Really lovely morning ....
5th
May 2020 (Tuesday) 06.30 .... there are still a few low level
clouds about,
and a thin layer of higher mackerel clouds
... we have a bonnie sky at the start of a bonnie day. I have yet to go for the paper but will be doing that after I have
another cuppa; it’s a morning for taking
a turn round the villages before doing a spot of Hutte painting. That is going to be a gentle pursuit now
with loads of breaks ... I’ve decided that my muscles can longer cope with ‘breengin’ at things.

09.00 It is chillier than I expected it to be
this morning; in fact Ian (paper shop)
was saying that some folks had to scrape the frost off their car windscreens. The temperature has risen since then and
it should be warm by midday which is when I’ll go out again: I did mean to go through the estate this
morning but changed my mind ‘cos it would be really cauld in the shade. There’s only a light wind (from the
Northeast) so not much wind chill; it’s
the direction that’s keeping the temperature down. The Hutte will be warm so I will make
myself a cuppa and browse the paper.

19.30 The sun has been out all day....
unfortunately accompanied by a cold and brisk wind from the ENE so it has been
a wrap up well kind of day. I’ve been
feeling sluggish all day so I didn’t do any painting. I did manage to go round Elie Estate on the
bike, but it was cauld on the lugs and I was glad to get back to Ivy.
Alan
brought a fillet of fish along and a rhubarb crumble pudding. I had one half of the fillet for dinner and
the aroma of the rhubarb crumble is beginning to excite my taste buds; it has another five minutes or so to go. Thanks Alan... ‘puku’ (Maori for stomach) is
contented and will be even more content after I have the rhubarb crumble.
21.00 Jings it feels like winter is coming
back; I’ve been out locking up the Hutte
etc. and there is a right wintry feel to
the wind. Tomorrow was forecast to be
warmer than today but that must be away from the North Sea coast. I very much doubt if Alber will be going
out on the bike if it’s this cold tomorrow.
Brenda
is one lucky girl having Alan making rhubarb crumble for her; my word it is
tasty. I thought about scoffing the whole crumble
but I remembered that rhubarb can ... er ... has a cleansing effect. Anyway I have sweet for tomorrow .... and
the ither half of the fillet. That’s
tomorrow’s food well taken care of.

plans for tomorrow though the forecast is good. It really depends on ‘iggzactly’ how cold it
is.... they are forecast snow on the hills before the weekend....but I will
take the bike out to go for the papers.
