Bed delivery ....
25th
October 2018 (Thursday)
.... 09.30 we have another lovely
morning.. ‘breezy with spells of sunshine’.... at the Centre of the
Universe. Pre- sunrise sky was
bonnie, though not of the spectacular kind;
subtler colours and bonnie in a different way. The moon was setting as the sun was rising
which made life interesting; moon- set is
a much quieter event than sunset! I enjoyed
my morning stroll, and arrived back at Ivy to find a message on the answer
machine to say that the bed will be delivered between 10.00 and midday. I’ll have to make my own morning coffee,
but will be free for the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon.

13.30 The bed delivery van arrived at 10.50,
having travelled all the way from the Depot at Ayr. They
men put the bed together, and were ‘on their way’ by 11.10.... having declined
an offer of the Hutte Finest coffee.
They had more deliveries to make on the way back to Ayr! Imagine having travelled all this way and
not wanting a mug
of the Hutte Finest! I wonder?.... has rumour of my coffee making
abilities travelled as far as Ayr?
Anyway the bed is in place; all I
have to do is buy a pair of sheets etc.
I might do that tomorrow: got the 'Drop in Cafe' this afternoon.
20.00 The ‘Cafe’ was busy today; loads o’ tea and chat. Very enjoyable. I washed the single bed downy covers today,
having bought washing powder the other day.
I discovered that one of the single downy’s is in fact a double; no wonder I’ve been having some difficulty
getting it into the cover! Oh well .... I only need one single now
anyway! And I’ve got spare double. I’ll buy sheets the first time I’m out shopping. |

There
must be a change on with the weather; I’m feeling about as active as a fat
ferret. It’s just as well that I don’t
have a plan for tomorrow... not yet anyway.
Should I sort out all the bedding that
we have? .... and see what I actually need. Maggie has bedding all over the place; oh ... some of that may be curtains! I’m thinking a ‘trip to the skip’ might be
on the cards. In the meantime I’m
going to make myself a cuppa, and have some contemplation time.

The
temperature is forecast to start dropping tomorrow.... and it’s going to be
cold over the weekend into Monday: Should be good drying weather for the washing.
