Cloudy ....

3rd June 2026 (Wednesday)     09.00 .... We have a a quiet, cloudy, start to the day;  and heavy

showers forecast, with the chance of thunder.    It doesn't look like being a good drying day..... and I have one sheet to wash.    Friday looks more promising as a drying day,   Today's plan? .....  make an appointment to get my haircut;  it's beginning to bother me.

10.15    Haircut organised (12.00), and the last piece of bedding (sheet) in the washing machine.   I don't expect it will be out on the line today, but I'll see what the weather is doing later;  at the moment it's cloudy, but not raining.

14.30    The rain showers have been with us since 11.30, with very short intervals between showers:  in fact I's say we've had one long shower, of varying intensity, since 11.30.   It's wet!   

I feel much better now that I've had a haircut;  in fact I feel better almost 'bright eyed and bushy tailed'.  Vicky  (Woodcock) was at Lorraine's, and told me that today was the Friendship Lunch in the Kirk Hall;  so, after my haircut, I set off to the Kirk Hall;  looking forward to seeing everyone again.    

However, the parking situation at the Kirk Hall is not the best, and the nearest place I found was on Woodside Road:  too far for me to walk in the rain (at the speed I now walk at).   If it hadn't been raining it would have been fine, but the rain was heavy at the time.   I went home and made a chicken slice sandwich.   It wasn't the same as it would have been in the Kirk Hall;  but it was tasty.   And I was hungry.
