Autumnal air ....
13th
August 2019 (Tuesday) 06.30 .... There’s not much cloud about,
so we should
have a nice long sunny spell day.... though it is cooler than it’s been of
late; definitely autumnal. Michael and
Janice are getting ready to go to Edinburgh, I’m going to take the bike up to
Elie and get a photo or two of them at the bus stop.

08.00 Been out, and it is cool on the hands. Michael and Janice are on their way to
Edinburgh.... and I am nearly ready to take the car to Leven. Clearing the breather hole won’t be a big
job, but it depends on when they can do it.
I’ll have a slow walk down to Sainsbury’s cafe and have a cuppa.

20.30 It has been a bonnie day, and a busy one for
me. I took the car along to Leven, but
they found nothing wrong with the breather hole. It must be the way I hold the nozzle when
re-fuelling. I shall experiment. I visited ‘Jimbo’ after I’d finished with
the garage; he was looking ‘lost’ when I
first sat down, but, once switched ‘on’ he knew what/who, I was talking about....
and we had a two way conversation.... about how busy the ‘Royal Burgh’ is just
now. I only stayed with Jim half an
hour as the Staff were beginning to get organised for lunch. I said to Jim that I’d bring ‘M’ in to see
him; he remembered who ‘M’ is and that
she comes from New Zealand; and
originally from Cellardyke.
Michael
and Janice arrived back from Edinburgh about 19.00; they had an enjoyable
day. Edinburgh was busy.... it always is, but
especially so at Festival time.

We
had a couple of splashes of rain in the afternoon, but nothing to bother about. I had washed the towels, but had taken them
in before the first shower. I’m a
contented boy.... albeit a tired one.
When I take the car to the garage I walk down to Sainsbury’s then back
up... with frequent stops... but my knee is not a happy knee tonight. I’ll make an appointment with Dr Marsden to
see if a knee replacement is advisable.
That said, since I got the battery assisted bike my horizons have
widened, and I can get to the places I want to with the camera. There is no pressure on the knee when
biking.... not with the e-bike.
It’s
forecast to be cloudier tomorrow with the chance of a shower later ... nothing
new there then. I don’t have anything ‘planned’; though I will most likely go out early on the
bike; might even do the ‘grand Tour’.
