Cool wind... but a nice morning
22nd
October 2018 (Monday)
.... 09.00 There’s a brisk north westerly
breeze this morning, and it is taking a few degrees off the temperature ....so
it’s cool on the beach .... but there is a great quantity of fresh air to share
around. It’s a nice morning, albeit
cool in the frisky wind.... and it looks like we could have a good drying
day. I’ll add washing to the ‘plan’
for today. Right now it’s breakfast
time; I had to go up to the paper shop for
milk so that I could have my ‘Weetabix’.
Must go ... slight “flap on”.... I’m hungry.

| Lovely morning .... but cool when exposed to the wind. |
20.00 We have a windy evening at the Centre of the
Universe, so the Ivy Cottage hatches were battened down at 18.30, the heating
turned up.... and the kettle ‘on’:
actually... I’ll stop here and make myself a cuppa.
I
feel sorry for Theresa May, our Prime Minister (I’ve been watching the tele
while having a cuppa .... and a scone). She, Theresa May, is trying to come up with
some kind of Brexit ‘deal’ but is being hammered from all sides.... including
members of her own ‘Party’. She
appears to be in a ‘lose lose’ situation.:
and.... being held to ransom by
the DUP must be humiliating, and does nothing to help the situation. It is going to be interesting to see how it
all ends.

| Crail harbour. |
We
do have a wild night! I went out to
check the car when the tea was infusing, and there are leaves blowing all over
the place. At least it is dry.
Fancying
a change of scene, I went to Crail harbour in the afternoon. The whole of the East Neuk is picturesque,
but Crail harbour has that something that makes it different: which is why you see it on calendars. I came home via the ‘back road’, and
enjoyed my afternoon mystery jaunt.
Tomorrow morning I’m jaunting to Leven, to get my haircut; and do a wee shopping when I’m there.
Remember
the cheese scones I ‘made’ last week? I
bunged the last of them out to the
birds.
Two Jackdaws came down, gave them a perfunctory peck, and decided to
give them, the scones a miss. I’ve put
them (the scones – not the Jackdaws) in the broon bucket; the contents of which is composted. That’s what they think! I think my cheese scones will test the
compost manufacturing system to the limit.
Orf to make another cuppa.
