Feeling hungry ....
22nd
October 2017 (Sunday)
.... 09.00 It’s a beautiful morning...
and it looks like being a nice, mostly bright and sunny day, albeit cool in the
brisk westerly
wind. There were a few dog
walkers out on the beach.... and the
Breakwater Coffee buggy was opening... but I didn’t go along as far as the
breakwater.... I might have yielded to temptation and had a coffee. Now that the sun’s up I’m going to go for a
daunder.

20.00 I did go for a ‘daunder’... in the afternoon,
on Balcarres estate. Jimmy arrived in
the mornin desperate for a cuppa, and a scone;
by the time we’d finished the blathering it was nigh on lunch time. I decided to have a bit of fruit for lunch,
as I was making a beef casserole for dinner.... “Puku” is definitely on a diet!

The
reason I ended up on Balcarres was; the
car needed to be topped up with fuel at the BP Garage (Colinsburgh), and, being
that Balcarres Crag stands out when I’m browsing as I’m filling the petrol
tank.... I bumbled up there. It was
lovely, dare I say it .... romantic even;
being warm in the shelter of the
trees. I even spotted a Red Admiral
butterfly feeding on a Hydrangea flower. I spent about an hour ... falling apart
mostly; and taking a few photographs.
I
was downloading the photos when Jimmy arrived;
he wanted to go to Sainsbury’s for a cuppa.... and to buy a cake. The cake was quickly bought, which left us
plenty time to enjoy our cuppa. Sunday
afternoon is the time to go to Sainsbury’s Cafe .... loads o’ window seats.
While
we were in Leven the casserole was cooking nicely, and had ten minutes to go
when we I got back home. It was very satisfying
at dinner tonight, and I should get
three frozen meals out of the what’s left.

The
weather forecast for tomorrow is not overly exciting .... dry at first, then a
spell of rain, before ending up with late afternoon sunshine. I might bake a few more scones when it’s
raining: I inadvertently bought plain Wholemeal
flour instead of Self Raising, so I’ll have to use baking powder... apparently
Plain Flour with baking powder works best anyway. I’ll find out tomorrow, if that is the
case.
