Overcast and windy... a warm southerly .....
24th
September 2016 (Saturday)
.... 09.30 The weather is not
spectacularly ‘bright and sunny’ this morning;
it’s of the “cloudy (but not raining),
with a warm southerly wind”, kind
..... not bonnie but nice enough to be out in.
I have ‘no plan(s)’ for today, though I will go out for a walk at some
point in the morning; ending up at the ‘Boss’s Seat’ for ‘morning
coffee .... maybe. I believe a cuppa
is called for, before I blunder into any kind of madcap ‘action’: not that I’m capable of much in the way of ‘madcap’
nowadays.... it’s mostly, just straightforward ‘blundering’.

21.00 Had I known how ‘warm’ it was going to be
on the beach I’d have worn a heavier jacket .... because it was cool in the
strong SSW wind: so much for the
weather being ‘warm’. That said, I did
have an enjoyable walk along the beach and up to Chapel Green... under what was
an interesting sky. The beach was busy,
with folk through for the weekend.... and I managed to ‘incorporate’ some of
the aforementioned walkers into the pictures to give the photographs, ‘life’
and perspective ... albeit at a distance.
When ‘M’ was here that was her job ... and she did it excellently... and
was in the foreground. When I got up
to Chapel Green, I met Jimmy coming back from his walk; we sat on one of the seats, and watched the
folk on the beach ... they looked like leaderless ants, but then that’s what
you do on a beach .... relax, and be happy!
(Thinking about it ... I don’t
suppose ‘leaderless ants’ are happy ants!)
Anyway the folks on the beach looked ‘happy’, in spite of the weather
being on the cool
side of warm! However, although
sitting watching folk on the beach is enjoyable, and not too strenuous, we both
began to feel in need of a warming cuppa and went down to Ivy.

Low
tide was at 15.20 today so I ventured down to the beach once again... this time
well wrapped up against the wind. The
weather was more or less the same as it had been in the morning, though the
wind was stronger; the sky was still an
interesting mix of different grey's, and there were folk on the beach; someone had even been building sand
castles....which is what our beach is ‘all about’; enjoying!
Jimmy
went along o the Windmill, where he found Chris in excellent form... and with
her broken arm in plaster. On the way
home he stopped at ‘Murray’s Chippy’ in St
Monans and bought a ‘pudding supper’
which he brought to Ivy and we ate it between us. The mince and ‘tauties’ I intended having
is ‘on hold’, until tomorrow, but I did have a taste ... and I think it’s the
best mince I’ve ever made: it has
Michaels ‘Top Secret’ ingredient in it.

Tomorrow’s
weather is forecast to be brighter, but still windy, probably a good day for garde ... oops
walking.
