.... 09.00 We have one of those ‘interesting
sky’

| Elie on a lovely April afternoon. |
mornings, with a lot of heavy shower clouds... (and heavy showers) ; with
the occasional sunny spell. There’s
been a lot of rain overnight, but the showers should peter out later leaving us
with longer sunny spells. The wind is
from the easterly direction; in fact that’s
going to be the main wind direction for the next few days; that’s not a healthy wind.
21.00 This is the third day in succession that I’ve
been to Leven; I’m beginning to know the
road. Specsavers gave me an
appointment for 11.00 so I went and had my eyes tested... and will get my new
specs in two weeks. Unfortunately when
I was doing that I should have been at the Dentist in Anstruther. It’s the first time I have ever missed a
dental appointment ... or any appointment:
for some reason I had it fixed in my mind that the dental appointment was
for next Thursday, the 11th. I now
have a new appointment for the 1st May.... and there’s a piece of paper to
remind me of that

date sellotaped to the front door! I even remembered to stick it to the inside
of the door. I have been a silly
boy. At least I have my new specs
organised; two for the price of one for
some reason; I don’t know why they
couldn’t halve the price of one pair. Anyway I’m happy with the specs part of the
day ....but annoyed with myself at missing the dentist.
After
phoning the dentist and apologising etc. I had some lunch, followed by a much
needed ‘50’ in the Hutte. The showers had
become less frequent, and had faded away by lunch time.... leaving us with
bright and breezy afternoon, though there was plenty of April shower clouds
scampering over. I decided to go down
to the harbour for a wander around.
The boats are all looking good for ‘crane in’ on Saturday,.... unlike
today the harbour will be a hive of activity on Saturday. So what else did I forget this afternoon?
.... The

‘Drop in Cafe’! I’m blaming the East wind for all this forgetfulness!
From
what I’ve seen on the weather forecast tomorrow is going to be a good drying
day.... bright breezy and mostly dry!
Yep .... I have enough to make a half load so a washing I will do. No other plan ... apart from going to
Harbour House for morning coffee ....and buying a paper!
