Serene kind of morning ...
9th
December 2018 (Sunday)
.... 09.30 It’s a gorgeous morning...
sunny, with hardly any wind, ‘serene’ would be the best way to describe
it. I met Keith out walking his dogs
on the beach; Keith and his wife Jo,
bought Philip’s house, and have, over the past couple of years transformed it. Keith,
Jo, and the dogs love ‘The Ferry’... and spend a lot of their time here.

Hey I’d better get a move on .... I’m supposed
to be going to the kirk this morning.
17.00 Oops .... handle fell off my bedroom door. It’s been threatening to do that for a while
...in fact about the same length of time that I have been threatening to ‘fix
that ... tomorrow’. ‘Tomorrow’ was
today, because I went to B ‘n Q’s to get a replacement handle, and the door has
been ‘fixed’. I'm a bundle of action once I get started.
20.00 I’m contented tonight though I don’t know why, because, apart from fixing the door handle, I haven’t done that much. Not physical stuff anyway. I did have a couple of short walks, one on the beach to see the sunrise, and one to the golf course to see the sunset. I ate food at regular intervals... and I’ll have another cuppa after this update.
14.30 It was Communion at Kinneuchar so the kirk
was fairly busy. The Minister was excellent,
he used ‘Lord of the Rings’ in his sermon... and was the second man in the kirk
not wearing a tie! The hymns weren’t of
the ‘gie it laldie’ kind; I left the singing
to Moira and Brian in front of me .... and Sadie. I just flapped my lips, soundlessly, at the
appropriate times. The Minister probably
thinks I’m a good singer because I flapped my lips with feeling! I didn’t get to the kirk in time to have
coffee/tea before the service: however, I
always have a couple of digestive biscuits in my pocket... and a bottle of
water: emergency rations in case I feel
hungry. I didn’t. Feel hungry i.e.

What’s
the plan for tomorrow? Well I have an appointment
at the surgery at 09.00 and after that I need to go to the PO in Ainster. Harbour House is closed on Monday’s and
Tuesday’s so nae morning coffee. My own coffee has vastly improved since I
began
buying the Flat White sachets; all
I have to do is add hot water. Even I
can’t get that wrong. Actually I
could... the water has to be boiled then allowed to cool for a few minutes!
