Lonely old clock

Alas my favourite month is almost finished, the World Cup (hurrah, the Argies lost), Wimbledon, the Open championship are all over, with only a day or two left of the Commonwealth Games, that I haven't been following to be honest.

Statistically this month I have been on five runs along the coast, twice to the gym, once to the pool and the dentist, and have cut the grass for the second time today, exciting stuff eh? I have not calculated the times I've been to the work or the pub, but one only narrowly beats the other. This warm weather is to blame, you start off the day with good intentions, but the heat and humidity had me seeking cold refreshment on more than a few occassions. Maybe I'll head to the pub now actually, have tomorrow and Saturday off afterall and the heat in this flat is unbearable- yeah, windows are open. Still, I'll look back and dream of days like this in a month or two!

Was along at my parent's place in Burntisland today, a hallow shell now, uninhabited and no furniture in it, with one exception, a grandfather clock that I've not been able to sell yet. The house is to be placed on the market any day now, so I thought I'd go along and take photos and make a video. Was also shopping in Kirkcaldy and bought many tins of German lentil soup, it's one of the things, other than the beer, that I miss most about Germany. Booked flights to south west England the other night, plan on hiring a car and doing a wee tour of Devon and Cornwall in autumn, not been there since I've been 12 so it's about time. No other trips planned, but I'll be walking for a week in September and have another week off in mid December and I might go abroad then.

Bloody bluebottle is now annoyingly flying about, how come they can find the narrowest way into a room but cannot find the widest exit? Ok peeps, until August, have a cold beer waiting for me!

Here a couple of photos- of a lovely rainbow over Kinghorn, one of the garden of the house I grew up in, and one of the clock (if you want to buy it, let me know!)


PS 30 years tomorrow since I passed my driving test,  I was a talented child and started primary school next day..
