Absolute cracker of a morning ....
19th
November 2017 (Sunday)
... 09.30 My word .... I was tired
last night, and slept like a log..... and slept ‘in’; but managed to get up for sunrise time
on the
beach. In fact I was on the beach 40 minutes
before sunrise time, watching the sky gradually change... that’s the ‘magic’
time; the half hour before the sun
rises. In point of fact it’s not the
sun that rises, it’s the Earth that spins round, making the sun appear to ‘rise’. This morning’s ‘sunrise’ was, like yesterday’s,
5 minutes late .... the actual event having taken place behind clouds; however the sun appearing above the clouds
was bonnie, albeit late.... and a lassie walking her dog came along the beach
at the perfect time to bring life into the ‘shot’ .... braw.

20.30 Iain and I have had a quiet day; Iain set up his camera to take photos of the
birds in the morning, and I ordered more blank cards, and other stuff, on the
computer ... then printed off some more Christmas cards.
In the afternoon we took Iain’s car through
car wash at Leven, after which we went to Sainsbury’s’ to do a mini shop. By the time we got back to the Ferry, although
the sky had clouded over, the wind had dropped; it looked, and was agreeable, so I went for a
walk in the gloamin’, while Iain sorted out his bird photos.
Iain
and I are organised for Jimmy’s funeral .... everything seems to have moved so
swiftly since Jimmy died, and tomorrow
we will see Jimmy into his last resting place, .... I’ll always have happy memories of bumbling
along to Leven, on a spur of the moment decision, to visit the ‘Cheap Shop’ then
‘over the road’ to Sainsbury’s for a cuppa.

The
weather forecast for tomorrow isn’t very good .... rain, but very little wind, however
it could be dry in the middle part of the day.... for the interment.
If
it’s raining in the morning I’m thinking I won’t get out for a walk .... it’s a
good job I went after we got back from Leven.
