Feeling animated
31st
March 2018 (Saturday) 09.30 .... I’m feeling fairly animated this
morning; alas, the weather is not
suitable for playing outside: being ‘dull
with rain’,
now and again’. The wind
has backed to the Northeast, and it is cold, .... but, easier to breathe. I’ll have a bumble down to the beach after
breakfast; choosing my time with care....
to miss the showers. You never know we might get a sunny spell
later; having said that, I don’t
think the bike will be coming out today at all. Orf to have breakfast, having overslept
.... again. This is perfect ‘sleeping
in’ weather.

| It looks cold .... and it was! |
11.30 I’ve yet to get to the beach, but I have
been working on the computer. As
expected, the villages are busy with holiday makers: I know this because I see ‘strangers’
walking on Ferry Road, .... strangers wearing waterproofs etc. This is not holiday weather. I’m going to see if it’s dry enough to go
to the beach; we’re having
a brighter
spell (paler shade of grey) just now.

17.30 I
did get out for a walk; in fact I did
the ‘roond the Chapel, and home by the beach’ walk, which works out at just
under 2 kilometres, so I’m a happy bunny;
and a slightly cauld one. It
did threaten to rain at one point but it never came too much. There
were a lot of ‘strangers’ out walking; taking
advantage of the quieter spell of weather.
Anne was the only other local that I met.
It
was high tide by the time I got to the beach part of the walk, so I
walked along the bents. It’s a 5.8
metre tide today (and tomorrow) and there are some big rollers coming in. With the wind being off the Northeast the
waves aren’t as destructive as they were last week.
19.30 It certainly has not been ‘holiday’ weather so
far this Easter .... in fact the
weather
on Good Friday, and today has been downright miserable: but, I have been able to get going with two ‘projects’
on the computer... and had a walk on both days. It’s definitely an ill wind that doesn’t blow
somebody some good. Is spite of the
weather I am content.

Tomorrow
morning, at 08.15, we have an Easter Service at Elie Harbour: the weather forecast for tomorrow is cold and
mostly dry, with sunny spells .... after an early touch of frost. We’ll be glad to get up to, and into, the
kirk hall for breakfast; which follows immediately
after the harbour service!
