Dull and wet ......
31st
October 2017 (Tuesday)
.... 07.30 As per weather forecast we
have a grey sky with rain... but it is warmer.
This is not a day for walking;
that said
the rain should peter out soon, leaving us with a ‘grey day’
.... and it, the weather, might even brighten up in the afternoon.

The
weather remained dull up until about 14.00, when the sky broke up and we have a
few short spells of sunshine. At the
end of the afternoon I went down to the beach, to find it busier than I’d
expected at this time of year. I think
Elie and Earlsferry are
eye-catching places whatever the weather; it’s great that others are coming to enjoy
the virtues that our wee villages have in abundance.

Jim
and Jimmy came along for our weekly discussion of, mostly things local... and
old. Brexit and POTUS were never
mentioned this evening; but we did talk
about Madeira, where Jim is going for a short break in January. Apparently the mountain roads can be ... er
.... exciting. I felt quite dizzy at
the thought of travelling up on a bus .... which is what Jim and Myra have
done.... I still feel dizzy!
We
have the Colinsburgh ‘Lite Lunch’ tomorrow ... in the Colinsburgh Town Hall.....
at 12.30. I shall go and feed the ‘girls’
their midday (ish), and main ‘meal’, then go
straight to Colinsburgh afterwards. I try to be up there at 08.00 ish for their
‘breakfast’. This morning I met the farmer,
Ian who was feeding the cattle; I forgot
to ask him what the huge wooden shed along at Gordonshall had been used for.

I’m
well ready for bed tonight.... I seem to have been doing things all day; but nothing very strenuous.
