Lovely, 'fresh' morning .....
8th
July 2016 (Friday)
..... 11.00 “Happy birthday to my nephew Martin; Have
a great day!” Cake is allowed .... on
birthdays!
We
have a nice morning... ‘bright and breezy’... and dry though we have had some
rain
overnight; this has left us with a
‘fresh’ feel to the air. I do
believe that yesterday was the first completely dry day: a day without any rain, since ‘M’ arrived; no wonder Bonnie Scotland always looks fresh
and green! It looks like being a bonnie day today. Jimmy and I are visiting Chris (Windmill) this
afternoon; if it’s warm we might get a
seat outside in the garden. It’s
always ‘stuffy’ inside on a hot day .... and I always end up feeling faint.

I’ve
been up to Elie on the bike this mornin g, but oh my word... I’m a ‘bag o’
nerves’ and glad to be back in Ivy.... the streets were busy with cars. Usually I’m out earlier but I needed to go
to the Chemist. I’d better get the
kettle ‘on’ .... Jimmy will be along for a morning cuppa soon.
21.30 I do believe we might be having a, ‘touch
of summer’, weather .... I like it.
We’ve had a bonnie day.... I suppose if we had to complain it has to be
about the wind, but even that wasn’t cold.
Jimmy and I visited Chris and she was really good: I don’t
understand it, but it seems that, with leaving a bigger gap between visits, Chris
is happier to see us when we do ‘turn up’.
Once you get Chris switched into ‘happy mode’ she begins to sing; today she hardly ever ‘moaned’ about ‘this
place’... except to say that “you won’t get tea”. But
we did. We didn’t sit outside .... it was
a bit too windy for that, but the Lounge wasn’t ‘stuffy’ today, and I felt good
all the way through.

On
the way home we went down to St Monans harbour to see the new engine Ian has
fitted into his boat, “Shearwater II”.
We’d just missed him running it, but it is in place and only needs the finishing
touches, before he is back at the creels again.

Our
afternoon finished with a cuppa in the Sailing Club (Elie) where we watched
folks, going about their various holiday activities, both on and orf the
water. The villages are filling up, and, if the
weather continues ‘summery’ we could be in for a busy weekend. That said, the weather forecast for tomorrow
isn’t that good; early rain, followed
by showers and a change of wind direction to the East for a while.... although
it should be warm in the sun.
