Bright and breezy ....
27th
April 2017 (Drop
in Cafe Day) .... 08.00 It’s a braw kind
of morning; a mixture of clouds, and ‘bloo’
sky, with a frisky wind..... and it’s not too
warm yet though it is supposed to
become warmer later today. The wind
is forecast to increase by midday so I’m going out on the bike after I’ve fed “Blob”
and friends.

I
expect the will villages be busy this weekend, with it being the ‘may day’ Bank
holiday.
the ‘floor plan’ is unusual! There
are two houses being built on the site just now, and there are another two plots
waiting to be developed.

I
spent most of the morning doing housework , though I managed to forget to do
the washing that’s in the machine.... it will be done tonight, and hung out
first thing in the morning. Luckily
Jimmy came along and I had to stop and put on the kettle; I did not do anymore housework, until after
lunch; even then it was only a perfunctory
thing to make me feel less guilty; I had the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon.
Although
the wind rose in strength after lunch
time, it had lost the chilliness of the past few days, and I biked along to the
‘Cafe’. The ‘Cafe’ was quiet at first
but soon the hall was filled with the sound of happy laughter and chattering; the sound of contented customers.
As
is our norm after the ‘Cafe’ Jimmy and I went down to the harbour; yacht Artemis
was leaving the harbour for a
sail round the bay, and the ‘Auld Place’ looked bonnie in the afternoon
sun; a nice place to potter around for
half an hour.

Tomorrow
is the first day of the ‘Elie Scarecrow Festival’ (and ‘Earlsferry’) so the
villages should be busy. The weather forecast
is ‘good’ ... but it could turn cloudier in the afternoon with the chance of a
light shower.
