Lovely crisp morning ....
22nd
March 2020 (Sunday) 09.30 ....It’s a bonnie but cold morning: I
took the car up to Elie to buy a Sunday
paper, then went took a run to the harbour, Woodhaven (holiday campervans?),
then home by way of Arncroach, Colinsburgh and Kinneuchar. I am hoping to get out on the bike later
(once the air warms up....maybe that should be ‘ if the air warms up’). I have a feeling that we older folk will be
told to totally isolate in our own homes and garden shortly ... going from what
I read in today’s ‘Observer’. ‘The
powers that be’ have seen what is happening in Italy and will issue stricter
isolation ‘rools’.

18.30 It has been a bonnie day... albeit cold. I ended up ‘working’ (well ... sort of)
instead of going out on the bike. The
roads were really busy.... and the ‘Centre of the Universe’ is busy. The only time I’m going to be ‘out’ is first
thing in the morning. Luckily I have
the computer to ‘work’ on and Skype to keep in touch with the ‘Troops’.
New
‘rools’ have been brought in for the most vulnerable people in society; they
have to stay in their houses (and
presumably gardens) for ‘at least’ twelve weeks. This is going to be long haul for older
folks with underlying problems. As for
me ... well the village was that busy with people wandering about that I didn’t
even go outside the front gate this afternoon.

I
read in the paper that President Trump regards himself as a ‘war time’
President. Didn’t he dodge the?.... yes ...he dodged the Vietnam draft! He’ll know all about ‘war’ then!
I
did one of the wee jobs that I have been meaning to do for a while .... fix the
catch on the shed door. All I have to
do is screw on the bolt and give the door another coat of paint and that job
can be ticked orf. That will be done
tomorrow. I’ve been working
so hard...no
.... not ‘hard’... more sort of steadily
than ‘hard’.... that I didn’t have a
catnap this afternoon.

Tomorrow
is going to be another sunny but cold day... but it might be slightly cloudier. The ‘plan’
for tomorrow is simple: out early then
stay in Ivy.
