Gloomy weather ....
19th
February 2018 (Monday)
.... 09.00 Oh dear ..... I’m glad we
have the Olympics to watch on the tele:
it’s gloomy and damp outside .... not a morning for
the beach. Although dreich, it is warm, and, the rain, which we had earlier, has moved away; hopefully the sky will clear later. There’s a lack of inspiration on a morning
like this..... I’ll have one of my manky coffee’s; everything looks brighter after a Hutte
coffee. Funnily enough I'm feeling frisky.... in spite of the gloomy weather.
20.00 You’d hardly believe it: it has been overcast all day, but the sun managed to break the clouds through at 17.15, about 10 minutes before sunset..... it’s going to be a ‘bright and sunny’ day tomorrow.

I’ve
had an enjoyable day; I even went out
twice .... in the car. In the morning I
went down to Elie harbour; in the
afternoon I went to St Monans harbour..... I like harbours, even though they
are cauld places most of the time. There
were reflections on the still water, so I was a happy boy, but it was really cold
by the time I was leaving
St Monans.

Most
of the remainder of ‘the day’ was spent watching the Olympics (mostly the
curling and bobsleigh events) .... and playing with the photographs that I got at
the two harbours.
The
coast road to Pittenweem and Anstruther (A917)is closed , until the 9th March, between
St Monans and Pittenweem, to allow road-works to take place. The detour is well marked; you can still get to Pittenweem and
Anstruther, via the ‘Colinsburgh Strait’ road.
The
weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘sunny all day’ .... it could be a good drying
day. I haven’t made my mind up about
any activities for tomorrow .... except;
I will
finish nailing the felt on the wee shed at some point. I might go along to Leslie Bike Shop (it’s
in Glenrothes) to get bike glasses; if I
do (go to the Bike Shop) I’ll also go to
Dysart harbour, for a cuppa at the Harbour Master’s House. Jings .... I have a plan for tomorrow! I really need to get out on the bike again; there’s stuff been happening on Elie Estate
that I’ve missed!..,. and I need the bike to cover the Estate.
