Feeling excited ....
25th
November 2018 (Sunday)
.... 07.30 It looks like being a nice
day,
though rain showers are mentioned in the weather forecast: I would like 7 hours and 50 minutes of
sunshine today. Just for a change. Sunrise is at 08.10, and looks like it could
be visible; though there is a bank of
low cloud on the horizon that could spoil things. I’m
feeling skittish.

09.00 The beach was busy this morning; and it was (I say was
because it is now raining) a pleasant morning for being on the beach. Until
the rain came. Sunrise was never going to be visible
because of the low cloud, but we had an interesting sky, and there was hardly
any wind so it wasn’t that cold. The
rain started at 08.00 and had me heading for Ivy at a fast(?) hirple. The kettle will have boiled so I’m going to
have a mug of coffee. I can’t fail with
the stuff I have now: it comes in little
sachets ... and all I have to do is add hot water. Making coffee is a dawdle. If I’ve decanted the powder from the sachet
into the mug I end up with a ‘Flat White’.
All
is not gloom with our weather; there are
blue patches in the sky, and they’re heading for the Royal Burgh so we are
going to have sunny spells.
14.30 I went out for a run in the car, up to
Balcarres but ‘rain stopped play’:
except at Kinneuchar Kirk when I went in to ‘see’ Jems.... and the sun
broke through for a few minutes. The
squally showers don’t last long but they are heavy. So it’s back to watching... either the
Brexit stuff on the tele, or playing Wii gowf. The Brexit stuff I’ve seen (it’s been on
all day) so it will be Wii ‘gowf’.

Theresa
‘wrote’ to me today (well ... she ‘wrote’ to everybody via a letter in the
papers) telling ‘me’ how fortunate I was getting this ‘Deal’ for leaving the
EU. I didn’t buy a paper today but got
the gist of the letter from the ‘News’.
One thing... actually there are a few of them... 73 over the UK 6 of them in Scotland: our soon to be extinct MEP’s. I don’t hear any of them moanin’ so I assume
they will be collaring some of the £39billion that we pay for the divorce (from
the EU), and they won’t need to look for a job. I can remember 40 odd years ago the
politicians of the time telling us that joining the EEC (European Economic Community), was the way
forward, and
we’d all be happy. Now we’re
being told that leaving the EU (the EEC ‘morphed into the EU in 1993) is the
way forward, and we’re all going to be happy.
I can’t help but think that there’s going to be a lot of unhappy people
in the UK in a couple of years: and it won’t
be the extinct MEP’s.

18.00 Tomorrow’s weather is going to be much the
same as we had today; clouds off the
North Sea, with drizzle, followed by showers and a sunny spell. Short sunny spell!
I’m
ready for the ‘Boiler Man’ coming tomorrow;
I’m hoping it will be in the morning, but it could be at any time over
the whole day. The bloke that came the
last time was not a ‘happy’ person so I’m hoping for a different one this time.
