Beautiful early morning sky ....
16th
November 2017 (Thursday
- Drop in Cafe) .... 08.15 It was invigorating, and bonnie, on the beach this morning; oh...
there wasn’t a ‘sunrise’,
well there was, but it happened behind clouds: it was the sky that attracted me; it, the sky, was busy, with clouds, of different
shapes, scuttling over on the brisk WNW wind. There has been some rain overnight, but it looks
like that has scampered off, over the North Sea; but .... we might catch the edge of a shower.
dry
by mid afternoon: an hour later it was
ironed. I have been a busy boy.

Between
hanging the washing out and doing the ironing I went up to Kinneuchar Station
for a potter around; I haven’t done
that for a while. Someone is clearing
the trees that have fallen across the Cocklemill Burn so I was cable to explore
into new territory; territory that was
not viable before because of nettles and
brambles.
Today
I received my annual Insurance bill for the Central Heating ... £250. Maggie always regarded this insurance as a ‘racket’....
but necessary. The real annoying thing
is that you pay all this money for years and, should you need a new boiler ....
you have to buy one. Maggie was right
... it is a racket! Moan over.
The
‘Drop in Cafe’ was quiet this afternoon;
but it was good to be there.
Jimmy’s
place at the table didn’t have a chair at it; this was good. Better than the empty chair. Although quieter than usual the ‘Cafe’ was
happy in a respectful way.

Jimmy’s
funeral is on Monday (20th November) at 13.00, at Kilconquhar Church; the full announcement is in today’s Dundee
Courier. At the end of the Service,
those that wish can make a donation to the RNLI .... a charity dear to Jimmy’s
heart.
The
weather forecast for ‘us’ is much the same as it was today .... windy bright
and cold.
