is our forecast for the day; at the moment
the sun beginning to break through a heavy layer of cloud. It should turn out to be a nice enough day
for play ....er ... working. I
think I’ll have a foray round to the darkest reaches of the back garden with
the secateurs ... and the loppers. That
event will happen once the wetness caused by the overnight rain (from the
aforementioned heavy layer of cloud) has dried away.
I
am beginning to enjoy this lack of traffic;
the amount of cars on the roads is (well was until the beginning of last
week).... is more like it was in the
late 40’s and early 50’s (19 not 18). It’s actually braw hearing birds singing when
you’re biking along (even on the main roads).
There is one noticeable difference;

in the road is far better than it was then. Most
people cycled locally and used the bus (355) to get to Leven Anstruther
etc. The buses turned left(or right
coming from Colinsburgh) at the Kinneuchar Inn and went up the Colinsburgh road
not through Kinneuchar and up to Robin Gray’s cottage. Yes I
am beginning to like less noise and more fresh air. Anyway enough of this reminiscing; It looks like I’ll have to take the car to go
for the paper as it’s still damp! That
spoils things and brings me right back to ‘today’.
08.30 The sun is breaking through and I will get
the bike out later. It was cold on the
hands down at the harbour.... but I suppose it’s nearly always cold down there. Everything is where it should be... except
that there’s a Bin Store door open at the Granary.... also this is mair exciting....
gannets are diving in the bay just now and coming in quite close to the
pier. Must go slight flap on now; I am going to make

Cottage pies.
21.00 My word we have a lovely evening: I went ‘roond’ the Chapel on the bike and up
to the Pony field. I didn’t charge
the battery last night so I couldn’t go any further. It is on charge now so it will be all ‘go’
tomorrow; the weather forecast is good.
The Cottage Pies are ‘made’ and should be ready to go into the freezer now. I had an Ardross Steak Pie for my dinner
with mashed tautties and veg.... my word it was succulent.... and was followed
by Strawberries and meringue for sweet.

Care Home has arranged a time for Myra to see and wave to Jim from the Car Park
tomorrow morning; I think that is a
brilliant idea, because of course there‘s no

contact visiting just now. It will be interesting to hear how Jim reacts
to seeing Myra outside. All families
will be missing visiting their loved ones in Care Homes all over the
world; and the family member in care
will be missing the regular contact.
Changed times indeed.
