Feeling animated .....
20th
August 2017 (Sunday)
.... 08.30 We have ‘bright and sunny’
with a nice autumnal North Westerly breeze;
and I’m feeling animated. I’ve
been round Chapel Green.... I’m now having breakfast, one and a half Shredded Wheat
with honey and milk, followed
by a mug of coffee .... while I wait for the washing machine to finish birlin’
so that I can hang out the washing, before going up to Elie for a paper. It’s a lovely for spreading love and happiness
around .... and, there’s Teas/Coffee in
Kilconquhar Church this afternoon, the very place to find copious amounts of
all four.... love happiness, tea and coffee.... plus goodies.

20.30 Oh my word ... didn’t we do well at the
Kinneuchar Coffee/Tea afternoon .... three boys (senior variety), and one real
boy managed to clear their two tier cake stand... as in nothing left. We have been missing our ‘goodies’. The Coffee/Tea afternoon was quiet... which
was disappointing; that said, we had, as ever, 'love
and happiness' in abundance!

Jimmy
and I went down to the Sailing Club to torment ... er chat to Lorraine
and have a cuppa. Lorraine wasn’t
there so we had the cuppa; and during
the ‘having’ of it, Lorraine and Stuart appeared: they
had been out for a romantic run in the car. Mike
came in after his last trip round the bay’ for today; he,
Mike, was quickly followed by another
sailor .... I became quite dizzy listening to all the nautical talk.
We
have had a lovely evening; actually it
has been a lovely day, though it did turn rather cloudy for a couple of hours
in the afternoon. Anyway I went down
to my er the beach for a relaxing daunder, thinking it would be quiet; to my surprise it was busy so I had a quick
walk down to the water, took a few photos,
then scampered back up to Ivy. I was expecting to find a few more ‘parking
places’ to choose from after today, but it seems that we might have another
week of a ‘parking lottery’. Parking
has been diabolical for the past three weeks.... in fact I've taken to using the car only when absolutely necessary.

Tomorrow
is forecast to be another bonnie, and less windy, day. I’ll get ‘up and out’ early, then back into
Ivy for the remainder of the day.
