.... 10.30 The auld place is contented
this morning..... nice quiet weather, with a goodly number of folks out
enjoying the

beach at sunrise; a very
happy, and relaxing scene. The weather
is forecast to be quiet all day.... a good day for bumbling around Elie and
Earlsferry. I had a good night’s
sleep... right through until waking up when Wallace and Gromit went off at
05.30.... however, I didn’t get up until 07.30; and, I’ve been behind schedule ever since. Although feeling sluggish, I was down on the
beach before sunrise and it was well worth the effort. That said, I need another cuppa to get
myself into gear. I’m going to skip
the kirk .... it’s too late for me to get organised now anyway;
and my vocal chords are tender.
Orf, to have that cuppa.

20.30 I suppose it could be said that I’ve had a
lazy day. I went up to the kirk and
handed in the book I bought for the Salvation Army collection, and my plate
collection money for the kirk, but didn’t stay for the Service; instead I came home, sat down in front of the
tele and fell asleep .... only for 20 minutes or so, but I woke up feeling less
sluggish. Since then I’ve been working
on the computer, on and off, and doing some bits o’ housework.
I
went down to the beach at sunset and got swallowed up in the most amazing red
sky; so we’re going to have a bonnie
day tomorrow.... if the “red sky at night, shepherd’s delight” runs true to
form. There were a good number of folk walking the
beach, enjoying the spectacle. I had
planned to get the moon rising (it’s a full moon) over the Toft at 16.15, but
low cloud prevented that being visible.
The moon is only now high enough to be visible .... intermittently.

Having
checked various weather forecasts I can safely say that the ‘red sky’ appears
to be right; we are going to have a
bonnie day tomorrow. I don’t have a
plan .... I feel good just now, and expect to be feeling even better in the
morning. Right now I’m going out to
see if the moon is visible; I have the
camera set to take full moon (this one is a super moon, being closer to us than
it usually is) photographs. Must go
... ‘slight flap on’ .... got a moon to look for.
The
moon is visible through the cloud layer, but not clear enough to photograph. I’ll have a cuppa instead.
