Bright and sunny ....
11th January 2022 (Tuesday) 10.30 ....We have a beautiful, ‘bright and
sunny’ morning at the Centre of The Universe; a bonnie day for a stroll .... but it is cool.
I
went to the harbour first thing; I was
going to say after I picked up the paper, but I forgot the paper.... so. I’ve been
to the harbour. Sunrise happened behind
low cloud but didn’t take long for the sun to appear above them; we now have a ‘bright and sunny’ day,.... with a light breeze so not very warm. I have a washing out, but doubt if it will
dry.... unless the wind freshens; which
it sometimes does around midday.
21.00 The sun makes a huge difference to my activity levels; today I have been busy (I’m tired now). After ‘Morrrrrning coffee’ I had a walk up to the Pony Field, taking
photos of the work activity on Ferry Road. That work appears to me nearing completion, as they are filling in the channel they buried the gas pipe in. There was a moody sky so I had an enjoyable time with the camera. By the time I got back to Ivy I was hungry, and well ready for lunch.
After
lunch and a 30 minute catnap I swept up the leaves that have been littering the
garden for weeks. There’s still some
room in the ‘broon’ bucket for more garden rubbish, so I’ll ‘hit’ the Ivy bush
tomorrow.
The
washing I hung out didn’t quite dry.... the wind didn’t freshened much .... but
it (the washing) was dry enough to iron; so I did the ironing. It was about this time that I remembered the
‘not so crispy crispies’ that I made the other day; a cuppa and
a crispy would go down well. The
‘not so crispy crispies’ have matured into ‘nearly crispy crispies (I keep them
in an air tight container) and are very tasty now. I’ll be making more of them, but with less
than four tablespoons of syrup; that was
the amount on the recipe that I used.
The Kirk Stroll’ is in St Minnins tomorrow, starting from the Kirk Hall at 10.00; the
weather forecast is, ‘breezy, with light cloud, the chance of sunny spells .... and dry.
Today’s
work effort has caught up with me, and I am totally ready for chocolate .... and
bed.
