Calm morning ....
17th
September 2018 (Monday)
.... 08.30 We have a quiet morning
here; the sun is trying to burn off
some high cloud, there’s only a light breeze, and it isn’t raining. It’s forecast to be overcast for most of
today with rain later. There is a big
area of blue sky appearing from the West so we could get a decent sunny spell. I’m fond of ‘sunny spells’ and thinking of
getting the bike out after breakfast... it’s not too windy, and the roads are
quieter again.
16.30 The exercise bike is in ‘The Hutte’,
though not exactly where I want it to be.
It started to rain at 15.30 so I tidied everything up, and out of the
rain. I must have worked harder than normal; at least the hard work is
done; all I have to do is organise The
Hutte for the winter. I have a load of
stuff for re-cycling at Pittenweem, but I’ll have to check to see if the
Pittenweem depot is open tomorrow. I
know that it’s ‘closed’ today.

| Overcast mostly .... but nice. |
12.00 I took the car up to get the paper.... and
for morning coffee, with Myra, Jim and Geoff in Harbour House. My immediate ‘plan’ is to extricate the
exercise bike from the wee shed and get it installed in the Hutte for the winter. This could take a few days at the speed I work
at.

| The beach this morning. |
It
looks like the rain is here for the evening;
which doesn’t bother me as I have an Outreach Meeting at 18.30. I must remember to have food earlier.
21.00 The rain petered out before the Outreach Meeting so I was able to walk up
to Pat’s, and back home again dry. I
think this is only a temporary respite, as rain is forecast for later tonight,
and tomorrow morning. I was hoping to
get out on the bike again tomorrow, but, even if it is raining I can now use
the exercise bike. I’ll spend a
bit of
time tomorrow sorting out ‘The Hutte’.

I’m
feeling better tonight; not as tired as
I have been lately. I think the weather
has a big part to play when it comes to how sore my knee is. I’m hoping that rain eases arthritic pain; we get loads of it (rain) in Bonnie Scotland. Somehow I think it could be the other way
round; with rain being more likely to
increase pain.
My
main ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to sort out the Hutte. The wind is going to start increasing in
strength in the afternoon, and to be “blawin’ a hoolie” on Wednesday.
