Dour looking sky ... but a good forecast ...
29th
September 2017 (Friday)
... 09.30 It’s overcast and dry this
morning... however, we have an improving forecast; “sunny spells”, though a few
showers could
creep in, later the afternoon. Sunday
is the bad day for this weekend.

There
was a ‘big flap on’ before I could have my breakfast this morning! I had to go up to the ‘Paper Shop’ for milk
(and a paper); need milk to soften up
the ‘grass’; (Shredded Wheat). Breakfast over, I will go for a walk, .... with
a contented ‘puku’.
20.00 I never did get out for a walk in the
morning; I ended up doing ‘ousewifely
stuff instead. ‘Ousewifely stuff’ included
a washing (had to wash the trousers that got covered in mud yesterday, plus
other stuff to make a load), doing the bathroom/kitchen and lobby floors, and
feeding ‘Blob’. Jimmy came in after his
morning walks... he was tired, and in need of a cuppa.

With
it being such a bonnie day I made a flask of coffee and biked up to Chapel
green to have a ‘play’ down on the rocks;
it’s interesting seeing how things looks from different viewpoints. Although it wasn’t that windy when I
arrived at Chapel Green, there was a brisk wind by the time I sat down to have coffee. Luckily I’d made a flask of Jimmy’s lemon
tea, just in case he came home from Anstruther early, ‘cos he arrived just as I
made my way up from the rocks.
The
villages seem to be busy this weekend; with
a lot of cars appearing from mid afternoon onwards. The villages are popular destinations; with holiday makers taking a holiday home for
a week or two, more or less at any time of the year. This means there is a plentiful, and steady,
supply of people to talk to!
Tomorrow
is forecast to be the best day of the weekend as far as the weather goes;
Sunday is going to be wet and windy.

Tugs,
AH Varazze and Atlantic Kestrel, with Transocean Prospect in tow, are getting
close to the Strait of Gibraltar... they should be through it by midday
tomorrow. At the moment they are
poodling along at 2.9 knots... just over three mph... walking pace. The Strait is, understandably, very
congested.
