Feeling active .....
6th
August 2018 (Monday)
..... 08.00 It was sunny and warm when
I
went for the paper; now the sky looks
like we could get some light rain. If
it does rain, I don’t think it’s forecast to last long. I’m
feeling ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ today (if I was in a scurry of squirrels I'd be the one doing the chasing) .... and had decided to go out on
the bike after breakfast, arriving at Harbour House for morning coffee. The weather might put that on ‘hold’ for a
wee while. It’s not a morning for painting
the shed: the afternoon forecast looks more promising as
far as that goes. Right now it’s
breakfast time.

20.30 A ‘bright and breezy’ is coming to a close; and we never did get any ‘light rain’, though
at times it looked not that far away. In
the end I biked up to Kinneuchar, and into a stubble field, to get some harvest
photographs; then through Elie Estate, arriving
at Harbour House as it ‘opened’ for the day, where I enjoyed a ‘morning coffee,
and a chat with ‘the troops’.
With
the clouds sometimes taking on that ‘we might bring light rain’ look, I didn’t
get the paint out; I sat in the Hutte
and did a couple of Soduko’s instead.
In fact I had a lazy afternoon.
But I did do a lot of thinking and planning.
Tomorrow
morning I’ll go to Leven.... need to do a shopping, and ... get more paint. Although all the ‘work’ I do, and this
includes painting, is now painfully slow, literally, I’m determined to keep
trying to do what I can. My thinking
is “the less you do, the less you do”.
And I’m not ready to ‘retire’ just yet. Hopefully when/if I get a knee
replacement
I’ll be back to ‘normal’. In the
meantime I’ll keep exercising as best I can ...
covering a bit of territory on the bike;
including a few more stubble fields!

According
to our weather forecasters we’re going to have a short spell of cooler, and
slightly more unsettled weather. The
longer term forecast is for the next three months to be warmer than
normal; a long ‘Indian summer? I look forward to that. The shed painting I’ll ‘play by ear’. Tomorrow is a ‘shopping day’. I’ll go early and expect be back in time
for morning coffee in Harbour House.
