.... we have a cracker of a mornin’ after a

touch of light frost so there is ‘nip
in the air: once the sun gets higher in
the sky it will be warmer. Having said that
there are clouds about so it will be ‘sunny spells’ for a while; I was hoping for a prolonged sunny spell! There was one other person on the
beach; a jogger out for his early
morning exercise. Nae ‘dog walkers’?
.... right enough it was early.
I’ve
been for the paper.... and remembered to buy onions (Cottage pies) and milk
(Cornflakes and cuppas) .... so I can now settle down for the remainder of the
day. The ‘plan’ is to do the Cottage
Pies for freezing; (they will have to be
done in two batches) .... and take some time out on the bike around about midday
when (hopefully) the temperature will be more amenable ....I don’t like cauld lugs.

20.30 The weather turned a bit ‘iffy’ after
midday....overcast and cold. I had
spent the morning in Ivy doing the first batch of (3) Cottage Pies for the
freezer; tomorrow I will do the last
batch .... two for the freezer and one for ‘the boy’
I went for a short walk in the afternoon and met Ken and Irene going
out for their exercise; there was a few people on the beach when I
eventually got reached the dunes .... so we are all trying to keep reasonably
fit during this ’stay at home and stay safe’ three months. It wasn’t the warmest afternoon for being
out but it is forecast to be really warm on Sunday with the wind coming from
Southern climes. This would normally be
a busy time of year in the villages but with the ‘stay at home’ rule they (the
villages) will be quiet, because the folks have to literally ‘stay at home’. Actually I am enjoying the quiet roads when

out on the bike; I can relax and enjoy
being out even on the streets..... but I do miss the random conversation
opportunities that visitors offer.
Apart
from working in the kitchen I don’t have a ‘plan’ for tomorrow; the weather forecast is not exciting....
overcast and not very warm.... so it looks like I won’t be biking. However I will do some work
around Ivy after I finish the Cottage Pies;
I blame the Queen Bumble bees for me ‘working’.... they made me feel
guilty!
