Overcast and cold ....
10th
November 2019 (Sunday) 08.00 .... Hmm ... it’s overcast and
cold just now but not frosty
with a light breeze from the northwest:
sunny spells are predicted to move over later in the
morning. The weather should be good for
the local Remembrance Services. I’m staying
in, and warm, watching the Service from the Cenotaph this year. Though
I am feeling ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ this morning,....and looking forward to going to Anstruther for lunch with
Adelaide, Jenny, David and Ivan.
18.00 It was good having lunch with the ‘Troops’
again, with loads happy banter and the food was excellent; it fair cheered me up on what has been a
mostly grey and cold day. Jenny and Dave
went down to the beach (the Ferry beach) so that Dave could see the granary in
glorious techni ... er black and white, having only seen it in the
photos I
put on FB. The only problem I
had all afternoon was when I went to dry my hands in the Gents; I couldn’t find a hand dryer.... the only
machine in there was a thing called a ‘condom dispenser’. Ivan explained that the dryer is part of the
tap fitting; and that a condom dispenser
didn’t dispense chocolate biscuits!
Oh welll .... you’re never too old to learn something new. I am an innocent boy.

We
had a walk down to the harbour when we left ‘The Bank’ but it was a bit cold so
we abandoned that and went back to the cars... thence home. Jenny and Dave are stopping over at
Edinburgh tonight so the ‘troops’ couldn’t come to Ivy to sample the new coffee
bags. I’ve
been out to the front gate and it feels raw.... like it’s going to rain. Having checked the weather forecast; light
rain forecast for tonight... and
perhaps first thing tomorrow morrrrrrrning. Tomorrow should be brighter with more sunny
spells than we had today; but it is
going to be cool. I have no plan for
tomorrow but I have plenty to do;
including visiting Jim. Dave
told me that it’s single lane traffic, controlled by temporary traffic lights,
at the flood on the east end of Lundin Links.
That part of the road always floods; I imagine Fife Council will have to
do something about it eventually.
