Dour look to the sky ....
9th
July 2017 (Sunday)
.... 10.00 Hmmmm ....we have ‘overcast
but dry’ just now; sometimes the clouds look
like breaking up letting the sun through.... but
that can change to ‘threatening
rain’ in ‘nae time’; light rain is forecast for later. Having said it is a nice day for being out; and I have been; ‘out’ i.e.
I biked down to Elie harbour via the Breakwater and South Street. The aroma of fresh coffee was very inviting
at the Breakwater, .... where I met, and chatted to Elizabeth and ‘Sapper’. With it
being overcast, and there’s a brisk WNW breeze, it is cooler .... the air has
an autumnal feel to it.

21.00 Thank goodness that tomorrow is a ‘rest day’
(with the Tour de France); I’m mair tired
tonight than I was last night with the mountain climbing. It was long and hard today, and the French
rider, who led for most of Stage 9, was
pipped at the post
by less than an inch!
In between watching the ‘Tour’ I cleaned out my main computer. It has been a good day for doing that.

We
haven’t had a ‘bonnie’ day here .... overcast, and dour .... with rain for most
of the afternoon. It was fortuitous
that I went biking in the morning.... I only
wish I’d gone further. The weather
forecast for tomorrow isn’t “iggzactly” exciting; though it isn’t going to be very windy, what
wind there is will be from the east.... not so good. We might have a short bright spell .....
one, would be one more than we’ve had today.
Oh .... and it isn’t going to be
overly warm! Yes .... it’s summer time.
Now
I’m sure you will all be interested to know how “Albatross” (you can’t forget
‘her’
... she left the Firth yesterday with oil rig attached), is bumbling along on her
way to Corpus Christi: ‘she’ passes
through the ‘skinny bit’ of English Channel tonight and will be poodling along,
orf the south coast of England tomorrow.
“JB” could get lucky and might just see the top of the oil rig!

‘The
Boy’ has nae plans for tomorrow; it all
depends on what the weather is doing.
With it being a ‘rest day’ I’ll be able to do something away from the
precincts of Ivy!
