hands and lugs this mornin, but it is a bonnie start to what is forecast to be another lovely
day. There is some hazy cloud about but
the sun will soon burn that off: and there’s smirr of a breeze from the Northwest
so it is cool. I’ll get the bike out in
a wee while and do ‘The Grand Tour’.
10.00 It’s an absolute corker of a day; you must get out.... even if it’s to do some
gardening. I spent an hour and three
quarters photographing my way round ‘The Grand Tour’ and thoroughly enjoyed every
minute of it. Now I must do some ‘ousework
and make Ivy ready for ‘M’ arriving tomorrow.
A spot of selective dustin’ is required: but after a browse through the photos I got this
morning.... and a couple of cuppas.

20.00 It’s been a long time since I browsed the
photos I got this morning; I’ll have to
browse them again after this update. I
have been a busy boy. Davie brought
along a nice piece of teak for me to use as a sign for Ivy front gate. The wood is all cut and shaped so I have
been varnishing again. If I remember
correctly I still have some gold leaf so I’ll do the ‘Ivy Cottage’ sign with
that. Oh and I had a wee big
session of ‘ooverin and dustin’... Ivy Cottage is looking pristine....
ish; ... in places as the dustin’ was
selective. I pick up ‘M’ at ‘iggzactly’
11.29 and a half. This gives me time to
have morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse on my way along to Crail.
The
temperature dropped a bit this evening so I didn’t go out on the bike
again; and I

was tired after all the
work I’ve been doing today anyway.
Tomorrow is going to be ‘light rain showers with a gentle breeze and occasional
sunny spells’; a bit disappointing after
the last few days we’ve had. The sky
is becoming more overcast and threatening as I type; it looks like we could wake up to the ‘light
rain etc’.
The
village seemed busy this weekend.... put another way the Ferry High Street was
choc-a-bloc with cars. I’m wondering if
this was some kind of holiday weekend that I’ve missed. I feel traumatised at the thought of me working
on a holiday weekend: I need a cuppa.
