Oliver (Mennie) .....
23
rd September 2017 (Saturday)
.... 08.00 We’ll begin today’s ‘Hutte News’ with a
piece of exciting local ‘news’ .... ‘Oliver’ ... no, I won’t spoil this news ... click on ‘Oliver’
(Mennie) and see it all for yourself!
Isn’t
that brilliant! .... and the new Captain of the Royal and Ancient, Bruce Mitchell, wisnae bad either!
It
is only a week ago that Oliver graduated, with a BA(Hons), from the Highland
and Islands University at Dornoch.
Well done Oliver .... heaps of congratulations!
We
have a gorgeous morning ... and it began with a bonnie sunrise! I was
on the beach half an hour before the ‘event’;
it was beautiful down there. Apart
from me,
and the birds... the beach was
empty: I expected at least one jogger,
or dog walker, but neither put in an appearance this morning; they put life into a beach photo. Even at that time of the morning it wasn’t
cold... so we could be in for a warm day.
I’d say we might have a perfect day for an Earlsferry wedding!

20.30 Chapel Green was busy this morning; on what was a really nice ‘Indian Summer’
type of morning. I decided that I
needed to spend some more time out in the sun so wandered up to the Boss’s
Seat, and did what I do best .... nothing .... other than take a few
photos. All the
seats on Chapel Green were
occupied with holiday makers relaxing,
and taking in the view, it was that kind of morning. When I got back to Ivy the temperature in the
garden was 20c (68f) .... 34c (90f) in the Hutte: I had a quick attack of the mauchless at the
thought of that!

Jimmy
appeared in the afternoon; he was at a ‘loose
end’ so fancied taking his car through the car wash. We did that... then, ‘went over the road’ to Sainsbury’s and had a cuppa in the cafe,
where we met Tom (Hunter), and spent a pleasant half hour nattering.
No
wonder the villages were busy today;
there was some kind of ‘Gin Tasting Festival’ on the Toll Green.... so
we ‘moored up’ at the Toll Green .... we were on our
way down to Elie harbour. Everyone
was having a good time, with much gin tasting, and eating of food on a stick
... kebabs I think; and the air had the
healthy aroma of burnt burgers. Yes I’d
say that this festival was a success.

The
sky clouded over in the afternoon, and the sunset was well obscured by
cloud. I may get up at 06.00 for the
sunrise tomorrow morning... if the sky looks promising.
