.... 08.30 Jings the village was
quiet this morning .... with only John, a singleton jogger, myself, and the ‘Paper
Shop’ staff

| Peaceful morning. |
visible first thing; however the ‘active’ population had increased
by the time I was on my way home. It
is a lovely morning by the way; there’s
a touch of autumn in the air... perfect for being ‘up and out’ early. It’s strange how fireworks are only set orf
late at night .... one of those ‘banger’ things at 06.00 would have had
everyone ‘up’, and out, enjoying the Elie
and Earlsferry early morning vibes.
20.30 Today I managed to get out on the bike
three times .... first time was early morning.. the second when I had a mid-morning
flask of coffee up at the Boss’s Seat ...

and the third time was late in the afternoon, after I’d repaired a puncture . I’d noticed that the rear tyre was losing
pressure, but today it was absolutely flat.
There was a thorn in the tyre,.... that’s the usual cause of punctures
around this neck of the woods .... it had punctured the tube in two places
about half an inch apart. I found, and
removed, the thorn so everything is back to normal again. Biking is my way of keeping fit.
We
have had a lovely day... sunny and warm.
Jimmy and I went along to Sainsbury’s for a cuppa before lunch; I did a wee shopping when we were
there. I’ve been fancying a Fish Pie
so I bought two different ‘pies’ by the same producer .... Young. One is ‘The Admiral’s Fish Pie’ ... and the
other ‘The Fisherman’s Pie’. The
Admiral’s Pie I had for dinner; it was
tasty; but not as tasty as the salmon
and prawn Pie that Tesco’s stock; they
are scrumptious.... and well worth a trip up to Cupar soon.
All
the folk I passed the time of afternoon with, when I was up at Chapel Green, told

| Lovely afternoon. |
me that rain is forecast for tomorrow
.... as in a lot of rain; so there won’t
be any biking done. I have my annual ‘hypertension’ appointment tomorrow
morning; I’m trying to be relaxed about it, but ‘white
coat’ syndrome is sure to cut in... even with Laurie. When I think of it I may as well go shopping
after my appointment .... if it’s going to be wet anyway.

about all over the place.
