.... 09.30. The harbour (Elie)is
looking bonnier,

and busier, now that the the boats are back in the water; though there wasn’t much happening when I was
down there. Not with the boats anyway....the
tide was out. A fair number of
people walking the beach, and one person actually went for a swim; the air temperature around me dropped by
about 10c just watching her.... and I was up on The Terrace! Oh
.... we have a bonnie ‘bright and sunny’, morning, but there is an Easterly wind,
and it is hazy: a nice morning, but
cool. The garden is sheltered from this
East wind, I might just spend a bit of time working. I’m feeling energetic.

19.30. All the energy I had in the morning has
been burned off; working.... in the garden. I lopped a tree thing, and that job
involved ladder work, so my knees and hips have had some exercise this
afternoon..... and not the kind of exercise that they are accustomed to. I suspect that they will be stiff tomorrow
morning. I wonder .... should I have a
bath tonight? Yes I will; in fact I’ll go and have a bath now, as I
have no intention of going out again this evening. I’ll finish updating The Hutte later.
20.30. I’m back;
having emerged from the bath, looking like a ‘peelie wallie’ prune, about twenty minutes ago. I did enjoy a long soak in Radox Muscle
stuff. My hips and knees feel
good; hopefully they will be ready for
more ladder work tomorrow.
Everyone
has gone. I went out, to go the beach
earlier, and found my car the only one on the street..... this means that I’m lonely again. I had
to turn the car, so that it

was parked facing the right way: that was done by way of a run up to
Kinneuchar and home via Balbuthie Loan.
I never got to the beach. There
is a cold wind blowing, with a feel of fog in it .... which I had been
sheltered from working in the garden.... so I gave the beach a miss.
I
don’t have a ‘plan’ for tomorrow, but I might go to Leven to do a wee shopping
some time: it all depends on how enthusiastic
I feel about gardening, in the afternoon.
Tomorrow’s weather is forecast to be, more or less, a repeats of today’s,
though the wind might veer towards the West.
My morning will be taken up with circumnavigating the villages on the
bike etc.
