Quiet morning ....
17th
October 2018 (Wednesday)
.... 08.30 I’m feeling peckish after my
daunder to the beach: oh ... it’s a nice
quiet morning, and has the look, and feel, of a bonnie day about it. I suppose I should have my breakfast; that will ease the hungry feeling! And I need a cuppa. I’ll potter around Ivy , sorting out the ‘Office’
until Iain arrives.

09.30 Jings .... there’s a lump of low cloud come over from
the Northwest, and all of a sudden it’s
cold and grey. It should pass over and
leave us with ‘bright and sunny’.... I’ve
got a washing going through, and do not want ‘overcast and grey’. Orf to have another cuppa!

20.00 Iain arrived about 10.00; earlier than I expected; so we were also able to do more than I had
planned. We started with a cuppa, then
had a game of bowls, before going to the harbour then out to Shell Bay to have
a wander out to Jimmy’s ‘Ponderosa’ site, then on to the Southern end of the
new golf course at Dumbarnie links.
By
the time we got back to Ivy we were starving;
and promptly had a cuppa with a cheese scone. I then set about digging a couple of
frozen macaroni meals: which I cooked in
the microwave for eleven minutes. The
macaroni was definitely hot enough.... but ...oh dear.... the top was
tough. Mind you it may have been hard
(literally) work,.... but it was tasty.
About an hour ago I remembered that, when I was in Sainsbury’s
yesterday, I bought a pack of three lamb steaks for today’s lunch. They are now being casseroled. I am a silly boy. I’ll do spuds and make two shepherds
pies. Iain and I worked our macaroni off by putting
some stuff up in the attic, and having a
game of bowls, and golf.... on the Wii machine.

I’m
tired tonight... but contented.... after a busy and happy day: I have been a bit ‘down’ since ‘JB’ went off
home. I don’t have anything planned for
tomorrow; except that I must remember
that it is Thursday... and ‘Drop in Cafe’ day!
I’ll sort out some more of Maggie’s office stuff in the morning.
According
to the weather forecast we are in for a cool night, with the early morning
temperature down to 3c.
