.... 08.00 I can hardly believe it; this morning’s weather is actually worse than
yesterday’s was. The weather must be

‘cast’
this morning ....isn’t high enough to be ‘overcast’ .... it’s sitting on
us; a bank of light rain/Scotch mist. Yep ... it’s Dreich, and with a capital ‘D’. Not a morning for walking; bring on tomorrow (Thursday) when we should
get some sunshine. I’m going to Leven,
to do some shopping.
12.00 My trip to Leven was successful, so .... I’m a happy bunny. The journey to Leven was uneventful, but
with the rain/sleet, there is a lot of
water on the roads. The temporary
traffic lights at Scoonie are back in operation.... and a nuisance; but they don’t hold you up for long, with
them being ‘two way’ now. The only
problem I had on the trip was when I got back to Ivy, to find myself a ‘DR’
(Displaced Resident) thanks to a Chelsea tractor, and had to carry my messages
up from the Wynd, in the rain. I
didn’t enjoy that. I
must point out that it was a bonnie ‘CT’... but that didn’t stop me getting
slightly damp. However this might
explain why I don’t particularly like the Easter holiday! Roll on the 1st of June when I’ll be able to
unload messages at my own gate. I won’t get sunburnt by having to carry my
messages any distance, in blistering hot sunshine. Sunshine? Sunburnt?

16.30 There won’t be a visit to the beach this
afternoon; not unless something dramatic happens with the
weather in the next couple of hours:
right now it’s snowing. Actually,
I fell asleep in front of the tele, and, woke up remembering that I had to have a quick run
up to Elie (in the car). It was then I
discovered it was snowing. The snow
isn’t lying here, but Alex was telling
me that it was proper snow up at St Andrews ... where she had been working, as
a caddy, on the golf course. And I was
bothered about getting damp carrying my messages 50 metres up the road! Anyway the car is moored up, Ivy hatches well
battened down, and I am ready for a cuppa.
19.00 There’s a washing going through the
machine as I type.... so that it can be hung out first thing in the
morning. Tomorrow looks like being a
good ‘drying day’, if the weather
forecast is right; a westerly breeze
with sunny spells. Sunny spells?....
I’d best get the sun-cream out. And
the bike!
The
weather today has been dreadful; no
wonder it is the main topic in any

conversation. We are all looking forward to long spells
of sunny weather; it’s certainly what we
need.
The
‘Drop in Cafe’ has a change of venue tomorrow afternoon; instead of the ‘Scout Hut’, the usual place, it’s
going to be in the Kirk Hall, ... at 14.15. I don’t know what the reason for this change
is; it may be that, with this being the
Easter holiday, we expect more visitors.
21.00 The sky is beginning to clear from the
Northwest.... it’s still raining here, but not as heavily as it was an hour
ago. The sky should be clear by
morning, and we might even have a touch of frost. I am looking
forward to tomorrow’s weather!
