Michael's birthday .....
27th
March 2018 (Tuesday)
“Happy
Birthday”
to Michael who will be ... no you cannae be that old .... I’d only be 5 (?) when
you were born. Have a great
day....old is fun!
08.30 .... as forecast the East wind has brought rain
in from the North sea overnight,
and it’s still raining .... but, the wind is
going to veer to the West later in the afternoon so the rain should peter out. I’ll
take the car up to Elie and pick up the paper, then it will be a computer
morning. I’m wondering.... I need a
haircut.... this might be a good day to have that done. I’ll consider that over breakfast. Everyone will be glad to know that ‘Hercules' (hormone) has calmed down!
11.00 It is definitely raining.... I set off to
go to the beach, and changed my mind, ‘cos it was heavy ... not good for my
delicate hair! I had been to Elie (in
the car),... in fact I went to Elie harbour.
That’s something I won’t be doing again until after the  |
| Much wetness. |
 |
| Elie Bay... from The Toft. |
17.00 The only subject I can write about today is
the weather; I can ‘see’ it from every
window in Ivy. It has been
demoralizing kind of weather today; especially
so after the few bonnie Spring days we’ve just had. Anyway, the rain eventually fizzled out,
but not before a couple of false fizzles.
You’d think that, in Bonnie Scotland
(Scotland is bonnie, whatever the weather,) we’d be used to changeable weather,
but we do live in the hope of a long spell of, ‘bright and
sunny’. Long spell? Three days in succession would be considered
a long spell. Right now a ‘short sunny
spell’ would be very welcome. Of
course it is early in the season yet. I
remember (this is ‘old’ stuff) we were ‘flittin’, from Bishopton to Crathes, in
June 1943, and had hail, and snow showers.

| Clearing sky .... late afternoon. |
I
didn’t go to Leven for a haircut; it
began to rain just before I set off so that was the end of that ‘plan’. I did some ironing, and ‘ousework instead....
and fell asleep in front of the tele:
the haircut and shopping I’ll do tomorrow morning .... early.
Ye
Gods .... we have had a short ‘sunny spell’;
all of 30 seconds. Mock not....
from small acorns large oak trees grow;
this could be the beginning of summer!
My
only ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to get along to Leven early, on the aforementioned haircut/
shopping mission.
