warm sunshine... and the sky is ‘wall to wall’ bloo. There is cool breeze from the east, which
is not a bad thing because the temperature is forecast to get up to around
22c. The good news is that my voice is
in grand fettle; so, I’m going to reclaim ‘my gallery’ at the
church. I was practicing in the
shower (giving Nicky Tams laldie) and I’m happy to announce that my singing
voice is as bad as it has ever been. Yes ... I am ready for ‘today’. Oh
.... my auld ... er .... not as
young as they used to be bones have recovered from the overworking they got the
other day. I won’t be doing that (overworking
dem bones) again! That said I am
biking up to the kirk so ‘dem bones’ might not be too happy tonight. Off to get
myself some breakfast: I slept ‘in’
this morning.
Oh
... There is absolutely no connection between my going to the kirk, .... and
the picnic on the Toll Green after the Church Service.

17.30 This boy(?) has had an enjoyable day. For a start the weather has been
perfect.... ‘bright and sunny’ with a cool breeze. It was 23 in Ivy garden this afternoon....
but it is sheltered. The Church Service was excellent, and, having ‘my’
gallery to myself, I was able to give
the hymns ‘laldie’. A couple of them
(the hymns) were of the ‘laldie’ kind;
in fact one was to the tune of ‘Rowan Tree’. ... a favourite Scottish
waltz tune of Maggie’s. After the Service I had to attend the ‘picnic’
on the Toll Green: it would have been
naughty to let the girls down. The girls depend on the ‘boys’ scoffing all the grub that they, the lovely
girls, produce.... and serve. The
picnic was well attended and everyone had a good time, on a day made for
picnicking. I took a few, general, photographs. I did not enjoy biking back home; too many cars, and some of them didn’t
appear to notice me on the bike. It’s
that season again. Having said .... that
most of the car drivers are considerate.
20.00 The first of July has been a real summer’s
day; okay ... there has been that

cool
onshore easterly, but we are used to that and dress accordingly. Tomorrow is forecast to be much the same
.... only cooler. I don’t have
anything planned for tomorrow: only that
I must get up early and have a walk on ‘my’ beach. I haven’t been down there at all
today: too many strangers about for
this shy boy.
