Mmmmmm .... the sky is overcast,

but not heavily, so the sun could
easily break through later..... and there’s only a light breeze, so isn’t cold. It’s a nice morning, and it could get
better..... I might go for a daunder round Kinneuchar later. I’m hungry! Catch you later .... slight ‘flap on’....
just remembered that I haven’t had breakfast.
12.30 Well .... I set off in the car making for
Balcarres Estate, but drove into a shower of rain, so had to abandon that
idea; however I went as far as
Colinsburgh and put fuel in the car so it wasn’t a wasted trip. The first part of the morning had been
taken up with doing the ironing, and going to the ‘Pav’ for coffee: actually, I see that the sun has broken through again so I might
yet get out for a wee ‘explore’.... after a quick ‘50’ in the Hutte.

16.30 Although it has been overcast for most of
the day, we only had that one shower of rain, so I did go up to Balcarres to
reconnoitre the Lathallan woods with a view to having a bigger explore when the
weather is better. Having a sair knee
cramps my exploring ability considerably, but I’m determined to plod
along. The ‘plan’ is to see Dr Marsden
re knee replacement next month.
I
went out to post a letter this afternoon and was fortunate enough to end up
chatting to Irene and Marcia: I must
make a point of posting letters on a more regular basis! Anyway I caught up with their ‘news’ then continued up the street accompanied by Irene who was out for her afternoon
exercise. Marcia was busy in the
kitchen. That

reminds me; what am I going to have for food tonight?
19.30 I bought a copy of the Elie Herald today
and it attached is a ‘Special Edition’ re
the Elie and Earlsferry housing developments;
a really interesting read.
Affordable houses? They already
build affordable houses; they don’t sell
them at affordable prices that’s the problem.
The ‘boss man’ at Persimmon was awarded a bonus of £74,000,000 not so
long ago; there was a bit of a gasp
from around the country; so he settled for less and resigned. If the boss of a building firm can be
awarded such an obscene bonus it only means they are charging far too much for
the their houses; this means that they
are already building affordable
houses: all they have to do is sell them
at affordable prices. End of moan!
