December 2016 (Sunday)
.... 10.00 Iain set off to Edinburgh, (to work), at 07.45; at which time I
noticed that the dawn sky was beginning to be

interesting. I wrapped myself up, grabbed the camera and
toddled down to the beach, half an hour before the sun was due to rise (08.36).
It proved to be a rewarding ‘toddle’ as we had
a gorgeous “red sky in the morning”, pre – sunrise sky. By sunrise time, which was at 08.36; the bright colours had been ‘washed out’. The actual sunrise was hidden by low
clouds.
21.30 Adelaide, Jenny, Ivan and went to “The Bank”
in Anstruther for lunch: it’s the first
time that I have been in there, and I must say I was totally surprised. The food was good, as was the company ....
and the service. I’d be happy to go
back there again. In fact instead of
me taking ‘JB’ up to Fisher and Donaldson’s for Fudge Doughnuts, we’ll go to “The
Bank”... for food .... then again maybe
not! Fudge

Doughnuts have that especial ‘something’
that ‘food’ does not have .... fudge!
You
would think that going out for a meal wouldn’t be the most tiring o exercises; but, for some reason I am absolutely
shattered. I suspect that it’s caused
by shyness! With me being so shy, going out in company
must tire me out! An early bath for
the ‘boy’ tonight methinks! My bedtime
book is “1984” (George Orwell), ... a
book that I read many years ago, but I fancied catching up with ‘Wilbur Smith’
again. I’ve reached the stage where he’s
fallen in love .... a very dangerous ‘condition’ to be in, when living with ‘Big
Brother’ watching your every move!
According
to the weather forecast tomorrow is going to be another, mostly grey day;

but there is the chance of a few sunny spells
now and again. I don’t have a ‘plan of
action’ for tomorrow, but I must try to get out for a walk at some point,.... I
may take the tripod own to the pier and have a practice with it. There are Christmas cards to write and get in
the post; Jings I’m beginning to feel tired already ...
I feel a ‘weakness’ coming on! Eyelids
are suppose to blink every so often, but right now mine blink shut .... and
stop! It’s definitely bed time! Good night all .... I’m orf to make my
chocolate.
