Bright and breezy ... and so is the weather
19th
August 2017 (Saturday)
... 09.00 There’s a frisky Northwest
wind this morning.... apart from that wind, and it being cool, it’s a lovely,
fresh morning;
but really windy, and cauld,
down at the harbour. My immediate ‘plan’
is to make a flask of Coffee, and one of Lemon Tea, so that Jimmy and I can
have our morning cuppa on The Boss’s seat;
it, The Boss’s seat, is sheltered from the west wind. Linda and John have already been up there and
left a posy of flowers ; for the first
time I was unable to put a Dunblane Rose on the seat .... because of the wet
summer.

20.30 The frisky wind became really frisky round
about midday; this friskiness curtailed
my biking plans. I’d been out on the
bike, three times round the villages on special missions, so I’ve done ‘nae bad’ for exercise. One of the missions was ‘Morning Coffee’
on the Boss’s Seat; Jimmy missed that because he was coming down,
from Chapel Green, as I was going up: we
had another ‘morning coffee’ in the Hutte.

After
pruning one of the rose bushes, I decided that it might be too early in the
season to do this; I Googled the subject,
and it turns out that I can prune them lightly After summer(?) then ‘hit them’
in March. I’ll continue with the
pruning ‘ra morra’.
Jimmy
was at a loose end in the afternoon; we
had a cuppa and made plan: to go along
to St Monans harbour, Pittenweem harbour, then come home by a circuitous route. Sam (Jimmy’s grandson) was blowing up flat things,
with a compressor, in St Monans, ... they were round when he finished, .... we
had an ice cream in Pittenweem, and then
travelled back to Elie via the dump
(Pittenweem) , Arncroach, and
Kinneuchar. This filled in the
afternoon nicely.

It’s strange; when I’m sitting in Ivy I notice if I have
any ‘sair bits’; as soon as I go out
with the camera, they, the sair bits, vanish.
I took the last of my antibiotic pills today and they have been ‘bothersome’....
I should begin to get back to normal tomorrow. Jings.... that’s another thing to worry
about .... being ‘normal’.
Tomorrow
is forecast to be slightly warmer, and less windy... with the chance of showers
later.
