Raining....
2nd
December 2016 (Friday)
.... 09.00 O dear ... there’s a lot of
unwanted dampness around this morning;
on two counts: I’ve ‘skelt’ a
glass of water, and it’s raining. This was not on the ‘plan’ for today! The glass of water was
easy to clear up...
the rain could take longer. The forecast
was for it to be cloudy, with the chance of rain on the East Coast: that’s Crail... not Elie and ‘The Royal
Burgh’! It’s a grand day for shopping.

21.00 The mission to Leven went as planned,
though we have a change of routine;
Jimmy wanted to see if “Iceland”, in Leven High Street, had some
different ready meals, and, as far as I could see they did, because he came out
with three carrier bags full! I ‘browsed’ but didn’t buy; as I’m in the middle of emptying my freezer
before I go on holiday. From the High Street we went over North
Street to a second hand shop that Jimmy knew of ; jings it wisnae half a clutter. There might have been some good stuff in
there, but it was well buried, and smelt heavily of cigarette smoke.
Our
next stop was at Sainsbury’s where Jimmy went up to the Cafe for a cuppa while
I did my shopping. I bought the ingredients, for a trial run of
shortbread making, sometime tomorrow.... (most likely the afternoon)! Unusually, for me, I actually got
everything that was on my shopping list, ... plus the odd ‘goodie’. Jimmy had finished his cuppa by the time I
went upstairs, so we tidied up the table and headed back to Elie. By this time the sky had cleared and we had
the makings of a bonnie afternoon
ahead.

In
the afternoon we went along to visit Chris in the Windmill, arriving just in
time to catch the end of a choir singing Christmas Carols in the downstairs lounge. Chris wasn’t in a singing mood today, she
was mair worried about us getting a cuppa.... which we did. This was not my lucky day at the
Windmill; the chair that I sat on was
wet ... someone had ‘skelt’ juice on it;
I hope! I’m hoping we have a
good drying day tomorrow.
On the way home we went down to St Monans
Harbour to see what was happening down there, but it was late afternoon by this
time, and ‘not much’ would be the best
way to describe what was ‘happening’.

We
had rain earlier this evening but I think it has cleared away now, and tomorrow
is forecast to be cloudy, with very little wind .... unhappily, not a ‘drying
day.
