Bright and breezy ....
16th
March 2017 (Drop
in Cafe Day) .... 09.00 It’s a ‘bright
and breezy’ morning ... a bonnier yesterday’s..... and, though not exactly
warm, it doesn’t look, nor feel, as cold as yesterday. I’ll go and pick a few weeds; after I tell you
about my strange dream. The
dream : I was among a crowd of people, walking up a
steep street, like Uckfield High Street;
I don’t know where we’d been, nor where we were going, but the bloke next
to me said “ I think I’m going to be sick”.
The person in front of him, a lassie with dark hair, was wearing an
anorak with the hood dangling on her back: he puked straight into that. I woke up thinkin’ ... “I hope it disnae
rain!” Where do dreams like that come
from?

I’ve finished my cuppa so I’ll go and uproot a
few weeds from Mother Earth!
21.00 ‘Today’ has just flown past; I seem to have been everywhere.... except
the beach. It has been a nice enough
day, though we did have a rain shower, just as I was getting ready to walk
along to the ‘Drop in Cafe’. I took the
car.
First
thing this morning I did pull a few weeds, but the ‘broon’ bucket’ is nigh on ‘full’
so weeding etc isn’t the best idea; not
until the road to the recycling Depot at Pittenweem in ‘open’ again.
Jimmy arrived early this morning; instead of a morning cuppa, he wanted to go
down to St Monans harbour at low tide to see the bottom of the harbour where
the dredger has been. They have shifted
a lot o’ muck; and the bloke said he still has a 1000 tons
of
stuff to remove yet... quite impressive really. We’d decided, on the way to St Monans, that
we’d go to the Fisheries Museum for a cuppa;
and that is exactly what we did.
I’d hope to see Winston (Craw’s Nest) there, but he must have been
working in the ‘shed’. We had our
cuppa then browsed the books before going along to Crail to have a look around
the harbour. Crail harbour appears on
many Scottish Calendars, and it’s easy to see why; even with the tide out it looks bonnie. We had a general ‘browse’, and spoke to a
fisherman working to get his creel boat ready to be ‘craned in’ next week.

Our
way home from Crail was a meandering one, via the ‘back roads’ to Pitarthie
then down to Arncroach and Kinneuchar.... and finally ‘The Royal Burgh’. Jimmy went off to No 10 .... I had a look
at the morning’s photos then had a ‘lite bite’ lunch, before getting ready for
the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon.
The
‘Cafe’ was quiet at first, but got busier as the afternoon went on. As is our
routine, Jimmy and I went down to
Elie Harbour where we watched a windsurfer enjoying himself in the F5 wind.

The
weather forecast for tomorrow is not ‘pretty’;
we could get a spell of rain, which could be snow on the high ground,
from morning time though to early afternoon.
