November 2018 (Thursday)
.... 08.00 The sky is beginning to
break

up after overnight rain.... in fact I can see some ‘bloo’ bits , so we should
have sunny spells by mid morning by the
look of it. I had a ‘sleep in’ this
morning and didn’t get up until 06.15... and I feel really refreshed..... I did
have a look outside at 05.00 but it was raining then.
I don’t have a ‘plan’
of action for today; but I do have the ‘Drop
in Cafe’ in the afternoon so anything I do will have to be done in the morning. Orf to have breakfast.
13.30 Remembering that I had some business to
attend too, I went to Leven in the morning .... and I went to Sainsbury’s to do
a small shopping when I was in Leven.
I met Myra and Jim on the High Street, and arranged to meet them for
coffee, but I met Jim between ‘business’ appointments both of which were to
take some time so I did my shopping;
and missed out on the coffee. I’m
going to make a coffee after this update:
it’s a long time since I had one of the Hutte Finest. I’ll then have ‘50’ before going to the ‘Cafe’.

20.00 The ‘Cafe’
was busy this afternoon .... and buzzin’ like a bumble bees nest; I fair enjoyed it. Honor came in and updated me on the tubs
Jock wasn’t planting.... he was painting them!
I did think it was a funny time of year to be planting tubs in Bonnie
Scotland.... unless with daffy- down- dilly- downs. The reminds me .... it has been cold today
and I have slightly sore throat. I’ll
gargle with ‘sautie’ water (water with salt in it) and that should shift it.
Because
it was a beautiful afternoon when I left the ‘Cafe’ I went down to the harbour

then home to Ivy by my usual route, stopping on the outskirts of Kinneuchar to
get a few autumnal photographs. The
first day of November has been bonnie.... and it felt slightly warmer when I
put the ‘broon’ bucket out not long ago;
that might be because the wind has dropped away to nothing.
I
don’t know what I will do tomorrow; it
all depends on how I feel.... and if I’ve shaken off the sore throat. It is the time of year for sore throats and
caulds etc. Right now I feel fine...
but tired. I bought half a dozen
books in one of the many Charity shops that are in Leven High Street, so I
might get off to bed early and start a new book.
