...08.30 The weather at Elie and
Earlsferry this morning is, mostly, “overcast, and not as windy as it was
yesterday”.

Although less windy, what
wind there was made it feel chilly down on the beach this morning, at 07.00. It (the beach ) was not busy; the only person on it did not linger long,
and was back in Ivy having a cuppa within 20 minutes. The ‘plan’ was; that the sun would be blistering hot by 09.00
and I’d be out working in the garden. It
looks like it may have to be Plan ‘B’, which has yet to be thought about. This calls for serious caffeine ... I’ll
have a mug o’ coffee!
20.30 By lunch time, we had one of those cold,
grey days; a ‘depressing’ or Seasonally
Affected Disorder (SAD being the acronym) kind of day mostly,... though we did
get a few ‘bright spells. But even
then it was cold. I did my morning
walk along the beach, Chapel green and home via Sea Tangle road.... where I met
Jimmy coming down from Chapel Green and got a lift back to Ivy. At this time it looked like being a bonnie,
if cool, day. The seaweed gatherers were
working right out on the rocks... it must have been cold. They do have the proper clothing for the
job; they’d certainly

need it today.
After
our morning coffee Jimmy went off home to fix the zip on a jacket; I decided to work in the garden. Today I surprised myself and tidied up the
outside seating etc up at the Hutte.... and enjoyed it. Perhaps, because at this time the weather was
grey and dismal looking, working in the garden nullified the SAD affect! The ‘plan’
for tomorrow is to get ‘up’ early, and get some more of tidying up done, before
Jimmy and I go along to The Fisheries Museum for coffee/tea. That said, the weather forecast for tomorrow
is not overly exciting... much the same as today’s in fact.

crumbs, and has the ‘look of love’, ( a sort of dopey Robin look), about him. Having said that, I used to feed Maggie every time we went to the cinema; no, not Digestive biscuits; a box of Maltesers... 1/6d (7½p) it
cost. The ‘in love, dopey look’ I was
born with.

changed rapidly.
