Car check up ....
24th
April 2017 (Monday)
... 08.00 we have a “bright, breezy
and cold” morning ... a good morning for being out and about, well wrapped up,
or sheltered
from the wind. My ‘plan’ involves taking the Fiesta along
to the garage for a check over.... and I might as well go to Sainsbury’s for a
coffee... and a wee ‘shopping’ .... when I’m finished at the garage.

20.00 Jings ... we had one wild spell of weather
in the middle of the afternoon; heavy
showers of hailstones, with a wind of at F8.
I did not go out on the bike today.
The wind dropped by evening time, but the heavy shower clouds
remained.... and it was much colder, with a real wintry feel to it.
The
mechanics are happy with the Fiesta, but, and I was expecting this .... the timing
belt has to be replaced. I am happy to
do this, and have the wheel arches made good. ‘She’ goes in for the timing belt on
Wednesday, and when that is done I’ll go down to Kingdom Auto to see about the
wheel arches. After all this work is
done, I’ll
have a run to Pettycur Harbour to celebrate.

As
‘planned’ I went to Sainsbury’s and had a cuppa and some kind of “Puku” building
biscuit. It tasted good... so it
mostly likely wasn’t. Good i.e. I also did a wee ‘shopping’ when in
Sainsbury’s, then went across to the ‘Cheap Shop’ to get some ‘monkey nuts’ for
the birds. The Leven trip was a
complete success.
When
I was down on the beach this morning I met, and was talking to a lassie lady
from Edinburgh; we got round to talking
about local history, mostly Earlsferry
local history. I like talking about Earlsferry .... and
could have gone on longer/forever.... and would have walked along to the
Pilgrim’s Pier with her, but I was ‘running late’ for Leven; this was a
pity, because this lady was
really interested in the history of both villages,... and she is away back to Edinburgh.

Jimmy
needs to go shopping tomorrow so we’ll go along to Leven to get him some food,
probably in the morning. It’s forecast
to be windy and cold again tomorrow, so a good day for shopping.
