Cherry blossom time ....
30th
April 2019 (Tuesday) 07.30
it looks like we are going to have
another day like yesterday; overcast at first, followed by sunny spells when the
sun burns the cloud off .... and cool in the, seemingly persistent, easterly
breeze. I have only been as far as the
front gate but I’ll have a tour round the ‘Royal Burrow Burgh’ on the
bike, .... after another cuppa.

21.00 It’s been a busy day for this boy; and the weather has been nice, but
mistier. My morning began with a trip
round the ‘Royal Burgh’ on the bike before breakfast; and after breakfast I went to Leven to visit
Jim.... and do a shopping. Jim was
very communicative at all today, but he’d just had breakfast, and was nigh on
asleep. I’d taken in a couple of custard tarts for us
to have with our coffee, but Jim was not really in the mood, so I sat for a
while talking to one of the other residents, before bumbling off to do the
shopping.

I’d done most of the shopping in Lidl’s, before
visiting Jim, but wanted two ‘Duck in Plum Sauce’ ready meals to have in the
freezer, so had to go to Sainsbury’s for those. Sainsbury’s was quiet ... until I was ready
to checkout; of course that’s when
everybody with full trolleys decided to checkout too, so I went to the self
scan checkouts and had a great time..... the lassie i/c self scan did all the
checking out for me. I’d bought more
than two duck ready meals.
This
is ‘cherry blossom’ time and the trees in Letham Glen (Leven) are in full bloom
so I went in there to get swallowed up in the pinkness of cherry trees. Cherry trees lining the roads into Elie and
Earlsferry would look good but I suppose there will be ‘rools’ about planting
trees alongside roads now: and it would
depend on the landowner wanting to plant trees by the roadsides.
At
long last I finished cleaning the kitchen windows this afternoon..... I never have
enjoyed doing the insides: it gets
harder, and takes longer, every time. The outsides are a dawdle. I’m one satisfied and happy ‘window cleaner’
tonight.

I’ve
nothing planned for tomorrow: now I’m wondering if I should try visiting Jim
again. I’ll see how I feel after
morning coffee, and after I’ve seen Myra.
The weather is forecast to be duller with the chance of light rain later
in the afternoon, with the wind having veered to the south west.
