Hmmmm .... very windy
24th
March 2019 (Sunday)
.... 09.00 there’s a frisky wind this morning,
and it’s a
cold one; furthermore, there are a lot of ragged clouds being blown over and
some of them look heavy enough to give us a shower. However, I’m feeling positive; so ‘positive that I have a jersey out on the
line!

I’ve
been out in the car.... and it is a good morning for going out for a walk up
Balcarres Den ... or some other walk that’s out of the wind. I’ll plan some activity after I’ve had
breakfast.

16.00 We’ve been lucky with the showers; only catching the edge of a couple of them.....
with insignificant wetness, so the jersey I hung out is near enough dry.
I went up to Balcarres in the afternoon and,
parking the car off the road, I walked down the Balniel road to the bridge over
the Den Burn, where I had a bumble around in the woods by the burn. I have to take my stick with me for the
rough paths etc. It was windy out in the
open but once in the wood it was warm.... and there was a feel of Spring in the
air, which, along with the sound of the
burn was very enjoyable and calming; I
wish I’d taken a picnic with me.
19.30 Wellll ...I’ve had an enjoyable weekend,
and I’m looking forward to the
beginning of a new week. It’s forecast to be less windy (and
therefore warmer) tomorrow; I might do
some work in the garden if it feels like Spring .... there’s certainly plenty
needing done; and the ‘broon’ bucket is
empty!

The ‘plan’ is to get ‘up’ with ‘Wallace and
Gromit’ in the morning and bumble down to the beach to catch sunrise. When I think about it I haven’t been down to the beach today .... I
haven’t spoken to anyone; should I be
feeling lonely ? I’m not.
I have been ‘out’ on and off most of the day.... and I feel tired, and
content, but not lonely. I must remember to take a ‘bite to eat’, and
a flask of coffee with me when I go out;
it’s warm enough to have a picnic .... when out of the wind.
