.... 08.30 My morning walk on the

short this morning; we have
misty (as in wet Scotch), breezy (F3 East wind) and cool, so not a bonnie start
to Friday. The sun should break
through later, but even then it will be cool in the wind. Jings, I was just beginning to get the hang
of ‘summer’ weather. I might walk
along for the paper and morning coffee
in Harbour House; but, if the Scotch
mist hasn’t cleared away it will be the car.
18.00 I got a pleasant surprise when I went for
the paper this morning .... no, the sun wasn’t shining at Elie: I met Neil who told me that there was artistic
activity on Elie Harbour beach. This I had to see. The weather was dour, and I needed something
to brighten me up. When I arrived at The Terrace (the best
viewpoint) I sat and

watched as the artists produced a head drawing of Johann
Sebastian Bach. It was interesting to
see it happen. One of the artists drew
the outline, the other two used rakes to ‘fill in’ the appropriate bits. The fourth member of the team was up on The
Terrace with two cameras. I sat beside
her and she explained what it was all about.
They were ‘advertising’ the East Neuk Music Festival ... which is ‘on’
just now; from the 27th June to the 1st July. I watched them working for a while, then
went for coffee at Harbour House, with ‘the Troops’, before going back to the
Terrace to see the finished ‘drawing’. What had been a dull morning (as far as
weather went) was well brightened up by the activity on the beach, and the coffee
and company in Harbour House.
20.30 With the weather being dour I decided to go
to Leven; more or less for a run, but I’d
have some retail therapy when there.
The road was busy with traffic heading for the East Neuk; actually this weekend will be the start of
the busy holiday season. The villages
will be busy for the next two and a half months. I won’t be

lonely. Mind you neither will my car!
The
weather for tomorrow is forecast to be slightly better that it was today ....
more sunny spells (that won’t be hard) and slightly warmer. The temperature in Ivy garden only reached
15c this afternoon .... a drop of 8 degrees on yesterday. It has been cloudier today, and therefore
colder.
‘Nae
plan’ for tomorrow; I’ll probably do
some work around Ivy. It’s strange actually: for the couple of weeks when the wind was out
of the West I didn’t have one migraine.... since it, the wind, veered to the
East five days ago I’ve had four (migraines).
No wonder I don’t like the east wind.
