“Happy St Patrick’s Day” to all
my friends in Ireland and Irish folk all
over Mother Earth ...... enjoy ‘Your’ day.

We
have a showery start to our day at the 'Centre of the Universe' ...’ sunny spells and showers accompanied by a frisky
wind’ being the forecast: I was going to
the beach but it’s raining just now so I’ll leave that until later in the day ....
there should be a lot of interesting clouds around.
I think we ‘aulder yins’ are suppose to
begin ‘self isolating’ this week...... or at least stay out of crowds. I intend going to ‘The Store’ to do a wee
shopping (we’re allowed to do that) this morning .... and I need to get a
haircut. That (the haircut) could be a problem. I wonder what I’ll look like with a pony
tail? The plan is to meet Myra and Geoff
in the ‘Diving Duck Gannet’ (St Monans) for morning coffee on the way home from ‘The
Store’.
I’ve
been talking to Jackie (Auchnagatt) on Skype .... I interrupted her starting to
work (from home) so we’re having a chat in the afternoon when she (and Iain)
are finished working. All I have to do
now is set up ‘Facetime’ on the phone and I should be visually electronically
connected to everyone; the phone is now being charged up.... I had to find it.

14.30 I had a successful ‘self isolating’
shopping at ‘The Store’.... and got everything I felt that I needed: all I have to do now is top up once a fortnight
or so at the Paper Shop/Deli. The Store
was fairly busy with older customers doing what I was doing.... getting set up
for the ‘long haul’.
We
(the Troops) had morning coffee in the ‘Diving Gannet’ and intend going to ‘arbour ‘ouse tomorrow morning. I came home by
way of Arncroach and Colinsburgh (where I topped up the car with fuel). All History Society meetings/coffee mornings
have been cancelled until further notice;
I met Rosie in the surgery at Pittenweem yesterday.
Regarding me ‘self-isolating.... well it’s more or less an enhanced version of what I’ve
been doing for the past 10 years since Maggie died. I had a practice ‘self isolate' in The Hutte
today and it was the same as what I always do;
have a cuppa, do a bit of a Soduko, read a bit of a book (I have loads
of books) and fall asleep. Regarding
the ‘spring cleaning’ ; the bookshelves are being left until the really serious
isolation begins. Cleaning the
bookshelves is always interesting.... simply because I stop and browse a book
now and again.
18.30 It has been a satisfying and enjoyable sort
of day for ‘the boy’; I will
continue to
bumble around in the car or on the bike;
early in the morning once the villages fill up.

I
was watching the New’ earlier and I’m wonder who will be getting rich because
of this virus: for instance in WW1 (as
in all wars) there were people from both sides amassing a fortune
manufacturing ‘sophisticated killing stuff’ so that the soldiers on both side
could give their lives. I have no doubt investors in drug companies
will be seeing ‘£ / $' signs in their dreams just now: 'it's an ill wind that doesn't do someone some good' right enough.
It doesn’t look like tomorrow is going to be a ‘bike’ day; Wednesday looks promising though. Tomorrow is going to be a nice enough day .... but too windy for me on the bike.
