"Independence Day" USA ....
4th
July 2017 (Tuesday)
..... Happy “Independence Day”,
to all my friends in US of A; have fun on
this your Especial Day.
We
have a dreich morning here .... overcast and wet stuff being brought in from
the
North sea on a light easterly breeze;
not a mornin g for ‘this boy’ being out and about. Thankfully I have the ‘Tour’ to watch
later.

My
latest ‘girl friend’(?), HMS Queen Elizabeth is a sneaky lady ... she keeps
creeping in and out of the Firth in the dark:
and is now ‘messing about’ in the North Sea. It’s
a good job she is ‘tagged’; I know
where ‘she’ is, .... most of the time.

Jimmy
came along for a cuppa in the morning;
after that we went down to the Sailing Club for another cuppa .... at “Lorraine’s Place” (The Galley), and
watched the action in the harbour. It
was a fine morning for being taught various water activities etc by Elie Water
Sports; and Elie Bay was busy with wind
surfers, board walkers etc.
When
I got back to Ivy I moved the car to a more accessible ‘mooring’; I might want to go out early some
morning. Getting the car parked,
over the next six weeks can be a ‘worry’.
Since then I’ve down an ironing, during the doing of which I watched “Le
Tour”; I am now feeling weak with all
this effort. There wasn’t much in the
way of hill climbing today ..... it was a day for the
‘sprinters’ coming into their
own at the end of the race .... and crashes;
which happened in the race to cross the ‘line’.

Mark Cavendish got a bad one ... and,
despite being able to finish today’s stage... might have to drop out.
The
weather has been disappointing today .... ‘drab’ could be a fair description;
however tomorrow is forecast to be ‘better’ ... “overcast but dry”.... wioth
the chance of ‘Scotch Mist’ along the East coast.
