March 2018 (Wednesday)
.... only another 6 days until the Vernal (Spring Equinox).... the beginning of
Spring, and the moment in time when the sun is immediately above the equator...
which event happens at 16.15 (GMT) on the 20th

March this year. Bring
on Spring! Actually we have a bonnie
enough morning, sadly spoiled by a brisk breeze from the east, and a lot of
cloud; we have had the odd ‘sunny spell’.....
and there’s long sunny spell breaking through at 12.30 .... the ‘Friendship
Lunch’! Must go go go .... ‘flap on’. Why am I flappin’? Jings I’ve forgotten what I was flappin’
aboot. Oh .... I’m going to feed ‘Blob’ .... he
appeared outside the computer room window, wearing his “I’m here”
look.
12.30 I decided to cancel any plan to go biking
today; it’s too cold and windy for
me. I did take the car and go for the
paper, and went down to the harbour.
The visit to the harbour confirmed what I already knew; it is windy, and it is cold! Harbour House is cosy, which is where I
joined Myra, Jim and Geoff for morning coffee.

19.30 Having scoffed two Salmon rolls, and two
pieces of chocolate cake at the Friendship Lunch, I didn’t have to cook a big meal
for dinner tonight. ‘Dinner’ tonight
was a slice of Welsh Rarebit, and an apple.
The
wind has been brisk and very cold all day, so I thought I’d have a walk round
Kinneuchar with the camera this afternoon,.... away from the sea for a change. The sky was overcast but the walk was enjoyable. In
the end I had to abort the walk, not because of the wind, I was sheltered by
houses most of the way round, but because I ran out of space on the camera card. Silly boy. Anyway the card has been cleared, and I’m
ready to ‘go’ tomorrow: having said
that, the weather for tomorrow is not of

the exciting ‘bright and sunny’ kind
.... more of your, ‘windy and cold, with a good chance of rain later’. What I am pleased about today is the fact
that I was able to wander round Kinneuchar in reasonable comfort .....
something I wouldn’t have been able to do a couple of days ago. Obviously my knee is recovering from the
time, when I was ‘walking like a penguin’, in the snow.
The ‘plan’ for ‘ra morra’ is to go to Tesco’s
in Cupar (for a change of scenery) to do a wee shopping, including a couple of
their ‘Finest Range’ fish pies.
