Frosty, with wall to wall sunshine .....

“Save
a tree – eat a beaver!”
09.00 We have a ‘bright and sunny’, frosty
morning, with a light Westerly breeze; a
beautiful morning but cold ...... a
lovely morning for going out.... as long as you’re well ‘wrapped up’. I’ve only been as far as the front garden
.... feeding ‘Blob’. I’ll go for the
papers in a wee while.

| St Monans Auld Kirk |
19.30 This has been a funny old day for me. When I went for the papers (in the car) I
decided to go along to have a daunder round St Monans Kirk.... something I
haven’t done for a couple of years. I
decided to start by having a look round the cemetery. That was not a good idea;
because I knew far too many of the names
on the more recent headstones... including four that I went to school with (two
of those were in my class at the Waid).... and a good few that I played golf
with.
I decided to bumble my way out
of the newer part of the cemetery, and take some photos of the kirk. As I
was doing this, an old dog came over to me with a piece of seaweed. I accepted the seaweed gift, and spoke to
her, (she was a Retriever). Speaking
to the old dog got me out of the doldrums; the doldrums that the cemetery had
got me into!

The
time at St Monans was the best part of the ‘day’ for weather. Since then the sky has clouded over, and it
looks like it could be snowing towards Stirling. We are
forecast to get snow/sleet etc tonight, which explains the ‘something’ that the
sky is heavy with towards the west. It’
is cold tonight; I have
the heating set
at 22.

I
don’t have a ‘plan’ for tomorrow. The
next good ‘drying day’ looks like being Friday; if so, that is when I’ll do a woollen wash. I’ll need to find something to do tomorrow
morning: that said, the weather forecast for tomorrow
is not inspiring. It could well be a
computer morning: we have the ‘Drop in
Cafe’ in the afternoon.
Having
finished, “The Robin – a Biography”, I need to find a new book to read in
bed. ‘The Robin’ is one of the best
books I’ve read in a long time. ‘Blob’
could well have written it!
