.... 07.30 ‘Windy, wet and cold’ was
the forecast .... and .... ‘windy, wet and cold, we have. It is a miserable morning, and this

is forecast to last the whole day: however
.... don’t be too hasty throwing the sun cream out .... we could have a few
‘sunny spells’ tomorrow.
11.30 There has been much work done at the top
Scoonie Brae over the past couple of years... and it still goes on .... the gas
main is being replaced now; with a three
way set of traffic lights controlling the traffic. I hope it’s done and dusted by the Easter
weekend! Oh
.... I went to Leven this morning, mostly to get ‘out and about', but I bought a
load of bird food in the ‘Cheap Shop’, and posted a letter. I was lucky with the Scoonie Brae traffic
lights, passing through non- stop on the way in, and only having to wait a couple
of minutes on the

way out. It’s not a
pleasant day for being out .... but it’s coming up to high tide (12.09) just
now so I’m going to the beach.
12.30 I didn't go to the beach; far too windy, and no shelter from the wind when it's from this direction. Instead I went up to Chapel Green (in the car) and took some photographs from the lee of the Chapel ruin. It's not a big tide, but there are some big rollers coming in. I think that I stay in Ivy for the remainder of 'today'.... it's not a day for outside stuff.
19.30 This has been a fairly productive day
after all; I made myself some ‘ready
meals for freezing. It has been the
perfect day for working in the kitchen.... and watching Time Team on the ‘tele’. I’m
glad that I did go to Leven, and up to the Chapel earlier.... that gave me a
wee bit exercise. Since I bought the

cycling glasses the weather has been such that I have hardly been
able to use them.
Our
weather for tomorrow is supposed to be slightly better; very windy (East), but dry... with, perhaps,
a few sunny/brighter spells. It looks like I might jump in the car and go
somewhere different,.... somewhere with trees, to provide a degree of shelter from the wind. Once again I’ll be in bed early with a book; unless I can find something to watch on the
tele.
