Overcast morning ...
18th
February 2017 (Saturday)
.... 09.00 we have drab looking
morning, but not that cold in spite of a brisk wind from the Southwest. I
know all this
because I went down to see the sunrise (07.31), but I didn’t... (see the sunrise) because there was a bank of
cloud on the Eastern horizon.
Nevertheless, even though the ‘sunrise’ wasn’t visible there was a bit
of colour in the sky .... and loads of fresh Elie and Earlsferry air!

I’m
sure you will be happy to know that the microwave porridge was a complete
success this morning..... three, minutes
and ten seconds takes it up to ‘the point of overflowing’ ... a quick stir,
then back in again for another 20 seconds, and that’s it. A bigger bowl would be ideal but I don’t
think I have one. That said, there
most likely is one, .... Maggie had everything that any kitchen needs! Oh no .... it’s getting awfie ‘rainy’ looking from the
West; just when I was going out for a
walk!
21.30 This
‘boy’ has been a busy ‘boy’ today;
catching up with all the paperwork, and most of the housework, that was
waiting for me when I got home.
It
takes me about five days to acclimatise after I come home, and it’s the same
when I
arrive in Sussex. I’ve been going
to my bed early, and sleeping like a log for the past few nights,... I reckon I
should be back to normal after another early night tonight. I could go to my bed at 20.00 and sleep
through till Wallace and Gromit time... 06.45.

Although
I did a lot of ‘work’ today, I did manage to go for a ‘roond the Chapel’ walk
in the morning. After lunch I went
along to Elie to post a letter and met Jimmy who was out in his car so we went
down to the harbour. There was a lot
of folks at the harbour.... most of them taking photographs because there was a
bonnie, if threatening, sky. That’s
one thing about digital photography, it has opened the door to everyone
taking loads
of photos: and the added pleasure of ‘playing’
with them (the photos) on the computer.

It’s
forecast to be bright and breezy tomorrow .... and warmer, though there may be
a chance of showers in the afternoon.
