Elie High Street coned ....
12th
July 2016 (Tuesday) .... 09.00
We have a lovely ‘autumnal feeling’ morning..... overcast, dry and
chilly on the hands. I noticed rain showers
over towards the West, but they won’t bother us ‘cos I have a washing on the
line. I’ve
been round the villages on
the bike, and was surprised by the number of folk out jogging, dog walking...
and dog jogging! I eventually ended up
sitting on the Boss’s Seat; and came
away full of ‘instructions’, one of which was ‘bake some scones this afternoon’.

Elie
High Street has been ‘coned’ into two lanes width, for eight weeks, while the ‘Deli’
is being demolished. It will be good watching the ‘new’ shop slowly
grow out of the ashes of the old .... like the mythological ‘Phoenix bird’. I’m
hoping the ‘Deli’ facade will survive, if it does, the street front will look
as it did before the fire.
22.30 I must have accidentally hit some kind of ‘boost’
button, because it’s getting near to bedtime and I’m full of ‘get up and go’: I think my body clock must be upside
down.
This has been a busy day... I’ve been active all day, which including doing
housework. Mind you Jimmy phoned to
say he was going along to St Monans, so I dropped ‘housewifely’ things .... I
needed butter to bake scones. In fact,
I discovered,
when I started to make the scones in the afternoon, that I was
also short of sugar, ... so ... nae scones!
However I did get some nice photos of St Monans ... and I bought an RNLI
cap at the “Nearly New Shop”, which Jimmy wanted to visit! Molly (‘M’s wee 'big' sister) was ‘volunteering’ there
this morning; ‘M’ was at Crail for the day. And,
just in case you are wondering, I did remember to get butter at “Wheegums” ... the Mace shop!

The
‘afternoon plan’ was to make scones, but that changed to going down to the
Sailing Club on the bike, then up to Jimmy’s for a cuppa. Someone hit one of his car wing mirrors,
and he’d been sticking something back in place, so couldn’t move it: the
car i.e.... not the mirror! Ye Gods, I’m making hard work of this
tonight! I came home via Elie Estate as per usual, so
I’ve had a fair bit of biking exercise today.

Jim
and Jimmy came down, looking for scones, in the evening, but had to make do
with chocolate biscuits. However my Hutte Finest was of excellent
quality tonight; I made tea! Tomorrow we’re going to the Coffee Morning
in the Church Hall; I’m picking up ‘M’ at
09.30 so we’ll start the day with ‘morning coffee! I want to do a shopping in the afternoon...
I’m hoping that ‘M’ is excited by this!
