Bonnie, quiet morning .....
15th
November 2017 (Wednesday)
.... 08.30 We had a beautiful, calm
sunrise .... everything seemed to be standing still; except a flock of birds that
appeared to be
flying aimlessly; but there would be
some ‘plan’ in the lead birds mind.... probably food, which involved finding a
safe place to land on the beach. Slight
‘flap on’ .... Jim and I are going dog walking at 09.10.
should rapidly clear away, to leave
us with a ‘bright, sunny and cold’, late morning/afternoon.

21.00 ‘Sooper
Dog’ took Jim and me round Ruddons Point for our morning walk; with there being only a breath of wind the
sea was flat calm. ‘Fruitful’, a Pittenweem
boat, was dredging for scallops just off the point; otherwise everything was quiet, and
peaceful; even the birds were lazing on
the rocks. Back at Elie we met Myra,
at Harbour House, for morning coffee, and a chat.... a relaxing way to spend
the morning. I’m coming to
terms with
Jimmy dying.... but grieving has to run its course, and everyone has their own
way of coping; I walk, and get behind
the camera lens.

'The Boy' had much to do in the afternoon: I
made a Dental appointment, bumbled up to the Elie shops, then along to Leven, to
get Blob fodder and a few other vital supplies.... that I forgot to get
yesterday. Today I wrote a list! When
I got back to Ivy I ran completely out of steam, and fell sound asleep in front
of the tele.... woke up with a stiff neck;
had a cuppa to celebrate feeling revitalized again, after I’d rattled the neck aboot a bit, then set about making a lamb
casserole for dinner. I’ll be in bed early
tonight.
According
to the weather forecast we should waken up to a wet morning; but that

Tomorrow
afternoon we have the ‘Drop in Cafe’.... Jimmy looked forward to his weekly visit to the
‘Drop in Cafe’; sadly he won’t be there physically, but I know that he will
be with us in spirit ..... and he'd expect us to blether away happily, as per usual.
