Nice morning ....
26th
July 2016 (Tuesday)
.... 08.00 It’s a nice, ‘bright and breezy, fresh
morning .... a morning for pottering
around on the bike. However, instead of
‘pottering around on the bike’, I’m
going to Leven to get a much needed haircut...
right now I look like one of those things with
long necks,... you can see them in a field up at Arncroach ..... got it .... an
Alpaca! Orf to have breakfast.

23.30 At last .... I have lost the ‘Alpaca look’,
and feel much more comfortable. I
went to Elie to ‘catch’ the “No 62” bus, that was supposed to be in Elie by
08.51 but never turned up ... so I got on the “95”,which was on time at 09.14. I was lucky in the hairdressers as a lady,
her hair covered in bits of aluminium foil, had to wait half an hour, until
whatever was inside the foil, had done it’s stuff. I was taken straight away, and was ‘sat
sittin’ in Stuart’s, with a coffee and German biscuit, ten minutes later!
On
the return journey I met ‘Chippy’ Hughes, who I used to play golf with years ago. We were still catching up with each other’s
news when the bus reached Elie! I then
had a pleasant walk home to Ivy.

Most
of the afternoon I spent working in the front garden ... pruning a lilac
tree. I think it’s a lilac tree but it
never flowers so it may another kind of tree ... walking sticks comes to mind. The rain came and, quickly, dampened my enthusiasm
.... so I made a cuppa. Michael and
Janice arrived back from a trip to Dundee ,... and Janice made a cuppa. I’ve done alright for liquids today!
We
had an ‘Ardross Fish Pie’ for dinner
tonight... and it was scrumptious. The
best I’ve ever tasted. Better even
than their ice cream with tablet in it!
The
rain is still with us, giving a dreich evening. I had hoped to go down to the beach but I’ll
leave that until tomorrow morning, because the rain is supposed to move away
overnight. Tomorrow is forecast to be nice, “bright and
breezy”, though still cool, with more cloud developing in the afternoon. I’m going to be .... ‘up’, and out early.
