"Outreach" meeting ... and it's not a good hair day.
5th
June 2017 (Monday) .... 08.30 We have a very ‘dreich’ start to the
morning; however the forecast is for the rain to be
replaced by ‘sunshine and
showers’ around midday. This is a perfect morning for an Outreach
meeting; and I am ready to ‘go’ but I
have an annoying cough, that should settle down after my tubes clear.

18.30 The morning rain did move on, and was
replaced by showers after lunch. Thunder
showers later in the afternoon. The
thunder passed to the West and North of us, but we caught the edge of the
showers, and heard the rumbles.
I
went down to the beach after the Outreach Meeting: I should attend more Outreach Meetings, they
are interesting: I don’t contribute
very much but help where I can. It had
stopped raining when the meeting ended, so I went home and picked up a camera, then
down to the beach for a walk. I thought
I’d have the beach to myself but no .... there were walkers with dogs, walkers without
dogs ... and me. It is HM The Queen’s ‘official’
birthday today, but I didn’t think it
was a holiday. The Monarch has had an ‘official’
birthday since 1748 when it was started by George II because he was born in
November
and thought the November weather was not suitable for ‘Trooping the
Colour’. I don’t think this is why ‘my’
beach was busy today; I think there must
be schools on holiday.

and I were sitting in the Hutte when the thunder began to roll this afternoon,
but the nearest ‘strike to the Royal Burgh was off Ruddon’s Point. We did get some spectacular cloud
formations and I took a few photos, but haven’t yet looked at them. The thunder storms appear to be petering
out, though the sky is still heavy looking to the West of us.
The
weather forecast for tomorrow is not good.... rain, on and off, for most of the
day.
I have no plans for tomorrow, but
if I feel ‘fine’ I might go to Leven for a haircut, especially if it is
raining.... it will pass the time, on what looks like being a ‘bad bad hair day’. Growing old is a challenge, even more so
when you are on your own.

I’m updating the Hutte in the early evening,
before folks begin to ‘stream’ films etc;
when that (streaming) starts the hub is forever switching off and on.
