MOT ....
16th
May 2018 (Wednesday)
.... 08.00 We have, near enough, a ‘wall
to
wall’ blue sky this morning; in
other words another bonnie morning, but it is slightly cooler. I’ve emptied the car boot, been up for the
papers, .... and now I’m ready to ‘frolic and play’. Only I can’t, frolic and play, because I
have to take the car for its MOT. This
is perfect weather for Stewart, and Lorraine bumbling off on holiday.... to
somewhere on the Wet .. oops ... West Coast That reminds me, it is only seven weeks
until Myra, Jim and I go to Cornwall.

I’m going to have a quick walk to the beach
then have another cuppa before going to Leven.
21.30 I was pleasantly surprised this
morning; the car only required new front
brake pads to pass its MOT. I always
get uptight at MOT time. But that’s
not best thing that happened today. I wasn’t sure how my knee would cope with
walking to Sainsbury’s, but I did that ‘nae bother’, only slightly slower ...
and back again.... a
total distance of 3.5 kilometres (2.17 miles). I enjoyed a cuppa in Sainsbury’s then bumbled
my way back up to Banbeath. I t was a
bonnie day for walking. Back at Fife
Auto, the mechanic told me that the car needed front brake pads, and that they
could do them “now”. So I watched
Bargain Hunt on the waiting room tele while the job was being done. I
then went back to Sainsbury’s (in the car) and did a wee shopping.

The
traffic lights are still active at the entrance to the new golf course, though
I saw that the road markings at the entrance have been done; and a big length of hedge removed, so the
work at the actual entrance must be nearly finished; unless they are going to build a wall where
the hedge was. I assume the hedge was
removed to create better visibility.
There is another set of traffic lights to contend with on the road to
Leven: at the West
end of Lundin
Links. The west set of lights isn’t working
properly: they go from red to orange,
then back to red again .... nae green: only leaving enough time for four or five cars
to get through from the Leven end ... and that on the orange light. I
know this because I was at the front and saw them change from orange to red as
I passed the lights.

Tomorrow
is going to be another bonnie day; much
the same as today, but cloudier in the afternoon.
