Overcast and cool....
29th
May 2017 (Monday)
.... 10.30 The weather is “iggzactly”
as was
forecast .... “overcast with a cold Easterly wind”; a nice enough day for walking, which is what
I did. Instead of going out on the
bike I walked the beach, Sea Tangle road and Chapel Green ‘route’, and had a good
potter about the ‘Dome Park’ and the Chapel Ness rocks. I say ‘cold’ East wind, but it isn’t that
cold, but it is noticeably cooler that it was in Summer time ... oops ..
over the past few days.

22.30
The weather remained mostly dull all day; and we had a short spell of light rain around
lunchtime. The rain put paid to my ‘plan’,
which was to go up to Chapel Green with the Canon camera, to take a photo in less windy conditions than
it was in morning. However that can
wait; and the wind never really dropped
anyway. Instead of going out I
switched on the tele to watch the News.
When I woke up I discovered two things;
it was raining, and all my neighbours seem to have gone orf home. I’m feeling ‘lonely’ again.

Jimmy
came along, so being at a ‘loose end’ we decided to take Sooper Buggy II for a
run along to Leven, where we’d have a cuppa in Sainsbury’s. This
was handy because I need Cornflakes for a ‘Top Secret’ mission that I am
nurturing.
We
met Iain Walker in Sainsbury’s.... he had been at the Swimming Pool, and had
some shopping to do afterwards. By the
time Jimmy and I got home from Leven it was time to think ‘food’.... in fact it
was time to do more than just think of ‘food’ .... “Puku” was hungry .... it
was time to eat something
.
Heather
and Alistair (up from Durham for, the holiday weekend), came down for a coffee
and to update me on the progress they have made with the Philip Scott/USA
connection,
recently initiated by a lady from the USA, via Elie and Earlsferry
History Society. Having delved back to the 1790’s, Heather has
discovered that there is in fact a definite connection. Philip, “Skipper”, never knew about the ‘Scott
family’ in USA.

The
weather for tomorrow is forecast to be slightly better than today’s has been, though
it will start cloudy, we should have showers and sunshine by midday.
