31st
March 2016 (Thursday) .... 09.00
There’s a change with the weather this morning .... the wind,(F2) is from the East, the sky is
mostly overcast, but it’s dry, and actually nice for being out and about: wellll ...‘out and about’ anywhere,
barring
the bottom of Ferry Wynd, where there’s a blocked drain, with raw sewage all
over the place. Avoid the bottom of
Ferry Wynd!

The
beach was peaceful, just a single jogger, three folk out walking their dogs,
and myself. I didn’t go ‘roond the Chapel’
this morning; I didn’t get ‘up’ until
‘Wallace and Gromit’ fired up at 06.50., and
therefore running behind schedule ...... “Puku” needed feeding.
My
original ‘plan’ was to find a “Molly” to coddle me today: however, I suspect that any mollycoddling
will have to be self inflicted. In
point of fact, I’m going to find some more paper to shred, that’s going to be
today’s ‘work’.... the waste paper
bucket goes out tomorrow.
22.30 Jenny, Em and John went over to St
Andrews, then on to Kirkcaldy, so they’ve had a busy day ... and so have
I. The computer desk is ready for
Iain, I also shredded some more paper .... my ‘black’ bucket is ‘up tae the
eyeballs’ ... and paper is heavy..... I only hope that the handles of the
bucket don’t get ripped orf, and the bucket left stood staunin’ on the ground
when the come to empty it! I am well
pleased with today’s efforts.... or will be after I get the empty bucket back.
In
the afternoon, because I’d forgotten to give the ‘troops’ a key, I didn’t go to
the “Drop in Cafe”, but, being as it was such a bonnie day I did manage a
short foray down to the beach; on the way orf the beach I came across Jimmy
(Mackie) sitting on a seat.... so I joined him for a chat. Jimmy is an original ‘Ferry man’, and I
have to be careful when talking aboot Elie;
Elie has to be referred to as ‘the ither place’.
Jimmy
is a right Ferry person .... as was Maggie.

We’ve had a bonnie day, but there has been a
cool onshore wind, so even in the sunshine on the beach, you had to be well
wrapped up. Having said that everyone
seemed to be enjoying themselves... but that’s what Elie and Earlsferry beaches
are all about. For some reason I
started thinking about the beaches on Cyprus when I was down there .... strange
thoughts, because the only similarity was the colour of the sand; the temperature most certainly was not
of Mediterrean levels.
Emily
and John arrived home about an hour ago, and are away for a walk across the
golf course. I’m transferring some
photos off the old computer... and that’s going to take a long time; going by the speed the green line is moving
at.

John
made spaghetti/lasagne for our dinner, and it was absolutely out of this world ....
“Puku” is thinking of joining the Fleet Air Arm now! Not only did we have the lasagne, for our ‘sweet’
had Fisher and Donaldson Fudge Doughnuts;
so “Puku” is one happy, and very contented puku tonight. John and Em are orf back to Cumbria, where
John’s folks live, then they will travel down to Somerset on Monday. They’re having an early start tomorrow
morning, so it’s an early night in bed tonight.
