Lovely late 'sunrise' over the Chapel ruin ....
27th
September 2017 (Wednesday)
.... 09.30 After a really long and
restful night’s sleep, I woke up to find that we had a lovely morning, albeit a
bit hazy,
but nice for getting out and about ... even though the wind is from
the Southeast.
I had a good walk ... along the
beach, round Chapel Green and home by the golf course: meeting and chatting to Carol on the beach,
and another lady out walking her dogs up at Chapel Green; so I’m a contented ‘boy’, who is now looking
forward to the Colinsburgh Lite Lunch at 12.30.

20.30 Earlsferry is busy with holiday makers
still .... that and building work... so there’s plenty of folk to speak to. The weather hasn’t been bad at all today,
though it’s going to rain later, and overnight.
We
had the Colinsburgh Lite Lunch today; a choice
of two soups, and two sweets, plus tea/coffee and biscuits... and best of
all... company and chat. All my Colinsburgh
girlfriends were there, so there was much noise! Jimmy and I went down to the harbour after
the ‘lunch’ ... just to see what was ‘going on’: not much as it happens on the ground, but the
sky was busy... with interesting clouds
and light. We then went back to Ivy and
had a cuppa, before going along to Leven so that Jimmy could ‘top up his larder’,
with porridge, and other foodstuffs he was running out of. Jimmy likes to have a decent stockpile of
grub .... I think he is worried about a bad winter.

AH
Varazze, Atlantic Kestrel and Transocean Prospect should reach the Strait of
Gibraltar in a couple of days; I
imagine I will lose them soon after they get into the Mediterranean, but I
might get lucky when they are at the toe of Italy. This is a good way for me to improve my
Geography. I now know where their final destination, the
ship breakers yard at Aliaga, in Turkey, actually is ‘on the map’.... and how
big the
yard is! Our redundant aircraft
carriers, Invincible, Illustrious and Ark Royal were dismantled there.

Tomorrow
we have the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon:
I must remember to go for the papers tomorrow, having completely forgotten
about them today. The weather forecast
is ‘nae bad’ for tomorrow, ... after some overnight/early morning rain.
