Wet .... very very
9th
August 2019 (Friday) 07.00 .... the wind is from the
Northeast, it’s raining, and the sky looks like the sun is never going to be
seen again; it is not a pretty
morning. However this being Bonnie
Scotland the sun could suddenly appear.... next week.... and we’ll be worrying
about a hose pipe ban. I don’t know what the ‘Troops’ have in mind
for today.... but I will make some scones and we’ll have an Afternoon Cream
Tea: I bought a scone mix in Sainsbury’s,
it will be interesting to see how they taste;
normally I’d I use my own mix, but I read the sales blurb on the box and
that was that.

| .... the beach this morning. |
09.30 Welll .... I had the beach all to myself
this morning; no dogs taking their
owners out for a walk, no colourful joggers.... only me. Marcia, on her way back from the paper shop,
brightened the morning up.... bonnier than a ray of sunshine.... and cheered me
up no end. My mission was to get a few ‘today’
photos .... with my back to the weather, or from the shelter of the beach huts. And that is what I did. It is not
pleasant out.... definitely not a
‘good hair day’.

11.30 The ‘Troops’ are away to ‘Ainster’ and I
have made the scones. I did them as per
‘rools’... apart from forgetting to brush them with milk before bunging them in
the oven, so they’re not glossy. They
look the same as my own mix.... but I have yet to taste one. I should have got Janice and Michael to
bring half a dozen of Barnett’s scones just in case mine are cr... not
so tasty.
The
weather continues wet and drab .... though I think we should get sunny spells
later .... in between ‘thundery showers’.
At the moment it’s ’just plain old wet rain’.
15.00 My word .... we have had some rain today;
and it still comes down; but, this is good news, I detect a
few paler bits in the general greyness.... could the sun be threatening to
break through? I hope so..... because
tomorrow’s weather forecast isn’t “iggzactly” of the sun cream kind.
17.00 Rain?.... what rain? It’s
more like .... “Oh my word.... this heat;
bring back the nice cool rain of an hour ago”. It’s a warm/hot/sunshiny afternoon now, and
the beach is busy. I know this
because, like a lot of other folks I went down to the beach
as soon as the sun
broke through. This is Bonnie Scotland.... and bonnie it
is; dogs walking their owners, children
getting parents digging holes, .... hey ... nae joggers; but plenty of people just enjoying a quiet
stroll along the beach. The tide is out
so we have a lot of beach; there’s room
for everybody to do their ‘own thing’. Now I need a cuppa, and to do a Soduko in the
Hutte! I might even get the bike out
later.
