Wet morning ....
10th
June 2020 (Wednesday) 08.30 ....’Light rain and light winds’ is the
forecast for our area today with the rain petering out by lunchtime; hopefully followed by sunny spells. There has been light rain all morning so far
but the sun is breaking through so we might have a bonnie afternoon. I went to the beach and though it was
raining it didn’t bother me too much; if
the weather does improve I might get out on the bike later.... though the forecast is for us to have 'light rain' for most of the day.

As
is my norm I went to the harbour after the ‘paper shop’ and met David down
there.... I had seen ‘Our Christine’ (David’s creel boat) on the bay when I was
on the beach. David’s was telling me
that his Dad, ‘Cameron’ had died and that the funeral was next week. Of course funerals are limited to the
immediate family. However the cortege
is going to pass through Earlsferry and go to the harbour before interment at
Kinneuchar.
11.00 The sun has been trying hard to break through
but the cloud thickens and shuts it out again;
the ‘light rain’ is still with us so it looks like no biking today. I have done one vital thing; made
up a list for Ardross which I’ll pick up.... probably tomorrow. Having done that I now think I deserve a mug
of coffee.... and a Caramel Wafer.
Small ‘flap on’ now .... got to find the Caramel Wafers.... I bought a
pack of four yesterday.

14.30 Good news..... Geoff is coming home this
afternoon; Ronnie and Christine are picking him up from
the ‘Vic’ as I type. The problem (an imbalance) has been sorted and he should
be ‘right as rain’ in ‘nae time’. The
expression ‘right as rain’ was first recorded in England 1894 ... and is thought to refer to the British
weather. I found the Caramel Wafers
.... in the car!
20.30 Geoff is back home and I have been talking
to him on the phone; he s had a really
good check over in hospital and one of his pills changed. He reckons he’ll have a rest day tomorrow.
Rest day? .... I’ve had one of those today. The rain did peter out late in the
afternoon
.... and the sun broke through for quick blink .... but was soon
hidden behind low cloud again.... and
still is. I never did get the bike
out.... however tomorrow is going to be better and I should be biking for the
paper in the morning.
