Overcast and breezy.... but warm; and dry
19th
April 2017 (Wednesday)
.... 09.00 Hmmmmm .... it is overcast
but dry (though it looks like we could catch some spits and spots o’ rain),
with a light, and
warmer, Westerly wind;
and, we should get some sunny spells in the afternoon. I don’t have a ‘plan’ for today: I’ll probably get the bike out after I have
another cuppa.... I need some exercise. Cars
are useful; but not but not when it comes to keeping fit.

12.30 It’s actually cooler now than it was first
thing.... the wind has increased in strength, and with that so has the chill
factor. I walked along the beach for
the papers, and ‘bumped into’ Myra at the top of School Wynd; Myra reckoned that I looked like a ‘stray
mutt’ (I must remember to brush my hair before I go out), and invited me to
join herself and Jim in the ‘Harbour House’ for morning coffee. This was a good opportunity to quiz
Jim and
Myra aboot the ‘tram recording’ thing I ‘came across’ the other day; Jim and Myra come from opposite ends of
Kirkcaldy, and know the whole town like ‘the back o’ their hand(s)’. Geoff came in and the four of us chatted
about nigh on everything important .... this did not include the upcoming General
Election. Marcia ‘dropped in’ for morning coffee .... it
seems like I haven’t seen her for ages: ‘Harbour
House’ was busy. Jim and Myra left to
go to Dundee and I wandered back to Ivy.

20.00 The sun broke through about midday, and we’ve
had a bonnie afternoon/ evening.... though quite cool, in what by now was a ‘brisk
breeze’. Jimmy came along in the
afternoon, and we ended up going to Leven, where I bought ‘Blob Fodder’ .... and
‘Oral ‘B’ toothpaste; both purchased in the
‘Cheap Shop’. We didn’t even go to
Sainsbury’s for a cuppa; but had one at
Ivy.

Tomorrow
Jim and I are going up to St Andrews Botanic Gardens with our cameras; the weather forecast is ‘nae bad’....
overcast mostly, but brighter than today.
I’m looking forward to seeing the ‘signs of Spring’ around the gardens
... and the Butterfly House. We should get some decent photographs; don’t want too much light about when photographing
Spring buds and colourful butterflies.
