May 2016 (Thursday) .... 08.15.
We have a nice morning, and the weather forecast is ‘bright sunny
spells, and warmer’ so it looks like being a day for

doing things. My immediate ‘plan’ is to ‘do’ the “Evelyn’s
Bench” walk, this time with the I-phone/Tracker charged up, and, in my pocket. I’m thinking; if it does become warmer, how long will it
be before the wind backs round to the East (it’s South westerly now) and we end
up with haar? Must go, “slight flap
on” .... there’s walking to be done before Jimmy turns up for his morning
cuppa!
22.00 It has been another beautiful day here it East
Neuk, and. For me, it has been a very pleasant, and satisfying, one. I did walk to Croupie, and Evelyn’s Bench,
more or less following the same route as last time.... it was a quieter
morning, and even more enjoyable this time:
the distance covered is only 4.1 kilometres, or 2.55 miles (it felt
further the first time) a nice distance for a morning walk. I went

over to the ‘shelter’, adjacent to
the seventh and ninth fairways, that is undergoing a major refurbishment at
present .... this is the first time the shelter has had this treatment, at
least since Maggie and I did our ‘coortin’ there .. and that wisnae
yesterday! The shingle roof adds a
real ‘touch of class’ to the auld place.
I got back to Ivy, in time to get the kettle ‘on’; Jimmy arrives for his morning cuppa around
11.00.
On
the way along to the ‘Drop in Cafe’ I went into the Bowling Club to pay my fees
for the season. Next week I must begin
serious practice, because ‘M’ plays bowls somewhat mair accurately than I
do! Mine are accurate enough, only
sometimes to the wrong rink! The ‘Drop
In Cafe’ was quiet this afternoon but we always manage to have a lively
discussion about many things; today’s subjects included Shakespeare, and how
often I change my Hoover bag. It’s well
worth ‘Dropping In’ for a laugh.
It
looks like the weather is going to be ‘not bad’ tomorrow, though the wind is

to be light, but veer round to the North then East; so it
might be cooler on the North Sea Coast.
I don’t have a ‘plan’ for tomorrow though I might do some gardening in
the morning, (there’s still a wee bit of space in the ‘broon’ bucket)..... as
well as walking/biking. Jimmy mentioned shopping so we might go along to Leven.

brown.
