Awesome sunrise .....
15th
October 2017 (Sunday)
.... 09.00 Oh my word .... we had an
absolutely gorgeous sunrise this morning .... no ... it was in the half hour before
sunrise
that the sky looked spectacular; I just got swallowed up in it, and this is when
I feel nearest to God. I go to the
kirk (occasionally) and enjoy the company, and everyone singing, but down on
the beach, especially when we have the sun lighting up the sky, as it did this
morning ..... that is awesome. I can
well understand why pagans(?) worshipped the sun.

We
have a lovely, bright and breezy’ morning now ... but not cold; that said the red sky is a sign of ‘naughty’
weather ahead! The beach was quiet with only myself, and a lady
walking her dog, enjoying the early morning spectacle.... no joggers. The lady is called Monica, her dog ‘Pepper’,
and the family are here for the mid-term holiday: what we’d call the ‘Tauttie Holidays’.... when
we earned 19/6d, for a week at the tauttie howkin’. Those
were the days.
20.00 The ‘Boy’
(that’s me) has been busy... cleaning windows, and anything with glass in it. Having done the windows I’m now amazed at
the number of folk going up and down Ferry Road; either the windows were in a serious state of
needing cleaning ... or ...there are a lot of holidays maker in the village. The Hutte windows are next on the list....
but that will be later in the week; I
have a busy schedule for Monday Tuesday and Wednesday.

Jimmy
and I went to Leven in the morning;
Jimmy was running out of porridge cartons... and he fancied a cuppa in
the Cafe. We could have gone to the
kirk and had coffee/tea there, but, when Jem’s is running out of porridge... ‘flap
on’ mode kicks in. We’ll go up to
Kinneuchar next week.
When
I’d finished playing with the Glass Cleaner, I had a walk down to the beach...
this was about sunset time. It was
great to find the beach busy.... loads of life, albeit
distant, in the
photographs. There was a brisk wind
blowing, and, with the sun going behind the clouds it was cold.

| I thought it was cold until I saw this Retriever... retrieving it's ball! |
I
have an early start tomorrow morning;
Jimmy’s car is going in for a service and I have to pick him up, and
bring him home, after he drops it into the garage at 08.00. Calumn is picking me up at 10.30 and we are
going to visit Sandy and Eleanor (Craw’s Nest) in Cellardyke, for morning
coffee.
Monday’s
weather looks like being messy; windy
with rain and squally showers. Tuesday’s
weather is to be even messier!

about.... being happy.. and this is one happy dog!
