30th
November 2016 St Andrew’s
Day ..... Have
a lovely, and happy, St Andrew’s Day wherever you are on Mother Earth... and what better way
is there to begin this ‘Scottish Day’, than with some of the best, ‘Fit Tappin’ Scottish tunes! This
is also Irene’s Birthday .... “Happy
Birthday Irene” .... I’m sure that Ken will have some secret surprise for you
on your especial day. xx

08.00 There’s a bit of cloud about and it’s
windy, but a nice enough start to ‘St Andrews
Day’..... considering it’s the last day of November. I’m orf to have a cuppa while waiting on
Jill (Nurse) coming to remove the catheter.
Must go ‘ever so slight Flap On’.
14.30 Jill (the District nurse) had to come back
to re-insert another catheter:
obviously some work needs to be done to clear my problem. The next move(s) will be ‘sorted out, when I go up to St Andrews on December 13th. The good news is; at
least I can drink as many mugs o’ tea that I want! Orf to put the kettle on.

21.00 After Jill left I had a cuppa, then went up
to Elie in the car to get the papers, milk, and have a run down to the harbour,
to see what was going on down there.
Nothing .... I was ‘it’; the only
person admiring the villages from the pier.
I admit that there was a better place to be.... but the view from inside
Ivy wouldn’t have been as nice. I went
back to Ivy, where I found that, although the view was not ‘iggzactly’
thrilling .... Ivy was warm: I put the
kettle ‘on’ and made a cuppa.
When
I was down at the harbour I’d noticed that the sky was such that we might have
a
spectacular sunset; I bumbled down to
the beach, well wrapped up, and was not disappointed. The sunset sky, in every direction of the
compass was astonishing! It was a lovely
watching the sky being suffused with all that wondrousness!

No
matter what the weather is like tomorrow we have the Drop in Cafe in the
afternoon.... that said, the forecast for tomorrow is good: brighter and less windy.
