.... 09.30 There’s a bank of low cloud
come in from the North Sea overnight, giving us a grey, and damp, morning. I looked

out at 05.00 and saw that it was thus, and went back to bed,
finally getting ‘up’, and ‘running’ at 08.15.... well, maybe not running. The
weather should improve later .... but, with the wind being from the East, it’s
a bit ‘iffy’. There’s light ‘Scotch
Mist’ falling now and again so I haven’t been down to the beach,... nor out on
the bike; but, I have done some ‘ooverin’
and dustin’! Now I’m going to have a
late breakfast. Oh .... we have the ‘Drop
in Cafe’ in the afternoon; a chance to
chat, and catch up with all the EKC Parish news.
22.30 We’ve had a ‘dreich’ evening, in fact it
has been so since 16.00 this afternoon .... and it is still wet and miserable,... however the wind is veering towards the West
so it should be ‘bright and sunny’ by tomorrow morning.
I’ve
had a ‘quietly busy’ day. Jimmy
arrived not long after I’d finished my ‘late breakfast’; we had a cuppa and a chat. Unfortunately, Jimmy didn’t have any

information for the Hutte pages: He thought
he did get some ‘information’, but couldn’t remember what it was. After he left, I went up to Chapel Green on
the bike and removed the flowers from the Boss’s seat as they had wilted. I’m going to come up with a better way of fixing
flowers to the seat the next time.... but I still intend using the champagne
flute.
The
‘Drop in Cafe’ was busy this afternoon .... I think we were all happy to see it
‘open’ after the Summer break... and to catch up with local ‘news’. Not that where was any ‘local news’... as
far as I can make out, ‘nothing has happened anywhere’, over the summer period. I certainly was glad to see everyone
again: next week we have the ‘Lite
lunch’ at Colinsburgh, so we are back on track with the EKC “Friendly Get Thegither’s”.
‘M’
is coming along next Tuesday... which is
a week before she goes back home to New Zealand. I think the plan is to be in ‘The Royal Burgh’
from Tuesday until

Thursday when we shall say our ‘goodbye’s’. It has been really enjoyable going around
as a ‘couple’, even though it was only ‘now and again’. ‘M’s,
“raison d’être”, was to visit her relations, and friends; I’m really happy that I was able to spend
some time with her.... and to use her for my model.
