Bonnie .... but not a 'good hair' day ...
30th
May 2017 (Tuesday)
.... although it is overcast, with occasional spells of light rain, the tide is
‘in’, and the sea is like a ‘mirrah’.... yes I’ve been out (on the
bike because
I can cover more ground that way) got a load of reflection photos from the
cliffs to the harbour.... and, I did get
caught in one of the wet spells;
but it was worth it. Actually the sun is going to break through
soon so I’ll get out on the bike again;
and get some ‘brighter’ pictures:
it should be ‘bright and sunny’ .... with showers in the afternoon.

22.30 I’m a happy boy tonight.... having had a
reasonably busy and satisfying day. I
got some excellent ‘reflection’ photos in the early part of the day, and some ‘bright
and sunny’ ones on the beach later in the morning. We have had a lovely day, which is ending
with a gorgeous, if breezy, evening.
The ‘troops’ Jim and Jimmy have been
down for our weekly Tuesday evening
‘meeting’; when we discuss things
local... and sometimes, but rarely, things political. The General Election is on the 8th June,
which means we have another eight days of empty promises. Having a Postal Vote I have already voted,
so don’t have to bother about listening to any more of the repetitive ‘waffle’.

In
the early part of the afternoon I baked ‘Melting Moments. Jimmy arrived as the first batch came out of
the oven, so we had a cuppa ... and an ‘MM’.... before we went to Leven to buy
a battery operated can opener for Jimmy.
That was the only ‘shopping’ we did .... which is unusual. We didn’t even bother with a cuppa in
Sainsbury’s. That is even mair
unusual!
My
‘plan’ for tomorrow, is to be ‘out’ early, if the wind has dropped overnight,
which it
is forecast to do. I will do
the same run as I did this morning, plus Elie Estate, which I didn’t do this
morning because it started to rain. The weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘good’: a mix of sunshine and clouds. I don’t have to worry about lunch as we
have the Lite Lunch in Colinsburgh Town Hall at 12.30.

I
will get orf to bed now .... I started a new book a couple of nights ago and it
is one of those kind that is hard to put down ....and I’m planning to get ‘up’
early!
