Sometimes warm and cosy ....
13th
July 2020 (Monday) 08.30 .... My word .... this heat is just
too
much; roll on the cool days of
autumn. That was earlier .... when we
had a lovely, warm and sunny, start to the morning, but the sky has clouded over
since then and by the time I got back to Ivy the temperature had dropped by 2
degrees Celsius. (I am using the word ‘Celsius’ because it is
shorter than ‘Centigrade’; having said
that I’d have been quicker writing ‘Centigrade’ that writing all this ... information).

It’s a nice morning and it should be really
warm by lunch time.
I’ve
been for the paper .... only thing is I forgot to go and actually get it, having got into a state of excitement with
the bonnie sky as I bumbled my way round the villages. You will be glad to know that everything is where it should be: Now I am well ready for breakfast.

21.00 I have actually done some physical work in
the garden today... but I was forced to take cover in The Hutte (where I promptly
fell asleep) when a heavy shower came over.
After another bit of gardening later in the afternoon, I went up to
Chapel Green on the bike for a bit of relaxation. I was
surprised to see the beach so busy then I remembered... it is the holiday
season. It’s good to see the villages as they should
be at this time of year but the virus is always at the back of my mind so I can
never totally relax. Of course most
folks can have a shared bubble now, but I am still in my own bubble (there’s
plenty folks like me). In my bubble there’s
me my camera and the bike, so I’m happy enough.... and I do meet and talk to
folk when I’m out so I’m not ‘lonely’:
alone maybe but not lonely. But it is good to see things getting back to
some kind of ‘normal’ for the younger folk.
I’ve
had a satisfying and slightly tiring day today;
tomorrow is going to be cloudier in
the morning with sunny spells in the
afternoon and it’s going to be breezy again so not as warm as it should be at
this time of year. I intend doing some
more work in the garden. There’s going
to be a heap of stuff ready to go into the ‘broon’ bucket as soon as it’s emptied
on Friday.
