.... 09.30 Oh my word .... it’s cold out there this
morning; a definite touch of winter in
the air. I’ve been up to Elie on the bike;

Okay going East .... hard work
coming back into the West wind. In
spite of the drop in temperature I’m feeling ‘brighter’ this morning .... almost
frisky in fact. I’ll go out and do
some more stuff in the garden .... after another morning cuppa.
20.00 I’ve had a busy day.... a busy day that
included doing some work in the garden. After my morning cuppa (mentioned above)
Jimmy arrived needing to go to Leven to get the car washed; so that was the first mission. It’s one of the few times that we’ve been
to Leven without going to any of the shops to buy vitally needed ‘stuff’; and instead of going to Sainsbury’s for a
cuppa we went straight down to ‘Lorraine’s Place’ at the sailing Club, and had
our cuppa there. By this time the sun
was up and had warmed up the air some.... the wind,

unfortunately did the
opposite.... but this did not deter the holiday folks, who were out and about,
around the harbour and on the beach. Many
of the boat owners were busy getting their vessel’s ready for ‘Crane In’ which
is next Saturday, the 22nd. The harbour
will be a busy place that morning: let’s
hope that the weather is kind.
I
didn’t get into the garden until after lunch, but when I did I did so with ‘gusto’:
a
short lived spell of ‘gusto’ as it turned out: I ended up in the Hutte having ‘50’. I only ‘rested’ for 10 minutes or so, but I
was refreshed and even more full of ‘gusto’ than I had been earlier. Jimmy arrived so we had a cuppa then went
down to the sailing Club; the gardening,
and the ‘gusto’ had been, quietly, put
on the ‘back burner’.
The villages are really busy, which is always
good to see, .... it’ a pity that we’re going

through a cold spell of
weather. That said, the cold hasn’t stopped folk from
going to the beach. I guess the only ‘downside’
is the ‘parking’ .... the streets are choc a bloc, and parking is tricky. I noticed yellow stickers on some
cars; the Traffic Wardens have been round!
Tomorrow
morning we, the EKC Church, have an, outdoor, Easter Service down at the
harbour, on the lee side of the sailing Club;
this is followed by tea/coffee and breakfast rolls in the Kirk Hall. The Service starts at around about 08.00. It will be chilly so wrap up warm; showers are not forecast until later in the
morning.

you can see Jimmy ensconced in the ‘Royal Chair’.
