... 09.00 “Bright breezy and cool”
would be the best description for this morning’s weather; it’s a nice day for walking, but you

need to be wrapped up,
because there is a brisk Northwest wind.
Over breakfast I contemplated doing some ‘ousework this morning, but I
felt a touch of tiredness coming on, so I am going to go for a walk. This
might look like I’m just dodging doing the housework, but this is not so; the ‘master plan’ is that this walk will make me feel ‘guilty’, and
should have me ‘ouseworking’ like a demon ..... er .... maybe.
20.00 Jings ...I haven’t felt ‘guilty’ all day, so
‘ working like a demon’ never happened; instead, after our morning cuppa Jimmy
and I went to Leven to put his car through the car wash. Being in Leven I bought some different
kinds of ‘Blob’

fodder.... to help build up his strength ....and to fatten up
his spindly legs. ‘Blob’s ‘wife’ (hereafter
‘Blobette’) is trying hard to lead him astray, but, so far, he has not
succumbed to her advances, .... at least not that I know of. The especial food is required because I know
that he will ‘yield to temptation’; the
result of which will be extra mouths to feed in a few weeks.
The
wind got up to F7 or so in the middle of the afternoon, but has ‘moderated’
now, though it is still around F3-4. I had to go up to Elie to get the papers,
and milk in the afternoon, and went down to the harbour for a ‘run’. Of course the wind was really wild down
there; even blowing my woollen hat off
at one point.... however I was able to get my foot on it, before it blew into
the harbour. I took a few photos then
drove home via Balbuthie Loan and Kinneuchar.
Tomorrow’s weather is forecast to be much the same as today’s.... “bright
and breezy”. I also hope to be ‘bright
and breezy’ tomorrow; it’s the ‘Drop in
Cafe’ afternoon. The morning will be
taken up with ‘work’..... it’s ‘broon bucket’ week and I have a multitude of
garden rubbish that needs to be given a new home.... the Fife landfill site
being what I have in mind. Of course
this will only happen if ‘weakness’

has morphed into ‘vigour’.... or ‘dreaming’
into ‘focused’. Being on your own is
really hard work; when Maggie was around
life was easy; I either ‘did or hid’. Not so now ... there are umpteen decisions
that need to be ‘decided’; I’m not very good at deciding .... and there’s
nae point in hiding. Stress ... it’s a bothersome
thing!
