Much dampness ......
10th
June 2017 (Saturday)
.... 08.00 There’s a light rain, ...and
much wetness this morning, not a bonnie start to Saturday .... but, being
positive, there isn’t
any dust in the air.
The rain should clear away by midday to leave us with showers.... and
spells of sunshine. At least it’s sunny and warm in London ..... after
the General Election calamity, Mrs May needs ‘bright, sunny and warm’.

22.30 The late afternoon and evening has once
again been the best part of the day: the
rain did move away after lunch, but the sun didn’t break through until about
15.00: I had a washing on the line the
sun was very welcome.
I
biked along to the ‘shops’, after the rain stopped, for a paper and some ‘tautties’....
I also bought Lemsip at the Chemist. I
cannot shake off this ‘bug’ at all.
One day I feel better the next I take a step backward: however the general trend is ‘slow improvement’....
but the cough is annoying. Tonight I’ll
have a hot bath, and a ‘Janice Toddie’ before bedtime, . The ‘plan’
was to go to the Kirk tomorrow, it’s Communion at Kinneuchar, but that now
depends on how I feel. I’ll be glad to
get rid of this ‘bug’.

With
the evening being so bonnie I went for a walk along the beach and out to the 11th
green then home via Sea Tangle road and the Ferry High street. I had to take it easy because my ‘tubes’ are
stuffed, but I really enjoyed being out in, what was, warm evening sunshine. It
really is a lovely evening. The villages
are busy; I like to see folk enjoying themselves
on ‘my’ beach! I met a lady walking her dog; and
she was one happy, friendly dog, and liked having her lugs scratched ... even
dogs enjoy the ‘Elie and Royal Burgh’ air! The lady was friendly too but I didn’t
scratch her lugs!
I
saw in the local Community Council minutes that “a member of the public” had complained
about the Saltire flag being flown.
This is sad: we do live in
Scotland and there is nothing wrong with flying the Scottish Flag; indeed we should be proud to do so. When I’m down in England (Sussex) I see the
cross of St George (the English flag) being flown all over the place, including
cities. The Union Flag is the flag of
the United
Kingdom .... the individual countries of the United Kingdom, England, Northern
Ireland, Scotland and Wales have their
individual flags and are proud of them!
I’ll be flying the Maori flag tomorrow! If it isn't raining!
