Busy, happy, boy ....
6th
September 2017 (Wednesday)
.... 09.00 We have a lovely, ‘bright
and breezy’ morning... and I have been a busy boy. I set the machine going with a
woollen wash,
then biked up for the paper(s). Since
then I’ve hung out the woollens, put the sheets, that I stripped off the bed
the other day, into the machine .... and
had breakfast. What a difference the
sun makes. That said... we could get
the odd shower later.... but, right now I’m enjoying the sunshine;
and the braw ‘drying, Westerly wind’.

It’s been the perfect ‘drying day’ .... in
fact I could have put the same bedding back on the bed... after a quick
iron. The jerseys in the first wash,
were dry by lunch time. It’s taken me
a while but I am getting the hang of this housekeeping thing.
After
a morning cuppa, Jimmy and I went to Leven;
Jimmy wanted to top up his
freezer.
I bought toothpaste. We went to
Lidl’s; there are roadwork’s going on at the Lidl’s roundabout which
is a hindrance.; so we avoided that
route on the way out of Leven. When I’m
in Kirkcaldy tomorrow my intention is to go to ASDA’s and have a browse,.... after my appointment at the ‘Vic’.

I
had a run up to the Barnyards Marsh in the evening; someone had tried to set fire to the sedge
and willows at the South east corner, and I wanted a photo of the damage. Luckily it didn’t catch, so it’s classed as
‘vandalism’. Had it got going there
would have been a major fire. The Police are investigating.
Most
of this day has been taken up with housekeeping duties; I ironed the washing in the afternoon....
while keeping ‘an, occasional, eye’ on the Tour of Britain. Jimmy came along for an afternoon cuppa so
we sat in the Hutte and conversed with “Blob”. There is a juvenile Robin, probably one of
Blob’s offspring, encroaching on Blob territory. This could lead to some skirmishing.... even if it is one of his own 'children'.

Transocean
Prospect is off the coast of Northeast England, being towed/guided by two
tugs; they are down to arrive off Turkey
on the 30th September. I might be able
to follow their progress most of the way .... if they are within range of land
masts... and they have their tracking system switched ‘on’.
