Cool and overcast ....
5th
August 2018 (Sunday)
..... 07.30 There’s a brisk, and cool,
Northwest
breeze this morning; having said that, when I was on the beach,
the sun was behind clouds so it should become warmer when the sun is higher in
the sky. The beach was quiet....no
joggers, and only one dog walker, .... along at the Black Wa’.... probably Jim
with ‘SD’. I ‘plan’ to have a quiet day,
pottering around the garden; I might
even start painting the outside of The Hutte.... that will be a challenge. Accepting, and adapting to ‘older age’ is not
trouble free; especially as, right now, I’m
feeling lively.

| Gorgeous evening. |

| The beach at 19.00. |
20.30 Wellll ..... I have had a good day; I did a washing, .... and started painting
the ‘Bike Shed’. Today I nearly used
up the last of the bucket of paint that I had in the shed; I’ll
buy another bucket (of paint) on Tuesday, when I’m in Leven for a haircut, and do
any shopping that I need. It has been
a perfect day for painting; in fact, at
24c in Ivy garden it was too hot, so I
abandoned the painting and had a cuppa, in the Hutte, until the temperature
dropped a bit. The paint dries that
quickly that I can give it three coats.
The
Ferry Road sounded busy with vehicles this afternoon: probably people out for an afternoon on the
beach. It has been a good day for the
beach.... and for painting sheds.
We
have a really still, and peaceful, evening.
I’ve been up to Chapel Green... checked the car on the way up ..... and enjoyed
a leisurely walk out Sea Tangle road, then home by Chapel Green and the Ferry
High Street. The beach was busy, on what is a bonnie evening. The forecast is for us to get light rain
overnight and early morning. I haven’t
watered the roses so I’m depending on this ‘light rain’. Tomorrow should be overcast at first with
bright spells later. If the rain doesn’t
linger, and everything dries up, I’ll continue with painting the shed, and
pottering in the garden.

| The apple tree. |
Jimmy
enjoyed counting the apples on the tree;
this year the tree has excelled itself and there are well over a hundred
apples. They are smaller this year,
but I think they could be tastier.
Last year I made Eve’s puddings with the few that survived the
Blackbird..... they weren’t good to eat off the tree; not crisp enough for me.
