Lovely morning ....
20th July 2022 (Tuesday) 07.30 .... Another lovely morning, warm with a light
breeze.....it’s 20C on the garden thermometer. I’m going to start my day with a run to the West Braes then do Elie ‘arbour, and pick up the papers, on the way home. I had ‘Red Wasp’ (vespula rufa) in the bathroom this morning; funny little things. They are mini wasps that kind of fly like hoverflies, and sound like a big mosquito. They are not rare in the UK, but are uncommon in the East of Fife. I don’t know where the nest is, but it isn’t in Ivy garden.
10.30 I’ve had a brilliant morning, catching up
with all the Pittenweem ‘news’ when I met Wullie Wood at the West Braes. When I was walking I used to meet Wullie on
the Coastal Path between Pittenweem and St Monans regularly; so I never got to Elie ‘arbour. I am well up to date with Pittenweem and Ainster news though and I
enjoyed meeting Wullie again.
The pool at Pittenweem had a good number of the ‘Menopausal Mermaids’ in it: both Wullie and I would have waited until a couple of hours after high tide to give the water a wee bit o’ time to warm up.. which is the whole idea of a tidal pool. However everyone appeared to be enjoying their refreshing ‘dook’.
20.00 I can hardly believe how tired I’ve been
today; it’s not as if I’ve been ‘working’,
so I assume it’s the culmination of the past two hot days ... and hot restless nights. I’m hoping for a decent night’s sleep
tonight.
‘The
Team’ enjoyed Geoff’s birthday lunch in the 19th Hole; good food, good company and a good place to eat. Our next ‘birthday’ is in December.
With the heat of the day being past I am beginning to feel brighter... but I don’t think I’ll
venture out.... unless I take a short wander up to the seat at the 17th green after I Skype ‘M’. That reminds me; I’d better make a cuppa before I fire up Skype.
I’m
going to make the chocolate now, then see what I can find to watch on the tele. Tomorrow is going to be a ‘rest’ day.
