July 2016 (Friday) .... 11.00
‘Sooperior Dawg’, a 14 year old Westie, arrived in The Royal Burgh at 10.00.... she was accompanied by Janice and
Michael, the ‘troops’. “Bonnie” will want to let everyone know that
she is in

residence... and I have a funny feeling that everyone, within a half
mile or so, will, definitely, know that she is.... somewhere around. We’ve had a cuppa, and the ‘troops’,
accompanied by Bonnie are orf up to Chapel Green to the ‘Boss’s Seat’.
I originally intended going out on the bike
at 05.00, but it was spitting rain at 4.35, when I got ‘up’ and went out to the
front gate, (in my pj’s) to check on the weather,..... I went back to bed. When
I did, eventually, get ‘up’, at 06.30, it was dry so I went for a walk along
the beach. It is ‘quiet’, with hardly
a breath of wind so we have one of those placid Firth of Forth mornings ... the
kind of morning where I drift off into one of my ‘daydreams’. A

other folks were out enjoying the early morning vibes, and working up an appetite for breakfast.
22.00 The rain arrived, and has been with us on
and off, varying from light to very heavy, since the early afternoon: it has been a good day for catching up with
the news from Sussex, and for updating Michael and Janice with our local ‘news’. It has also been a great day for taking
photographs of wet roses!
“Rat
Dawg” (she gets the name because that’s what Westies do ... catch, and kill
rats) is i/c of me this evening; Janice
insisted on taking Michael down to ‘The Ship’ for a quiet drink. I don’t think I have ever seen a dog so
obsessed with looking for food: “Puku”
, bless his wrinkles, is envious! I
certainly won’t need to take the ‘oover out for the next couple of weeks!

It’s
“Elie Fayre Day” tomorrow, down at the Harbour, starting at 13.00. The weather forecast is ‘nae bad’ ....
showers later but, being optimistic, not as nasty as some of those we had
today. “RD” travelled just over 500
miles last night, and seems to be having an early night! ..... so much for
being the ‘guard dog’. I’m tired too; getting ‘up’ to see what the weather was
like at 04.35, has caught up with me, so I might just poodle orf to bed with my
book. The ‘troops’ have their own key.
