things called bagels yesterday so, this morning I toasted two of
them then spread them with butter and some of Jackie’s raspberry jam. The hole in the middle of them is a ‘pain in
the bu ... posterior’ when spreading them. Somehow, going by the mess my hands were in
putting the jam on them, I got the feeling that they are not supposed to be laden
with raspberry jam. They tasted really
good though! What’s the hole in the
middle of them (the bagels) for anyway?
We
have a ‘nae bad’ morning after a wild night of wind and rain. The plan is to go to Kirkcaldy after
breakfast then go to The Harbour Master’s House (Dysart) for lite bite lunch.
09.00 Bagels are of Polish Jewish origin; the hole makes for even baking and for
carrying, displaying etc. Jam is not
mentioned but cream cheese etc is.... it’s a ‘roll with a hole’ really: extremely tasty with homemade raspberry jam.

12.00 My word we are getting some really squally
and heavy sleet showers. Iain and I
have been to Kirkcaldy (PC World) but the monitor we wanted wasn’t in stock so
Iain is going to buy one in Aberdeen and bring it down in a couple of weeks; in the meantime I will use one of the old
monitors.
We
left PC World just as one the previously
mentioned sleet showers was starting so
we abandoned the Dysart Harbour part of the plan and came straight back
home. Luckily we have the rugby this
afternoon; Italy v Scotland in Rome so we’re not bothered
about the squally showers. I think we could all be doing with a spell of more settled weather though..... tomorrow is forecast to
be sunny but cold.
16.30 Scotland won in Rome (15 – 0) but it wasn’t
the best of games to look at .....

apart from the result. Wales v France is coming on in a wee while
so we’ll watch that. Oh .... Iain went
online to PC World in Kirkcaldy and found a monitor that was ‘in stock’ so we
went back to Kirkcaldy and bought one;
which is now operational.
Things are now back to normal though it will take me a wee while to get
the complete hand of it.
