Hmmmmm ..... it's raining
14th
August 2017 (Monday)
.... Jings, the Buddleia bush is looking wet and miserable this dreich morning: we have steady rain, and only a breath of
wind (from the south east), so the flower-heads are heavy, with water dripping
orf the ends
.... not a pretty sight. The
rain is forecast to become more ‘intermittent’ by the afternoon, with a small
chance of some sightings of the sun: this
is definitely a good “coffee in
Sainsbury’s Cafe, followed by a shopping session” morning. Must go,
slight flap on... not good when I’m
going to have my BP checked.
sacrifices we
‘boy’s’ have to make to keep the girls happy.
On the way back to Ivy, I called in at the Chemist to pick up the
aforementioned antibiotics.

21.00 The shopping trip to Leven was a good move
... it wasn’t raining in Leven, and the sun broke through the clouds. That weather eventually moved along to Elie
and Earlsferry, but not until after midday.... but it has been a funny kind of
day with the weather... very unsettled.
I had an enjoyable ‘retail therapy’ session in Sainsbury’s, managing to
remember everything that was on the list;
the list was at home,.... on the
kitchen worktop! It was raining when
I got back to Ivy, but not to heavily:
which was handy because I had to ‘moor’ the car, a long way up the High
Street .... near Castwell Wynd.

My
BP was fine, but it has been erratic so I’ve to keep an ‘eye on it’.... and
make an appointment if it doesn’t settle down. I’m just a ‘bag o’ nerves’. In point of fact, The first thing the Nurse
said was.... “you have a UTI”, so I am on a course of antibiotics to clear that
up. No wonder I’ve been feeling ‘under
the weather’ for the past few days.
In
the afternoon Jimmy and I were having a cuppa, in Ivy, when Jimmy had a brainwave; “let’s go down to see Lorraine on this
miserable looking afternoon .... she is bound to be missing us!”. Into the car we leapt ... er crept
...and were down at the harbour in ‘nae time’ where Lorraine, who had been ‘ooverin’
and dustin’ with a view to scampering orf home; was ever so glad to see us. We
lingered at Lorraine’s for a few minutes (45 or so) then we scampered out to
the car so that Lorraine could get finished for the day. The

The
weather is forecast to be brighter tomorrow... but we might have a random shower
later in the day.
‘Nae
plan’ for tomorrow, but I want to get out on the bike... which I haven’t been
able to do today. I did have a walk
down to the beach in the evening.
