Beautiful, fresh, morning ....
27th
July 2017 (Thursday)
.... 08.00 The first thing I noticed
when I went out was how ‘brisk’, autumnal the West wind was; a really nice ‘get up and go’ morning. I went up to the Pony Field for my morning
walk for a change, which,
being exposed is why I noticed the wind,.... especially
when the sun was obscured by the clouds.
Of which there are many: and, I
could see showers over towards Dunfermline way so we might get a few coming our way later in the day.

20.30 I enjoyed my trip to Leven; but I didn’t get a haircut because the
Hairdresser was booked up with appointments.
I’ll get a haircut next week.
After doing some shopping in Leven High
Street, I went round to Sainsbury’s, where I got everything on the short list
I’d made .... and a lot of stuff that wasn’t.
On the short list i.e..... actually, I nearly did a shopping without
buying any ‘rubbage’ .... however, there’s always a few small edibles that
catch my eye.... today it was tins of Smoked Mackerel, and chocolate biscuits.
The
months of July and August are the two worst months for my being ‘stressed out’ ....
because that’s when the parking is a
real lottery. About the only thing you
can guarantee is that you won’t get back into the space you went out of. Of course it is the same for locals, and
visitors alike who don’t have off street parking .... and
therefore a stressful
situation all round; however you will
always find someplace to ‘moor up’ .... eventually. Anyway I’d been stressed out all morning, so
went up to the Sainsbury’s Cafe for a relaxing cuppa. Nearly everyone will know that one of the
best ways to get rid of stress is by chatting;
and, just how lucky was I, when I discovered that the lady immediately in front of me in the
Cafe queue was ..... Monica! Monica
managed to get a table by the window, where I joined her and we chatted. Where was Alistair? He was busy working like a slave around the
house. By the time Monica and I went
our separate ways, ‘stress’ was just a six letter word .... Monica is a good
listener! I can say that because,
when I got back to Ivy I didn’t have to go down to the beach to ‘ambush’ some
innocent beach walker for conversation!
Monica would make a lovely
President ... of the Rural perhaps? I
hope Alistair got all his ‘ousewifely deeds done! Oh ... and I did get the car ‘moored up’
.... and, not far awfie from Ivy.

My
afternoon was spent filling up the ‘broon’ bucket, and making a chicken Korma for
dinner. This ‘Korma’ was a ‘different’
variety and was spicier than I usually have .... but tasty nonetheless. I shall drink copious amount of tea over
the evening.
Tomorrow’s
weather looks like being a repeat of today’s .... but warmer; and with the chance of showers in the
afternoon. We didn’t catch any showers
today... so hopefully it will be the same tomorrow.
