Bright, breezy and cool ....
27th
November 2018 (Tuesday)
.... 08.30 It’s windy and cold, but at
least it’s not
raining .... yet. There has been a lot
of rain overnight so no dust.... but loads of water all over the place. I warmed up the car by going down to the
harbour; then cooled myself down by
getting out of the car. It is breezy,
and cool down there, but fine in the lee of the granary.... with loads of fresh
air around. It’s a nice morning for
being out as long as you’re well wrapped up.
Elie this morning. |
20.00 Welll .... we have one wild evening at the
Centre of the Universe; windy and
wet. Not an evening for going out with
the camera to get night shots. The Ivy
hatches have been well battened down;
the kettle is on ‘stand by’ and I’m a happy bunny.
I’ve
been fairly busy today ; as in doing
things.... not playing. After breakfast
I fired up the tele and had a game of golf.... my putting was excellent this morning
and I went round in -6: that’s for nine
holes. I then went up to Elie for the
paper, and went to the ‘Deli’ for morning coffee with the ‘Troops’. The 'Deli' is nice, but I missed Brenda’s and Laura’s,
chit chat.

At
coffee this morning I arranged with Dod to take him to Leven with me this
afternoon. I phoned him at 13.45, but
had dialled the wrong number. I thought
“och, I’ll go along by Elie and pick him up”. I turned the car (it was pointing North)
and went bumbling along to Elie at top speed.
There’s a 20 m.p.h. speed limit in the villages so I occasionally hit
the speed limit. By the time I got to
the Mackie Housing I was on Planet Albert:
it wasn’t until I was about Upper
Largo that I remembered that I’d gone via Elie to pick up George. ‘Planet
Albert’ is a tricky planet to live on.
I did the bank stuff in Leven, and also a wee shopping.
I’ve
a funny feeling that tomorrow is the ‘Colinsburgh Lite Lunch’.... so that takes
care
of lunch. If it isn’t.... lunch
won’t be taken care of. It’s forecast
to be warm, wet and windy tomorrow so the ‘plan’ will be; pick
up the papers, have morning coffee in Harbour House, then work on the
computer. The compatible ink that I
ordered has been accepted by the printer so I’ll print off a couple of pictures
for the ‘Cafe’ on Thursday. I’m off to
have a game of ten pin bowling.

When
I read this update I don’t seem to have done very much ‘work’; mostly I’ve been ‘playing’. Och well .... I feel contented , .... as if
I’d done a lot of useful things. Being
happy is useful I suppose.
