Early showers ....
18th
May 2020 (Monday) 06.30 .... My first thought when I looked out
of the
bedroom window was “go back to bed and
have another 8 hours kip-a-roonie””.
The sky was grey and it had been raining. However when I actually went outside (having
had a shower and put on some claes) I saw that the sky was breaking up from the
Northwest and it was no longer raining (thought everything was wet); it’s going to be a bonnie day and I am
feeling frisk... but we could have a few rain showers yet.

08.30 I have been feeling ‘romantic’ this morning...
full of the urge to share my stupidity with some innocent lady; so I have decided to name my camera ‘Miranda’. Ye Gods I’m full of cuddly romance this morrrrrrrrrrrrning.
In
the meantime the sky is trying hard to break up and give us that bonnie day
that I mentioned earlier. I’ve been
for the paper and at the harbour (with ‘Miranda’) now I am ready to do
things. Well after a cuppa i.e.
10.30 As per forecast we have a bonnie day and I plan to go out on the bike after a light, mid morning snack (I’m starvin’ having been on the go since 05.30). I can’t go into any of the estates because the roads/tracks will be wet but I can bumble my way around the villages and Kinneuchar .... perhaps even Colinsburgh. It depends on how the mood takes ‘us’. It’s warm in the garden just now, but it is windy so will be slightly less warm out in the open. ‘Flap on’ .... done things; can go out to play for a wee while now.

19.00 My word I’m tired after a busy (and
productive) day. I’ve been mostly busy
on the computer but some of that ‘work’ is mair tiring than working in the
garden. I did manage to get out on the
bike in the afternoon: it was rather
cloudy when I set off but the sun broke through them and it was pleasantly
warm. I went up to Kinneuchar then home
via Elie Estate. I was surprised to
find the estate road wasn’t very wet at all.
I met Stewart at the boathouse;
he had been cutting the grass.
I caught up with
all his ‘news’ before setting off for the harbour and
freeing Stewart to do more work.

There’s
been a lot of lovely clouds around today (even the threatening ones... in fact
especially the threatening ones) so I managed to take a few photos of them.
It
looks like tomorrow’s weather is going
to be much the same as today’s was; ‘a
chance of precipitation in the early part of the morning’ followed by cloudy
with sunny spell in the afternoon. I
should get my computer stuff finished.
