Bucket update ....
10th
January 2019 (Thursday)
.... 08.30 “Thank You” Marcia for the
following info: it is the ‘Bloo bin’ (landfill) tomorrow (11th) , not the ‘broon’ one
as I thought; the ‘broon bin’ doesn’t go
out until the 25th. I hardly ever use
the ‘bloo’ bin but I’ll manage to fill it with rubbish and get it out. The Fife Council bucket collection system has
been changed; actually I should have known because I was caught out with the ‘broon’
bucket a week or two before Christmas. xx

| Elie this morning ... well .. the harbour! |
Our weather? .... we have a grey start to the morning, though the clouds are forecast to give way to
‘sunny spells’. I’m not fond of grey
mornings.
12.30 I am sorry to hear that Jimmy Birrell has
died. It doesn’t seem that long ago that
Jimmy, and his brother David did all the plumbing work on Balcarres Estate ...
that would be in the 1950’s. Hmmm.... that
wisnae yesterday right enough. Jimmy
was the oldest Colinsburgh resident, though not the resident who had lived in
Colinsburgh the longest; that honour
goes to Sheila (Joss, nee Munro) who was born in the village... er ... a few
years ago. The funeral announcement
will in the Courier in the next day or so.

| That hole in the clouds = a sunny spelll somewhere! |
19.00 The ‘sunny spells’ were few, and far
between; in fact I can’t remember if we
even had one. I did see a ray of
sunshine on Chapel Green,... and that was short lived.... and only about 10
metres in diameter. Having said that
it has been a bonnie sort of day, with an interesting sky, even if it was
overcast: actually the sky was interesting because it was overcast.
I’ve
had an active day. First thing I went
to Leven, he ‘plan’ was to take the car through the car wash but I decided to
leave that until next week, and went to Sainsbury’s instead. On the way back to Ivy,
I went to the Pavilion
to see if ‘the Troops’ were having morning coffee but there was no sign of anyone; so I bumbled my way to the harbour. I was at the harbour twice today because I
went there after the ‘Drop in Cafe’.

| Elie this afternoon - after the Drop in Cafe. |
The
‘Drop in Cafe’ was slow to begin but was soon buzzin’ like a wasps byke; however there are no ‘secrets ‘ to report
from hinterlands of the parish. We
have a little bit of a moon tonight; it’s rather romantic looking... probably
because it means there’s another hole in the cloud layer.
