.... 08.30 Mmmmm .... we have rain,
accompanied by a brisk wind, so not a very nice morning. There were spits and spots

when I went up to the ‘Paper Shop’, but it was ‘proper’
rain by the time I got back to Ivy.
The bike is back in the shed... and I have the kettle ‘on’; it looks like we’re in for a wet morning .... at
least.
21.30 We did end up with some sunny spells after
lunch; however a few showers crept in
during the evening to spoil it. I set
out to go up to the Pony Field/Quarry but saw a heavy shower coming my way, and
remembered getting caught out up there not

long ago; so .... I went back to Ivy and had a
cuppa! The shower
didn’t touch the ‘Royal
Burgh’.... ‘sod’s law’ I suppose .... I could have had my walk. I’m ‘in residence’ now, and that’s where I’m
going to stay ... there’s another dark
cloud towards the West. I’ll get ‘up’
early in the morning and go out on the bike.
I’ve
had a quiet day by my standards; though
I did a spot of gardening after the ‘broon bucket’ was emptied. I did get the bike out in the afternoon, with
the intention of going out, but the roads were busy, and it was fairly
breezy; that’s when I decided to do some
gardening. Not too much gardening ....
I didn’t want to risk a muscle injury.... so I, unconsciously, ended up in the
Hutte, where I did a Soduko; and drank
the cup of tea that I’d ‘unconsciously’ made, before I ‘unconsciously’ entered
the Hutte. Yep .... I can spell “unconsciously”
after all!

Nae red line! Jimmy arrived later in the afternoon so I
had to have another cup o’ tea ....I’ll need to get a kettle in the Hutte.
Apart
from getting ‘up’ and ‘out’ in the morning, I have ‘nae plan’ .... the weather forecast
is good for tomorrow; “bright spells
with the chance of a shower or two”: I’m
thinking positive .... any showers that
are around, will miss us. If it is showery in the morning Sainsbury’s
could be an attractive mission.
