Windy and very cold .....
14th
February 2018 (Wednesday)
..... St
Valentine’s Day; I’ll begin by sending love and hugs
to all my ‘girlfriends’ around the World;
I hope you have a happy and loving St Valentine’s Day. (((((hugs))))) and xxxx’s.
This
mornin g was the coldest I have been on the beach this year; it was freezin’.
There’s strong wind (F5) from the South,
so no shelter from the dunes. I did go
along to the Cockstail rocks and found a nook out of the wind, but the view of
the sky was restricted. I was glad to
get back to Ivy and have breakfast.

| Sunrise time at Elie. |
20.30 It’s been windy and very cold all day, though
the sun did eventually breakthrough, in between showers, in mid afternoon. We’ve had sleet/rain showers.... and one
heavy shower of hail; not a day for
being out.
Thankfully
we had the Friendship Lunch to brighten up our day; with food, chat, tea/coffee and
biscuits. The hall was busier than I
thought it might have been: the
weather
being wet and miserable at midday.
However the sun was beginning to break through by the time the was
finished.

| Elie thsi afternoon. |
As
is my habit after the Friendship Lunch (and the Drop in Cafe) I went down to
the harbour. This was a bad mistake today
as the Toft road at the Ship Inn was choc-a-bloc with cars, and getting down
to, and back from, the harbour can be a lottery if you meet something coming
the other way. I met something, both going to and coming from the harbour. I should have remembered that this is a holiday
week. In the summer time I bike down
to the harbour; even on the bike it can
be hazardous.
Tomorrow
is forecast to be windier, but dry with good spells of sunshine.... and
cold.
Perhaps even feeling colder as
the wind is going to be F6 – 7. I
shall batten the Ivy hatches and watch the Olympics. At least my cough has cleared away with me
staying in and warm. Having said that
.... I did have two trips to the beach today, and it felt cold; even wrapped up as I was.

| Sunset time. |
I
see the ‘BT hub flashing .... presumably caused by a weather problem. I may not be able to update the Hutte if it
doesn’t reset itself. It has reset so I’ll go and try to update
now.
