Feeling impish ....
20th
October 2017 (Friday)
.... 09.00 Mmmmmm ....it is overcast,
as was forecast, and there’s a light southwest breeze; but... although grey, it’s a bonnie
morning. We
had a few early dog walkers, and one dog jogger, on the beach at sunrise
time... sunrise was at 07.55 ... but the sun has yet to burn its way through a
thick blanket of cloud. We may get a few
bright spells later.

For some inexplicable reason, I’m feeling impish
this morning; I’ve no doubt that will wear orf. I’ll put the kettle on.
News ... regarding ‘Albert’s Hutte’, Streamline
version. I am closing the Streamline
version of ‘The Hutte’, it is becoming too expensive to keep .... and will
close on the 16th November. Instead
of Streamline ‘The Hutte’ will be on Google (Google provides the web space
free) ...and can be found here Alberto’s
Hutte on Goog. I have been using Google, alongside
Streamline for more than a year now.... and find it easier to use ... and considerably
cheaper! Funnily enough I’ll miss the
familiarity of Streamline, but without doubt ‘Goog’ is the way forward. Streamline user's can click on the link above to see the Google
version.

19.30 Well now what can I say: the sun burnt orf the bank of cloud by
midday, and we ended up with one of the best
days of the year.... it has been gorgeous.
The villages were busy, .... the
harbour, the beach... with everybody out enjoying rare, and warm sunshine.
In
the morning Jimmy and I went along to Leven for a wee bit o’ shopping (Jimmy
had run out of bananas), and a cuppa in Sainsbury’s cafe. My main purchase was wholemeal flour, to
make scones, .... and frozen vegetables, two of the items I forgot to get when
I was in ASDA’s on Wednesday.
With
the afternoon being so bonnie I went down to the harbour in the car... I wanted
to use the Canon camera. I was well
rewarded with some really summery looking photographs. Getting away from the harbour was not
easy; I was more than half way along
when someone decided he was coming through.
I had nowhere to go,
because of cars behind me. In the end the bloke that came through had
to reverse, and I got out by way of Admiralty Lane.

When I got back to Ivy I went down to the
beach, to get a few more summer photos.... and have a seat in the sunshine. The beach was busy .... and the seat
empty; both assignments were fully
accomplished, with much satisfaction.
