..... the air is cool, but there’s

only a breath of wind so hardly any wind chill,
with only a few spits and spots of rain, so, compared to yesterday we have a lovely
start to the ‘day: I might go to the
beach to see what yesterdays sea brought in if the rain doesn’t come to
anything. Having said that the weather
forecast has us down for ‘overcast with an easterly breeze, and light rain or drizzle’..... not exactly inspiring.
07.30 The weather has deteriorated to ‘heavy
Scotch Mist and dreich’ in the last half hour .... my walk to the beach has
been cancelled, and the kettle switch is in the ‘on’ position! Half
an hour ago I thought we had the start of a ‘lovely’ day; right now we don’t have an interesting sky,
which we did have yesterday. Our
weather is sneaky.... and mostly wet.

14.00 I’m ready to go to Markinch to pick up Jim
and Myra, but I have to drop in to the ‘Drop in Cafe’ first, to drop off Lexie’s
photos and a couple for the wall. Actually
there’s only one and a half for the wall;
the printer ran out of ink halfway through the second one! I won’t have time for a cuppa at the ‘cafe’; I’ll have one now (in Ivy).... before I set orf.
19.00
Jim and Myra are ensconced in “No3” again after their breakaway in Skye.... via
Blair Atholl. When in Skye they were
bathed in glorious sunshine... though it was cold. Of course I told them all about the lovely clouds
that they had missed when they were away.
They didn’t seem to be overly bothered by missing our lovely clouds? Their train arrived at Markinch one minute
ahead of schedule. It was raining. It’s been raining, at varying intensities, (and
dismal) for most of the day!
The
‘Cafe’ was quiet when I was in, but that was early... and I couldn’t stay
long. The

weather was dreich at that
time. In fact I had the windscreen wipers
flapping around all the way to Markinch .... and back. And tomorrow looks like being damp
too. ‘Bonnie Scotland’ is not bothered
with dust storms; another good reason for visiting us. I think I’ll have a ‘sleep in’ tomorrow
morning! Mmmmm .... it could be a good day to start
making my Christmas cards. But .... you never know we might get a sunny spell. I won't put the sunbloc on standby!
