Interesting UK General Election result .....
9th
June 2017 (Friday)
.... Oh dear .... there’s a heap of greyness coming over from the West... I’d better get down to the beach for a quick
walk before it, the rain, arrives. We
had an exciting result in our General Election.... Theresa went for
an election
because she thought she’d have a landslide victory, and ends up with a hung
Parliament,.... “Indyref2” has been ‘kicked into touch’ .... and Stephen Gethins
kept the Fife North East seat by two votes .... the narrowest margin in the UK.
I’m orf to the
beach for a daunder before it starts to rain.

20.00 The weather has been a real mixture
today; we’ve had spells of rain, spells
of sunshine, and showers. The best part
of ‘the day’ as far as the weather went was late afternoon evening time. I did go up to the ‘Pony Field’, and golf
course, a couple of times, but, both times I had to hurry back to Ivy before rain
came over. The ‘Pony Field’ is a good
vantage point, from which you can the weather coming across the Lomond Hills
etc.
Unsurprisingly
today’s ‘News’ has been about the General Election, and the unexpected result. The
bit that means that I’ll sleep well tonight is that “Indyref2” will have to be ‘moored
up’.... and hopefully for a long time.
I don’t know why the SNP don’t settle for what they are really good
at.... “speaking up for Scotland”; let’s
put the “Great” back into Great Britain, via a strong, really devolved Scotland
in the
United Kingdom. As for the Conservatives going into agreement
with the DUP?.... I have a feeling that will come with a very heavy price tag. That’s the General Election sorted.... until
the next one.

With
the weather being dreich in the morning, Jimmy and I went to Sainsbury’s for a cuppa
in the Cafe. Growing old(er) is
actually quite an interesting experience:
we sat in the Cafe watching customers of varied ages, and fitness, passing
to and fro. Sitting down we felt that
we compared favourably with the fittest among them! When we stood up, and our own sair knees
and hips etc cracked into action, we must have made a lot of folks feel good as
they watched us scurry hirple towards the lift! Of
course we couldn’t go to Leven without doing a wee ‘shopping’ .... both in
Sainsbury’s and the ‘Cheap Shop’. I wonder
how Brexit will affect the likes
of Lidl and Aldi in the UK?

The
weather forecast for tomorrow is not “iggzactly” inspiring; mixed up a bit like today’s was, cloudy early
with wet bits, and ending with another bonnie evening.
