(Monday)
.... 08.45 We have a lovely mornin’; a perfect morning for Jimmy walking down to
the sailing Club. As for me? ......
I’m still feeling stiff around the shoulders, but my ‘brain’(?) says “frolic”
so I must be fine. “Puku” is contented
having just had breakfast; which was
something crunchy with nuts (skinny, non wrinkled

walnuts?) in it .... I’ll go
and find out what it’s called .... “Pecan and Maple Crunch”, one of the cereals I bought for the troops. There are other cereals which “Puku” will
plough his way through in due course.
I’m thinking of biking along to Jimmy’s, but there’s a fair breeze from
the southeast; it could be a short
stiff test.
18.00 My word this has been a beautiful
day; September and October has been the
best two months for decent spells of weather this year. This morning I went along to Jimmy’s, and we went down to the harbour in his car,
where he circumnavigated the granary twice....
a total distance of 320 metres.
However we have to add to that the distance round his ‘training walk’
which is 340metres... so he has done well today. I have also been informed (by a anonymous
informant, so I can’t tell you Skipper’s name .... oops, slip of the keys there)
that Jimmy also did a ‘big’ walk in the afternoon; one which I have yet to measure, but it will
be around a kilometre! This means he
will have ‘covered’ the mile distance in one day, albeit not on one walk.....
but this is excellent progress.
When
Jimmy was ‘scampering’ round the granary, Steve arrived, so, after Jimmy had

finished scampering, the three of us went to the “Club” and had coffee and an
interesting discussion about the
proposed housing developments at Earlsferry and Elie. In ‘nae time’ the morning had gone, and we
poodled orf home for lunch.... via St Monans harbour.
22.30 I’ve had an active, interesting and
motivating day; it is a happy, if still
a bit stiff round the shoulders, boy that will be popping into bed soon. Tomorrow Jimmy and I are going along to
visit Chris... she is bound to need some help with her latest escape plan; though I think she’ll be mair interested in
Jimmy tomorrow! I’ll see Wilma, who I hear is in a
wheelchair now. That must be hard on
Wilma because she rarely stopped walking:
I wonder if she is frustrated by not being mobile? I’m

sure she must be. It will be interesting to see if she recognises
me; she always has done up to now ...
now matter how long it is since I last was there. It’s the way her eyes light up; you have to be on the receiving end of that
to really appreciate it. I wonder
what Wilma is thinking? We were in the
same class at the Waid, but she can’t remember that. Strange... how she now regards me as a ‘friend’?
Photographs
: Top – Elie Bay this morning, the man fishing off the rocks was a bonus, that
gives the picture ‘life’. Middle – I wish
the two ladies on the pier had been closer;
I only had the pocket Nikon, and it isn’t the best on ‘zoom’, but I still
like this picture .... and, Bottom – East Shore St Monans at midday.
