rest of Question Time? It was
interesting but, didn’t set the heather
on fire. I’m fed up of hearing about ‘Brexit’.....
that is going to be a disaster.

21.00 Jings the weather has been ‘mixed’ today. Around midday, a bank of fog came in, and
the temperature dropped; the fog drifted
in, and out, for a while, then drifted away, leaving us us sunshine and heavy
showers! I ‘moored myself’ up in Ivy
and caught up with ‘paper work’.... filing stuff, and filling the grey bucket.
I’m
having another early night, and I won’t be going to the kirk to claim back ‘my
gallery’ tomorrow; this means that I’ll
miss the ‘picnic’ on the Toll Green at 11.45......but I do not want to spread this bug around.
