Nice cool morning ....

October 2016 (Monday)
.... 09.00 This
clock change is a nuisance .... I was creepin’ aboot at quarter to six,
thinking it was quarter to seven; I
suppose it
means I’ll have a longer day to do things... and up in loads of time
to go down to the beach for sunrise .... at 07.18!

There’s
a noticeably cool breeze down on the
beach this morning; however, when I
left Ivy I thought the air was warm.... I didn’t even think there was a breeze
at all! There was a bonnie, pre – sunrise, ‘light’

by a cloud bank, with the sun not making an appearance until tem minutes after sunrise

the weather forecast showing rain later in the afternoon, I went out for
another walk in the morning: only up,

and harbour, and out to the Elie Lighthouse. .... and, there’s an abundance of
seats, from which you can enjoy the various
views. Jimmy turned up when I was
pottering around the Chapel itself, on his way round to “Alice’s Seat”... so I
joined him. We watched a teenager
making heavy work of going round the Chapel Green on a bike; it was stuck in the highest gear. The effort would strengthen his legs! When he, the teenager, had gone off on his merry
