are you awake?

 

of course she does

 

Whilst I was strolling through the village listening to the cuckoo and assorted other flappy things, a lawn mower coughed into life and shattered the blissful sounds. 

Eve on the other hand has cycled down to the community polycrub to throw water about and sing a song to the peas about growing big and fat. It's a lovely song and I'll get Eve to record it and I'll post it here [in your dreams].

The snap was taken THEN not now. It's on film from a little plastic camera.

Oh and don't forget the Giro D'Italia is happening now. As you might imagine, they are in Bulgaaria atm.

bowls

 

When I was young and lived in Bath, Somerset I remember going along to Victoria park and seeing these old people playing bowls. Now aged 70, here I am.

The only trouble here is that it still has a biting cold breeze despite the sun. However, Eve and I played o'er on another island yesterday - and indoors.

racey

 

We may have booked a trip to Glasgow later in the year. There's a big cyclo-cross being held there and I am hoping to sample the bier and frite they usually have on sale at such events. Hopefully there will be a great atmosphere as there is at events over the water in that there foreign.

Here's a snap from a road race in Englandshire some years back. It was cold I recall.

ooof

 

For some reason the sun has been shining. I managed a short game of bowls and two [albeit short]bike  rides since we last spoke and I feel quite good for a change. I might even "push the boat" out and play a game of bowls next week on an adjacent isle where there is a cafe next door. 

The tourists are around the island now, campervans and all. As it happens the main ferry to Lewis is less than perfect atm restricting it's carrying capacity. [saddish face 😆].

another month

 

It must be time for another cuppa since the sun has been shing yet the breeze cool.

Give me a moment while I search for my mojo which I seem to have lost down the back of the settee.

beach

 

We had been to a community cafe, met some people we knew and talked a bit. A lot actually then passed the unfinished house on the hill, past the houses by the waters edge then up a steep narrow road to the beach. That's the sort of thing we do these days. 

The weather was nice. The beach was really quiet with the waves behaving themselves and the bell in the water unrung. We were there at the opening  too but as yet have not heard the bell ring.
