Plumber afternoon ....
6th
September 2018 (Thursday)
.... 08.45 It’s
chilly this morning, but
a nice enough morning for walking. There’s a lot of cloud about, but we do get
spells of sunshine now
and again: the most noticeable ‘thing’
about the weather is that there’s an autumn feel to the air. With showers being forecast for the
afternoon, I’ll not bother painting; but I could pull a few weeds.

| A quiet corner of Kinneuchar loch. |
I’ve
been down to the harbour and home by Kinneuchar (in the car); I had to go to the money machine. The paper I’ll get later .... round about
coffee time.
20.30 I’m not keen on ‘ousework afternoons but that’s what this has been for
me; I did get some ousework while waiting
for the plumber. We’ve decided that a new toilet and cistern is
required .... the one I have is dated:
and modern ones do everything, except sing and dance, when you press the button. Mind you I had to miss the ‘Drop in Cafe’. George
came along in the afternoon, and the three of us, Mike, George and me, had a
cuppa during, which time we discussed the merits of the various toilet suites
to be had.... I was surprised to find that they aren’t that expensive.

| Threatening sky. |
After
the ‘Troops’ had gone home, I noticed that we had some interesting clouds
bumbling across the sky, and decided that I’d go to the beach and get a few
pictures. In spite of knowing that the
threatening clouds were going to deposit their contents soon; me being me ... I had to stay and get the
photographs, so ... yes .... I was slightly damp when I got back to Ivy. But I remembered, and managed, to get the
camera into its bag before the rain came.
I’m pleased with the photographs;
well worth a bit of dampness.
What
am I going to do tomorrow? I’ll
probably have the morning free, but might have to stay ‘in’ in the afternoon. The weather forecast for tomorrow is a mix,
of cloud and sunny spells.... but mostly
dry. I might be able to do some
painting.
I
see that someone has been round with the spray can again... .. identifying the
pot
holes for ‘the team’ to fill in. I
must get a few photographs of Fife pot holes:
we have the best pothole collection in Scotland... and possibly the whole
of the UK. Mind you, if people that ‘evade and avoid’ paying their proper taxes, and benefit
cheats didn’t cheat, there would be enough money to keep the Health Service
healthy; and also the roads. I was going to mention the £50 billion
being invested in Trident , and two aircraft carriers, but ... it’s knowing
that I have Trident, and the big boats, keeping me safe(?) that helps me sleep
at night.
