Gorgeous, but breezy, day .....
20th
February 2017 (Monday)
14.00 ... we have a lovely day, but
very windy, however it isn’t that cold... even exposed to the wind. I walked along the
beach to the “Paper Shop”
in Elie, first thing this morning... at that time the sky was overcast with
clouds scuttling over from the West.
Since then the clouds have melted away, and we have 90% ‘bloo’ sky...
but the wind has increased to round about F7.... but it’s warm. It’s 13c in Ivy garden.

Jimmy
and I went along to Leven to do some shopping ... in Lidl’s for a change. I got Persil washing powder considerably
cheaper than it would have been in Sainsbury’s , and dish washer tablets, also
cheaper. Of course I offset the
bargains by buying a stock of plain biscuits etc!... and a packet o’ Japanese ‘monkey
nuts’ covered in Wasabi flavoured green stuff:
this has turned out to be very ‘nippy’, and excellent for clearing the
tubes! Probably make no bad paint remover too!

21.30 I’m finally ‘back to “my” normal’ .... I
got ‘up’ when “Wallace and Gromit” fired up (05.40) ... which was more than an
hour and a half before sunrise. I did
things... and ate things, before going out for the paper.
Today
was my first walk along to Elie; and I
enjoyed it. I met ‘Sapper’ taking
Graham out for his morning walk.... its ‘Sapper’s’ birthday today so “Happy
Birthday Sapper”: he is twelve.... and
is looking good. (Nae ‘puku’ to carry
about!) ‘Sapper’ is a ‘Retriever’; a Retriever that disnae actually retrieve a
ball; he gives it a perfunctory “what am
I supposed to do with that” look, then picks it up .... sometimes! Enjoy your birthday “Sapper” you are an
especial ‘dawg’.
I’m
thinkin’ it’s time I had a wander round Balcarres, .... the words ‘small’ and ‘adventure’
spring to mind.... but I’ll leave that until next week.... when there should be
more signs of Spring around the woods etc.
Today
I finally got all the ‘holiday’ clothes washed,
ironed and put away, .... Ivy is,
like me; back
to normal. I’m contemplating polishing
things .... I like the smell o’ the polish!

I
bought a frozen Lemon Meringue Pie in Lidl’s .... the plan is for Jimmy and me
to scoff it on the first rainy day;
that looks like being Thursday!
