Gale warnings for Fife later today .....
28th
September 2016 (Wednesday)
.... 09.00 We have a ‘bright and windy’
morning here; the clouds, that are bumbling their way over from the WNW,
look heavy enough to give us showers; but, as I have a washing on the line, showers
I do not want.

The
sunrise this morning was more of a golden colour than red, an indication of stormy
weather ahead .... which is the weather forecast
for later today. I’m hoping my washing
will be dry, and still on the line, by then.
21.00 We’ve had a good mix of weather today,
bright, then rain, that followed by Scotch
Mist after the wind dropped; then the
wind began to increase again bringing with it,.... squally showers. I had intended going down to the beach to
catch the sunset sky, but a heavy shower came over us at the crucial time.... I made a cuppa
instead. We are in for a wild night here; it’s a case of, ‘batten the hatches’ and orf
to bed to read my book. It’s little
consolation knowing that the forecast is worse for the West and North of Bonnie
Scotland.

I
enjoyed the Colinsburgh ‘Lite Lunch’, the soup (mushroom) was superb, as was
the rhubarb crumble; however, although the
chat was great there was nothing in the way of juicy gossi ... er
news. As far as I can make out there’s
nothing happening, anywhere; except at
Ivy Cottage where the apple tree has earned a reprieve... it has produced 24
apples this year! They look like apples
should look, but they are ‘soor’ blighters.... good for Eve’s Puddings... and Apple Crumbles...
with lashing’s of added sugar!
Jimmy
and I went to Leven in the afternoon; I
wanted to get one of those wee compressors for blowing up car tyres, Jimmy want
some light bulbs. The weather was
foul
on the way along to Leven, but it was quite nice on the way back. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a very fruitful ‘mission’;
Jimmy
bought one light bulb, and, because it wasn’t in stock, I have to pick up my
compressor thingy tomorrow, or Friday.
We never even went to Sainsbury’s.... for anything!

Wellll
... that’s another day, to add onto the 28,679 that I have already bumbled my
way through, on lovely Mother Earth.
They seem to be passing faster now... but maybe that’s because I’m
moving slower!
