Town wandering and paperwork

 On the bus to post a fleabay sale..just a paperback copy of "The Ballad of Sad Café".     High time I listed more things.. possibly not just on that site...but the organisation is ok, I don't have to do any of the finances so it is convenient.

Then a wander around town..I was hoping for a text from a person working in town...but as he hadn't texted me at the time his lunch break started I came home.




The site of the old fishmarket 
Then looking towards the Auld Brig...now just pedestrian 







After lunch, three hours of sorting filing and pulling out bank statements and house bills from before April 2022. Plus organising my pensions file, present and history.

Just one bank to do, but most of that is online so not a big job.

Now I'm going through the recycling taking out personal details. They will be composted!!


Not yet what else to do apart from supper, which won't take long.

There's always something..even if it is catch up with the mending!!

The Fishmarket stone is so so clever.

Looks like an interesting place, with some great local stories behind the buildings.
When you have finished all that admin can you help me sort mine out please???

Yes. You are observant. Doing my best not to be. I don't want to be sorry for myself.
But boy do I miss him xx

Ayr is a great old town to explore. I'd love to visit but . . . I don't visit much of anywhere anymore. I can sympathize with your sadness about P. He was a great companion.

It’s still early days. I lost my son to cancer 28 months ago and the grief is overwhelming and so slow to ease. Keep being good to yourself and lean into it - feel what you feel. You’re not being sorry for yourself. You miss him.

Your town looks very inviting. I do enjoy the quirks and history.
You stay very busy, a good thing, I think.

Such a pretty town. I like the pattern of the 'square'. The fish brick is pretty cool too.

I don’t like paper work at all. But when we first got married I did it all. It was lots as we were running a business.
Now the business is bigger but most of the paperwork is online. And my son who works with his dad is doing it all

Ayr, like many other towns is struggling at its centre..boarded up shops, buildings needing maintenance, big barn shops pulling business out of the centre...but it's still hanging in there

We have an Ayr over here but I think that it is almost opposite of your Ayr climate wise - I think that all little towns are having a few struggles. I do hope that the future breathes some fresh life into them in the not too distant future.

Keith always did all the paperwork and the legal-jargon stuff as I am NOT good at it - brain goes into panic mode when faced with the words of Authority! But like it or lump it, I have to do it now, although I do call Tam in as she has a good legal mind.

Ayr looks a quirky little town, and a shame it has fallen foul of the huge Out of Town Shopping areas.

Like you, I am missing my man.

Glad to hear you are attempting to contact a friend at lunch, though it didn't work out. I hope you kind of balance the paper work with something more enjoyable, maybe the quilt? Loved seeing those veggies you posted to Facebook...hope I'm remembering that right.
