July 2020 (Thursday) 10.00 .... My word .... what fantastical
morning;
 |
| Elie Bay. |
which is why I am so late
updating The Hutte. I set off on the
paper run at 06.20 and got back to Ivy (with a paper) at 08.05.... and I’ve
only been round the villages. In that
time I manage to take 209 photographs.... but have binned about 30. I have loads to really sort out later. There was hardly a breath of wind, the
water was like a mirror (near enough) and the air was warm. I’m a happy boy.
21.30 I’ve had a busy a happy .... and busy
day. It has been a lovely day... until
now; it’s starting to ran as per
forecast but it should have passed over us by tomorrow morning. I hope to go for the paper on the bike so
that I can do the villages and Kinneuchar loch if there’s nae wind.

| Myra. |
I
had a trip to the beach after my morning coffee; just to the seat on the bents. Myra was going to be walking along to the
shops so we had a blether and watched the folk setting up for a day by the
seaside, and others out for a leisurely stroll:
it looked like the beach was going to be busy. Myra set off to the shops and I went back to
Ivy and did a spot of gardening; and
lounging around in The Hutte.
Yesterday
I ordered a set of coloured pencils: I
feel that I need a greater choice of
different shades of colours than the twelve I have at present. Colouring in is very relaxing.... but this
first picture that I’m working on is complicated.... and I only do a wee bit
now and again which explains why it’s taking so long. There’s a book-full of complicated pictures
hence the order for a set of pencils.
We
over 75’s are going start paying for our TV Licence (£157) from August. I wonder
 |
| The 'harbour' girls. |
if this means we’ll be able to
watch sport events without booze, betting or a multitude of advertisements for unwanted
and unneeded cra .... er stuff.
My reasoning is; there’s
advertising all over ‘sports’ events on the BBC anyway so why don’t they go the
whole hog and scrap the licence and go for advertising revenue so that none of us have to pay a licence. Moan over:
I’m looking forward to another lovely quiet day tomorrow.
