Feeling cool ... and so is the temperature
10th
May 2018 (Thursday)
....08.00 it’s a lovely morning but
there is a
noticeable drop in temperature; exacerbated by a brisk North-westerly
wind. The beach was quiet when I was
down there for a pre breakfast walk; but
I did see Carol out for her morning exercise, and a dog walker along at the
Elie end of the beach. It’s a good
drying day.... and I don’t have a washing out!

21.30 Although we’ve had to go back to wearing
thicker jackets because of the cold wind, it has been a lovely day for doing
things outside. I went to Halford’s (Kirkcaldy)
first thing this morning, bought an inner tube for the bike,.... and, had a good look at the battery assisted
bikes. Kirkcaldy Sainsbury’s is just ‘across the
road’ from Halford’s so I decided to do a wee shopping.
The
Kirkcaldy Sainsbury’s is bigger than the Leven Sainsbury’s and it took a while to find the aisles that I wanted.
Anyway I eventually got all that I required, and was going to have a cuppa
in the Cafe; then I thought, “why not go
to the Harbourmaster’s House at Dysart Harbour”: and that is what I did. No ... not quite;
I went to Dysart Harbour right enough, and had
a wander around the harbour, but I didn’t have a cuppa.
The Harbour Master’s House on a Thursday morning is not the place to go
for a cuppa: it must be the day when
all the local ladies meet. It was
loaded with girls. Normally I’m not
averse to sitting in a room full of girls,
discussing (I imagine) ‘housewifely things’:
but this morning, of all mornings,
I was feeling ‘shy’: took one look and
ran. Well I would have ‘ran’ but couldn’t so I ‘bumbled
fast’, back to the car and home to Ivy, where I had a mug of my foulest coffee.

The entrance to the new golf course at Dumbarnie Links is already taking shape: I did wonder where it was going to join the main road; now I know.
Thursday
is Drop in Cafe day so I enjoyed an hour of cheerful banter, with cake and
coffee, in the afternoon; before going
home to Ivy, to put the new inner tune on Maggie’s bike. The rear gears, and brakes, will need to be
reset, before I take it out on the road.

The
weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘nae bad’:
sunny spells with a southeast breeze.
It could be a good gardening day.
