..... 08.00 There’s a brisk Southeast
wind this morning, but, although around F3-4, it doesn’t feel as cold as it did

yesterday; probably because there isn’t
a frost this morning. I didn’t linger
on the beach; I am keen to get the
front door finished before the wind changes direction! It’s a nice morning, albeit breezy. Must go .... medium flap on: working ‘stuff’ to get done this bonnie
morning.
10.45 Who's been a busy boy then? The door lock working perfectly, with
everything tidied up.... and the floors washed. I thought I might as well do the floors as
it is a good drying day, and the weather, for the next few days, is not forecast
to be of the floor washing kind. As soon as the floors are dry, I’ll batten the
hatches.... and have a celebratory cup of Hutte Finest; and a chocolate biscuit. I might even go for a run in the car in the afternoon: I'm thinking Balcarres Estate.

20.00 My word .... it was a good move doing the door lock first thing .... the temperature
dropped markedly after lunch. I went
for a run in the car in the afternoon, thinking of going to Cellardyke harbour
at first, but, because of the cold wind, changed direction and went up to the
Deil’s Lodge for a walk down Balcarres Den.
Even there it was raw cold so I cut short my planned walk (I’d intended
doing the ‘circle’ via the pond)..... came back to Ivy, had a hot cuppa.... and
a chocolate biscuit.
Earlier,
in the morning after I’d finished the front door lock etc, I sat down with a
cuppa to watch the Winter Olympics closing ceremony: but fell asleep just after the speeches began. I don’t suppose I missed much. With the deteriorating weather forecast, (for
most of next week), I’m wondering what I’ll have to watch on the tele,

now that
the Olympics has finished.
Tomorrow I must remember to make an appointment
to have a blood test; I have an
appointment at St Andrews on the 13th March, that requires me to have the blood test. Other than that I don’t have a ‘plan’. The weather is supposed to be cold but dry
tomorrow, with an increasing chance of snow showers from evening time onwards. I might get the bike out .... if it isn’t
too windy, and cold.
