... 08.00 It was bright and breezy
 |
| Elie... this morning. |
when I first looked out an hour and a half ago;
now it’s breezy but not as bright,
because a layer of cloud has drifted over from the Northwest. It’s cold, and I’m feeling ‘one degree
under’ this morning, so haven’t ventured further than the front gate. That
reminds me.... ‘flu jabs on 1st October. Orf to have breakfast.
20.00 I’ve been ... welll... further than the
front gate; I went for the paper, and
morning coffee, then along to the re-cycling Depot at Pittenweem, where I
dumped the old printer. It was a nice
morning, and warm in the car, but breezy and cool out.
The
new printer is easy to operate, as I discovered when and I scanned and printed
off a few documents. It’s really simple; load the scanner then ‘click’ the necessary

This
a holiday weekend so the villages are busy.
Unfortunately I haven’t been feeling well enough to go to the beach to
find anyone to speak too; in fact most
of the afternoon I spent sound asleep in front of the tele. When
woke up I watched a film of a bloke biking the ‘bealach Na ba’ road (the cattle
road) to Applecross.... in the same kind of weather that Maggie and I got when
we drove that road..... misty with ‘nae view’ from the top. I have the video that Maggie took. It was braw when we arrived at Applecross,
where we had lunch in a ‘poly tunnel’ Cafe.
Aye those were the days.
We’ve
had a lovely clear evening so we could wake up to a cold morning... below
freezing temperatures are forecast for the Highland glens. It will be around 4c here. My ‘plan’ is to get up early, assuming that
I’m feeling perkier. I’m going to take
it easy again tomorrow as I have a busy week ahead. Monday; Leven, Tuesday; St Andrews,
Wednesday; Dumfries House coach trip,
and Thursday; get a cortisone injection

my knee. It’s all ‘go’ next week,
which is why I intend resting all day tomorrow.
