.... 09.00 It was bright and sunny
when I went up

for the paper, but a thin layer of cloud has come between us and
the sun since then, so although still warm it’s not quite as bright as it
was; that said it is a cracker of a morning
for doing things. There’s nae wind to
speak of, so I went to the harbour to have a walk around: Mike was down there on his bike... psyching
himself up to go back up the hill! After
this update, I’m going to do some work in the garden! Maybe.
21.30 Surprise surprise .... I did work in the
garden; and took a load of rubbish along
to the skips at the Pittenweem Re-Cycling Depot. The opening times have been changed along
there; instead of being ‘Open’ seven
days a week they are ‘Closed’ on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and at Lunch times......
and the operatives can ask you for ID to
prove that you live in Fife. The men didn’t ask for ID... I found that out,
when I went on to the Fife Direct website. “Goin’ tae the dump” is exciting stuff

nowadays. The place is immaculate....
it’s a pity they don’t have a Coffee Shop.
The trip to Pittenweem was done in the morning. I went home via Colinsburgh to top up the
car with fuel.
I
was pleasantly surprised with Chris when I went along in the afternoon. She was in bed; she broke her pelvis a few weeks ago... and
was dosing most of the time, but when she did wake up she enjoyed seeing us,
and was looking well, in spite of her ‘nae weelness’. Donald, Chris’s son, comes up from the
Borders regularly. I will go along
with him the next time he’s up. I had a
look in the Lounge for Dot or Wilma, but they must have been in their rooms.

mug(s) bunged through the dishwasher; I’m ready for the Royal Wedding tomorrow. The ‘plan’ is to be up, and out, early, then
work around the garden with breaks to see some of the Wedding action. We do ‘ceremonial’ best. The weather forecast is good for tomorrow,
and the next few days. This could be
summer.
My
thoughts and prayers are with all the families distraught with grief, because
of loved ones killed or injured at the latest High School shooting in the USA. You would think that at some point someone
is going to connect the number of weapons available, to the number of shootings
perpetrated.... and do something about it.
The present POTUS will, most likely, not be that person. Sadly,
God does not appear to be ‘Blessing’ America just now.
