Exquisite sunrise time .....
18th
February 2018 (Sunday)
.... 08.30 We had an exquisite (‘exquisite’ is a bonnie
word - must remember to use it more
often), and peaceful,
sunrise this morning;
the tide was half way out, there was hardly any wind, so there were reflections
on both sand and sea.... I’m a happy boy.
There was a touch of frost in the air, but that is beginning to
lift. It looks like the early morning
dog walkers (and me) had the best of the day .... the sky is beginning to cloud
over: might get rain later in the
afternoon.

I’m
going to Kirkcaldy to have a look at battery assisted bikes; I need battery assistance to get me up to Kilbrackmont. This could be an age thing! I’ll browse Halfords choice of bikes, pick
up some ‘blurb’ leaflets, then buy a bike when Spring arrives. Must ‘go’,
ever so slight ‘flap on’.

19.30 The roads were quiet on my trip to
Kirkcaldy; then again I left early
thinking that Halfords would be open at 09.00. They didn’t open until 10.00 ..... so I had
a cuppa in Sainsbury’s Cafe.
Sainsbury’s (Kirkcaldy) was one of the first shops in the Chapel Level
shopping complex. Sainsbury’s was
surprisingly busy .... at least the Cafe was. This is the first time I’ve been in
Sainsbury’s Kirkcaldy since I ‘lost’ Maggie:
the Cafe has moved since we used it .... and I’d say that the new Cafe
is better.
As
you’d expect Halfords has a good choice of bike, both normal, and battery
assisted. Having said that, the only
battery assisted bike I liked for style was a Pendelton; a female gender bike. Not that I’m bothered about that; I use Maggie’s bike a lot of the time
anyway. The men’s bike were mostly
‘off road’ style.... I didn’t
see one that looked like a ‘normal’ road bike....
whereas the Pendelton was a road bike.
I’ll have a browse online.

The
roads were busier on the way home;
well,... busier with traffic travelling West. I guess this would be holiday makers going
back home to their various destinations.
By the time I got back to Earlsferry (11.10) the sky was overcast.... but not much
wind. I had a cuppa, then went down
to the beach ; with the tide being out,
and the sea calm, I took a few photos.
It started to rain about 13.45 .... and it is still raining.
Our
weather forecast, for tomorrow, is not good .... rain for most of the daylight
hours. Of course that might not apply
to ‘The Royal Burgh’.
