Worse hair day ....
17th
October 2017 (Tuesday)
.... 09.00 Welll .... we have survived
the remains of Ophelia; she is not my
kind of ‘girl’.... having got serious wind
problems! I don’t think that the wind was quite as
severe as was forecast for us in the east;
the West coast would catch the worst of the frisky girl.

It
was breezy down on the beach but once I got into the lee of the Cockstail rocks
(the tide was out) it was fine. I
caught the sunrise behind the lighthouse, and met Marcia out with the dogs when
I was coming off the beach; so a
successful mission. There are spits
and spots of rain blowing in the wind, which is bothersome, but a nice enough
morning for being out.... though it is breezy.... F6 – 7 from the West.

22.00 I’ve had a fairly active day... mostly working
around Ivy. I did take Jimmy up to St
Andrews for his appointment, and I got three books off the charity shelves in
the entrance hall. We didn’t go for a
cuppa in the hospital Cafe.... choosing instead, to have one when we got back
to Ivy.
The
wind has moderated, down to F4 – 5, but it is not warm; having said that, I had a washing on the
line, which did dry fairly quickly .... in what could be called “a good drying
wind”; there were clouds bumbling over,
and they, at times, looked threatening .... we did in fact get a shower ....
five minutes after I’d taken in the washing;
and five minutes after I arrived on the beach for my evening meander.... the meandering was short, but sweet.
Tuesday
evening is when Jim and Jimmy come to Ivy, and the three of us then sort
out
things, local mostly, .... and usually old; I should take notes.
 |
| Late afternoon ... and ... yes ... it was cold. |
Our
weather for tomorrow is forecast to be ... well the wind is going to be easterly,
and the sky overcast; with the chance of
light rain now and again. It will be
colder.
I
have an appointment at the Vic in Kirkcaldy tomorrow, so that will keep me out
of mischief. I’ll take the car to
Leven then the bus to the Vic .... that takes care of the parking (at hospital)
problem.
