(Thursday).... 09.30 Only 100 days
left until Christmas .... but, forget that;
at the moment we are about a
thousand or so feet from

a sunny day ..... it’s foggy, with Scotch Mist, so not
a bonnie looking morning at ground level.
I’ve been out on the bike, and the only brightness I met was, Graham out
with Sapper at the Breakwater, then Carol, out for her morning walk down at the
harbour. I’m hoping that the sun will burn off the cloud bank,....
because it's murky, and dreich, just now;
it’s the kind of morning for going shopping.... or out for a cuppa.

21.30 This actually turned out to be a very
exhilarating day for me.... I got some interesting ‘fog’ photographs of our
gorgeous looking part of the planet. Regardless of the weather there are always
exciting photo ‘opportchancities’ around Elie and Earlsferry.
The
morning part of ‘today’ was not overly exciting, so, after our morning cuppa
Jimmy and I went to Leven to do a wee shopping.... more or less just to get us
out someplace. The sky was brighter
along at Leven, but not sunny. Anyway,
we did our shopping; Jimmy ended up
with half a trolley full of vital supplies... I ended up with three tubes of my
favourite

toothpaste ,“Oral B Clean Mint”.... it was £1.50 cheaper (per tube)
than in other shops. I got back home
to find that I already had four tubes stashed away in the medicine cupboard; so now I have seven! Oh well .... I like my teeth to be clean.
The
‘Drop in Cafe’ was really busy this afternoon .... there was a healthy ‘buzz’
all afternoon... with most of the noise coming from Honor’s table. The other, or “boy’s” table, (it had, in point of fact, more girls
than boys around it),... . was more demure.
Of course this is not surprising .... boys are generally more ‘timid’
than girls. It was a nice afternoon of
happy banter... well lubricated with tea/coffee and biscuits!
Jimmy
and I went down to the harbour after the ‘Cafe’; the fog was heavy at first but

a light
breeze got up and began to move it, the fog, around a bit.... which made for
some interesting photographs; and the
sun was making inroads on the fog so the light was amazing. I enjoyed this. With the weather forecast for tomorrow
morning being ‘wet’ early, I shall have photographs to ‘play’ with until the
sun shines.
I
eventually got back to Ivy to find Jimmy ensconced in the Hutte, waiting for a
cuppa. We had one each.... mug o’
tea.... and a chocolate biscuit. Since
then I’ve had food, and will spend the remainder of the evening playing
working with photos.... with time out to Skype ‘M’. Skype isnae working very well just now so
it’s sometimes like using a phone... voice but nae picture.
