Cleaning out filing cabinet ....
29th
October 2016 (Saturday)
.... 10.00 The sun is occasionally managing to burn
holes in a generally overcast sky, so we might have some ‘sunny spells’
later; but it looks like being a mostly
grey day.

I
went out to the end of the sewage pipe (which it isn’t) at low tide, but with
the weather being on the ‘dour side of drab’, it wasn’t inspiring out
there. Having said that I like
looking at the villages from a different angle, though they looks better from a
boat at high tide.... then you have reflections.
22.30 It did turn out to be ‘mostly a grey
day’... but not a cold one. I spent
most of the day going through the stuff in Maggie’s filing cabinet; the waste paper bucket (the ‘grey’ bucket) is
nearly full so I had to stop.
It....the paper waste does not go out until the 11th November. The filing cabinet was one of those long
slow jobs, because I stopped to look at and read stuff: Maggie threw nothing of importance out! In fact she kept stuff that she knew that we would like to look at in our ‘old
age’: unfortunately I have to enjoy all
of it on my own.... and that can be hard at times. You will understand that this ‘job’ took me
a long time.... on what was a drab afternoon:
but, hey, it was only the weather that was drab.

I
did take ‘time out’ when Jimmy came along for a mid afternoon cuppa; after which we went along to St Monans
Harbour for a change of scenery..... but St Monans was quieter that Elie and
The Royal Burgh. In fact our wee
villages have been really busy today, which is kind of ‘odd’: normally we would be quiet at this time of
year. The ‘holiday season’ is
stretching out to take in more of the year;
this is good because it means that The Royal Burgh will be alive for most of the year.
My
laptop seems to be suffering from the “Windows 10 Flu” .... ‘a thread stuck in device driver’ notice came
up and the laptop has to restart.
Hopefully that will repair/sort it out.
Jimmy
and I are going to Sainsbury’s for our morning cuppa tomorrow; and we’ll get
any shopping that we need at
the same time. The weather forecast is
not ‘bonnie’ .... much the same as today with a better chance of some rain in
the morning.
