painting, and
... surprisingly .... I am ‘in a painting mood’. That
could wear off... because it’s also a bonnie day for going out with the camera. I’ve been on the beach.... it was serene; and I’m happy with this morning’s beach
photos. I had to go up for the papers
early as we had run out of milk; can’t
have Cornflakes without milk.
16.30 Amazing ‘news’..... ‘JB’ and I have been busy boys today; .... we
painted the front of ‘Ivy’. This is really only the preparatory coat,
but this would see it through the winter:
unless a really nice day comes before then, and I feel ‘in the mood’ for
doing it. The next time it will be
done mostly with a paint roller. It has
been the perfect day for painting: but I
missed ‘morning coffee’ in Harbour House, and the Friendship Lunch. The weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘nae
bad’ ... but showers are mentioned for our area, so no painting. Anyway I’ll sleep well tonight. That reminds me: sleeping on the two bunk mattresses turned
out to be OK. It was like

sleeping on
a water bed.... and I actually had a comfortable night’s sleep.
We’re
eating out this evening; at the ‘Ship
Inn’, so no food to prepare. I’m the
driver tonight. I wonder why that is?
23.00 John and I had a pleasant evening in the ‘Ship
Inn’... including an excellent ‘Bar Supper’.
‘JB’ treated me because I allowed him to help me paint the outside of ‘Ivy
Cottage’. This has been a perfect day
for painting outside; and for doing
anything outside.
We
have no ‘plan’ for tomorrow; however, I
think ‘JB’ intends going for a decent walk.... something he can’t do when I’m
tagging along. I’ll go for morning
coffee when I pick up the papers; in the
afternoon, if the weather is amenable, we’ll take the car over to Shell Bay and
have a walk over to see the new Dumbarnie

Golf Course. John is going off home on Friday: he’s taking the train to London and stopping
there for a few days with friends.
