this morning, but it is a bonnie morning, if slightly cold. Although there isn’t much of a

wind at
all, and therefore not really a ‘drying
day’, I have a washing going through the machine. I had thought of doing some things in the
garden this morning,.... but it’s cauld. The afternoon is taken care of, as we have
the ‘Drop in Cafe’; so what will I do with the morning? Of course .... I could go to the beach!
21.30 My morning was easily ‘filled’; I went to Harbour House, with Myra Jim and
Geoff.... and ... Harbour House was busy;
with two tables full of
‘girlfriends’. Harbour House is always
a happy place to have coffee/tea. When
I got back to Ivy I

pruned the Clematis, (note to me.... must get a haircut next week) and filled the
‘broon’ bucket, with clematis bits.
The
‘Drop in Cafe’ was busy this week; of
course we had two weeks news to catch up on.
Everyone has recovered from the winter weather, and enjoying this spell
sunny weather. That said, when i came
out of the ‘Cafe’ it was to discover a rain shower passing over ... and ... I
had my washing on the line. Luckily I
was back in Ivy before it got really wet..... it will be a nice ironing job.
This
evening, the History Society had an interesting presentation/ talk on the
sinking of the SS Avondale Park .... the last ship to be sunk by the enemy in
WWII. The speaker, Glen Jones, kept
the audience enthralled with an interesting, and entertaining history of the ‘Avondale’
from her launch in Nova Scotia, in early 1944, to her demise, southeast of May
Island on the 7th May 1945. We had
coffee /tea after the talk; and

much
chat. This has been a good day, with
loads of chatting. I have enjoyed ‘today’
..... I think my ‘penguin’ knees are getting back to normal.
Our
weather is to me ‘more of the same’ tomorrow, but windier: Saturday brings a change ..... rain. I’ll hang my washing out again tomorrow
morning .... and do the ironing on Saturday! Jim and I will go to Harbour House for
coffee in the morning tomorrow; Myra is
otherwise engaged and is leaving Jim in charge.
