morning.... one of those pre- sunrise skies that makes me feel excited .... not
a good weather sign, but stunning to see,... the sky i.e..... not me in ‘excited’
mode. There’s a cool air coming from
the south .... it’s perfect drying day:
and I have bedding going through the machine.
15.00 We’ve had a lovely, albeit cold, day... and
I have been a busier boy than I thought I’d be. The washing dried and is ready to
iron; and I have been to Leven to do a
bit of shopping. Today’s ‘plan’ didn’t
include shopping but Myra and Jim were going to Leven after morning coffee in
Harbour House.... so, in view of the weather forecast .... this ‘boy’ decided to

go shopping. If the ‘Royal Burrow’ gets
cut off by huge snow drifts (anything over 3 inches deep) it is now is well
stocked up with Weetabix (72 size box) and emergency rations. Oh .... and food too. Not that I expect much in the way of snow but
the need for retail therapy seemed a good idea.
16.00 I went out for my usual run (Elie,
Balbuthie Loan, Kinneuchar then home) in the car at sunset time, but the
setting sun was never going to be
visible due to a low cloudbank. Had I taken
the tripod with me I’d have taken a few, evening, street shots up in Elie; but I hadn’t so I didn’t. ‘Ivy Cottage’ is now battened down for the
night. Oh, that reminds me .... I meant to go to the charity shop in
Leven to get a few ‘bedtime reading’ books but forgot. I have an appointment with a lassie in the
bank on Monday morning so I’ll buy a few books at the Chatity shop next door.
19.30 The gritter has been out again this evening
because there is a yellow warning

out for snow/ice; active for our area from 09.00 tomorrow
morning though to 09.00 Sunday morning. As long as the road isn’t blocked between here
and Harbour House we should be fine: unless
the road is blocked between St Monans and Harbour House, which would prevent Laura
getting through. Without Laura there’s
nae coffee! That can’t happen ... we’ll
settle for a few sleety showers,.. and wet, but open roads.
The
sun was low in the sky coming home from Leven this afternoon, and I ended up
having a migraine. I’ll have a look at
something on the tele and have another
early night in bed.
