Cold on the hands .....
5th
October 2018 (Friday)
..... 08.30 The beach was enchanting
this morning; very peaceful, with tiny wavelets
flopping on to the sand, time seemed to be standing still. Skeins
of geese flying over added the tranquil scene.... even their honking was
muted. Can geese 'whisp
er'?.... I doubt it. It was cold on the hands, the
temperature was not far above freezing;
in fact there would be a frost further inland. That said it looks like we could be in for
a bonnie bay, though perhaps not overly warm.

.... now that was a good year! The Centre of the Universe has been gorgeous today; a bit on the cool side, but warm out sheltered
from the wind.
John
and I went to Kirkcaldy. Jings... ‘Sooper
Buggy’ is a nippy car when she gets above 35 mph. The single bed has been purchased from a
bed shop (Benson’s) in Kirkcaldy. The
mattress is firm... just what I want.
It is being delivered, and put
together, in a couple of weeks. The ‘plan’
is to demolish the bunk beds and make the room ready before ‘JB’ goes back to
Sussex next week. We had coffee, and a
goodie,
in Gregg’s before going back to Leven to do a wee shopping.

In
the afternoon we went down to the beach, then up to Chapel Green .... both beach,
and Chapel Green were busy. It was a
lovely afternoon for enjoying the sun. ‘JB’
drained the beach, and had a potter around the rocks: I had to content myself with watching as my
knee was suffering from yesterday’s walk at Ferrytoll. It (my knee) does not like me walking on a
hard surface. Hence resting it today.
We
went to Chapel Green in the car; via
Kinneuchar and Balbuthie Loan to see the geese feeding on the stubble fields. They seem to be here in large numbers
slightly earlier this year..... there’s a few big skeins fly over the Royal Burgh morning and evening.
No
real ‘plan’ for tomorrow, but we get the paint mixed for the front of Ivy. I bought
some exterior emulsion at B n Q’s
in Kirkcaldy this morning.

We
have had a busy day today, I for one will sleep well tonight. I plan to have morning coffee in Har4bour
House; whether ‘JB’ will ‘surface’ in
time for MC remains to be seen.
