Autumn!
13th
July 2016 (Wednesday)
.... 08.45 We have a bonnie, ‘autumnal’
feeling, morning; but, it’s cold on the
hands when out on the bike. I’m feeling
‘active’ and have been since I got ‘up’ at 05.45. There’s a washing out on the line
(it’s a perfect
drying day), and,.... pulled a couple of
weeds when I was out there. Since then
I’ve been along for the paper, and had a run down to the harbour..... where I
was surprised to find someone else out for some morning exercise. It is a really good morning for being ‘active’...
there’s a fresh breeze from the
Northwest... but it is cool... however, it should warm up, when the sun gets
going.

22.00 It
did turn out to be a nice, warm day, though heavy showers in the afternoon
dampened it down ... just a bit. However
after the showers had passed over, we had a really gorgeous evening. In fact ‘M’ and I went down to the beach
to enjoy the evening sunshine .... and to walk orf some of the food we’d
consumed today. “Puku” is happy.
I
picked up ‘M’ from St Monans, as per today’s ‘plan’, and, having picked up Jim
(we are back in Earlsferry now.... and Myra had need of Jim’s car) we went to
the Coffee Morning. Jimmy was already ensconced at the ‘Boy’s
Table’... and had scoffed most
of the cakes!
There was a good turnout at the “CM” .... including a few ‘visitors’,
and ‘M’ had a grand time, chatting to, near enough, everyone....and won a
bottle of wine in the raffle.

The
‘master plan’ for the afternoon was for
me to get some shopping in, so went straight to Leven after we’d deposited ‘M’s
wine at Ivy. We started out by having
a ‘lite lunch’ in Sainsbury’s Cafe, before doing the shopping... which didn’t
take very long, and we were back at Ivy by 14.30. We.... well ‘M’ discovered that I had bought
eggs today... and that I already had eggs;
however they were ‘out of date’ (just), so I used that as my excuse. Today’s eggs are for ‘bacon and egg’
breakfasts that Michael and Janice might want!
‘M’ found Basmati rice ‘bag things’ that are perfect for people living
on their own, .... and done in the microwave.
When I think of it, I might get ‘M’ to ‘browse’ me round Sainsbury’s for
other ‘single portion, stuff.

For
some reason that I can’t explain, I ended up making out evening meal early ...
as in two hours early, so we didn’t get out anywhere else today. We had thought of Tentsmuir, or Dunino
Woods, but, we needed more time to do either of those justice. Next time we’ll do Tentsmuir ...which will
be a picnic day out!
Tomorrow
I’ll get ready for Michael and Janice arriving.... with ‘Rat Dawg’ (Westie).
