Nice morning .....

14th  November 2026(Saturday)     10.00 .... Although the patio thermometer is showing 7C,
and therefore warmer than it was at this time yesterday, it actually feels much colder due to a combination of windchill and a raw, damp air.    I had sort of thought about getting 'up' early and going to the 'Paper Shop' for a paper, then have a run down to the harbour,  but changed my mind when I stuck my nose out at the back door at 07.00.   I went back to bed and eventually surfaced at 08.15.   This is most likely going to be a 'stay in and warm' day;  doing stuff around Ivy, and on the computer. 

Although mostly cloudy just now we do have 'sunny spells':  unfortunately they don't add very much to the temperature, but they are bright and cheerful spells!   I need an early morning coffee! .... and put my hearing aids in!  

16.30    The wind moderated in the afternoon,  so we lost most of the windchill, and ended up with a warm afternoon;  for this time of year.   I was watching football, but, at half time I fancied having a short run out in the car, rather than a walk with the 'hurdy gurdy'.   I got the camera out,  and did more or less the same run as I did yesterday:  but took different photographs.  The sky was different.

I watched the film 'Cruel Sea' (1953) this afternoon.   I've seen it a couple of times since I  saw it in the Regent Picture House in Leven, when it first came out.   That was way back;  in my 'good old days'.   Both Leven pictures houses still exist; but what they are used for I don't know.    I think the Troxy is a Bingo Hall.    I have the book 'Cruel Sea' and will make it one of my reads this winter.    

This has been a pleasantly warm November day:  but there's rain forecast for tomorrow.    And the
wind is veering to the north so it should feel cold  again.   I haven't a 'plan' for tomorrow;  I'll see what the weather is like before deciding what to do.   I have stuff that I want to do on the computer if the weather is wet and cold.   If the weather is reasonable I'll probably visit Alice;  she needs to be annoyed now and again, and I'm good at that!
