“Sunny intervals with a fresh

westerly breeze” is the KY9 forecast for
today; it’s actually going to be F4 -5
(its F5 in Largo Bay at present) fairly windy but not a wintry feeling wind. I
have yet to go for the paper; I
plan to do that in the middle of the morning. The sky is overcast just now but rain isn’t
in the forecast and, as I’m feeling in a positive and creative mood,.... I have
a washing in the machine. There’s
certainly a good drying wind.
Platform
‘Deepsea Aberdeen’ (which departed Largo Bay yesterday evening) is out in the
North Sea making for Aberdeen.... and .... cruise ship Balmoral is also in the
North Sea, heading south. There’s also a
whole fleet of tankers off Dunbar (Dunbar
Anchorage).... waiting to go into Hound Point mostly.

19.00 I’ve had a busy day....but forgot to get my
paper. I went up to Elie in the car
later than I’d normally do because I needed to get a new set of kitchen scales....
and I also got elastic to finish off the mask.
I’d spent most of the morning looking for elastic in Maggie’s sewing
stuff but didn’t find any. She will
have it somewhere. At least I can
finish the mask now: and, having
thought about it, I know how I am going to do that. That job will be done tomorrow now that I
have all the necessary bits. There was
a queue outside the ‘paper shop’ when I was finished at Neil’s so I decided
that I’d get my paper on the way home from my exercise run on the bike. So,
when I came out of Elie Estate I went down to the harbour then home by way of
The Terrace totally forgetting about the paper.
I
had a good long run on the bike;
Kinneuchar, Elie Estate and our ‘wee villages’.

The
sky was full of cotton wool type clouds and they always enhance a photograph; wherever I looked I saw another photograph so
I am a happy boy tonight.
The
roads are noticeably busier now .... probably ‘cos it’s the weekend. I know they shouldn’t be busier but they
are.
Although
it has been windy today it hasn’t been cold... and it’s going to be warmer tomorrow. My ‘Master Plan’ is to go for my paper at my
usual time have a circumnavigate of the villages, then finish off the mask. There will be a small amount of sewing to do
but I can manage that.... and I have multitudes of thread, of all colours,
having found two boxed of sewing kit... neither of which had elastic in them.
