Down amongst the rocks ....
25th
March 2016 (Friday)
07.30 .....
we have ,“bright and
sunny” with a cool westerly breeze this morning; a lovely morning for ‘frolicking’.... and a
nice ‘drying day’. Low tide is at 09.20,
so I’m going down to the beach to plowter around
the rocks, before getting the
bike out and going down to the harbour:
‘The Galley’ opens for the summer season, tomorrow, Saturday..... the
holiday has me thinking ‘today’ is Saturday.
However, before doing anything
else I must hang out the washing.

10.30 It’s beautiful down on the beach,
definitely “bright and sunny” .... and it’s good to see it, the beach, with
people enjoying themselves. There was
a good mix of things going on .... dogs, and people enjoying Elie and
Earlsferry. The tide was out, and it
is a fairly low one, but not exceptional.... however it was far enough out for me
to have a braw potter around amongst the rocks. Oh ... and I did remember to hang out the
washing before I went to the beach.
I’d better get the kettle ‘on’ .... Jimmy will be arriving soon for h
is
morning cuppa.

21.00 This has been a ‘quiet’ day for me ....
most of the day I have been doing things around Ivy. Jimmy came along about 11.00 and we had our
cuppa in the Hutte .... where the temperature was 24c. We discussed the weather, mostly the ‘equinoxial
gales’ that are going to hit us tomorrow , and how there are regular spells of
weather with local names. Interesting
morning.
In
the afternoon I just kept on ‘pottering’ around Ivy .... I did think of getting
the bike out, but Ferry Road seemed awfie busy so I abandoned that ‘plan’...
and had another cuppa in the Hutte,
because I was now at the zig zag line stage of a migraine .... I blame the
weather, though it was more likely brought on by me eating a Teasers Easter
Egg! The best thing I could do was
have ‘50’ ... which is ‘iggzactly’ what I did.
Since
then I have played about with the long handled sponge I got for cleaning the
bath, ate sausages and mash with loads of fried ‘ingins’, and decided that I might do something exciting ‘ra
morra’. I certainly haven’t done very
much in the way of excitement today.
