Damp after overnight rain....
12th March 2023 (Sunday) 09.00.... The day began overcast and damp but....
the sky is beginning to brighten up, with blue patches coming over us; we’ll be bathed in glorious sunshine in a wee while. I wouldn’t say that I am louping aboot like a spring lamb, but I have been for the paper and down to the harbour; I’m thinkin’ this will be a ‘sort out Maggie’s office stuff’ day. I don’t feel adventurous just now.
The
shredder has been going, intermittently, for most of the afternoon.... and will
be doing the same tomorrow if it’s wet. It’s a canny job shredding out of date
paper.... and I should end up with some shelf space and a bunch o’ empty ring
binders.
I
watched Scotland v Ireland in the afternoon;
Ireland won 22 – 7. The first
half was exciting with both teams playing good rugby; however it was a different
game in the second half. Ireland upped
their game and Scotland sort of floundered and that was it.
This has been a quiet day for me.... apart from the noise of the shredder that is. I think I am recovering from the ‘flu and should be back to normal in a few more days.... and once the cold weather is past.
My
bedtime book, ‘Tractors, Kalashnikov’s and Green Tea’, is one of those book
that is hard to put down.... even when your eyelids are falling down. The Author’s (Ian Johnston) interest in
tractors, that began, as a ten year old, at Grangehill Farm when his family came to live in
Earlsferry during the war,.... makes fascinating reading. Orf to make the chocolate.... and then to
bed.
