morning...

though we could get a touch of frost just before sunrise
(08.45). I’m feeling energetic this
morning, after a really good night’s sleep.
I’ll take down the Christmas cards etc. before going to the beach; get back to normal after the holiday. A lot of the holiday makers went home
yesterday and the villages silent again.
I’m
not that keen on silent. Oh we bumble
along in our own quiet way, but there’s something missing. The sound of the younger generations perhaps?generations
perhaps?
16.00 Who said it wasn’t ‘that cold’ this
morning? It may not be freezin’ but it’s
a raw cauld that gets right into auld bones. I went up to Chapel Green (in the car) to
visit ‘The Boss’ and take a few pictures.
My hands were frozen by the time I got back to the car.... and that was
wearing gloves.

There
were a lot of people enjoying Chapel Green, even though it was a grey (and
cold) day. Sunny spells? We haven’t had one, but there’s always
tomorrow.
I’ve
been watching ‘Wild China’ on and off most of the afternoon. In between I have been dusting the living room
after taking down the Christmas cards.
I didn’t go to the beach today; I
went to Leven and finished the shopping I began on the way home from Pettycur
yesterday. It has been too cold for this
delicate boy to be on the beach.
20.00 This cold spell... (it’s going to continue tomorrow)...
has me staying in and doing ‘ousework.
It may be breezier tomorrow; if
so I’ll do a washing, and hang it out

early.
One thing I don’t need to do tomorrow is go shopping. I’m fancying a run along to Culross, but
that’s the kind of thing I’ll do on a bonnie day. Yep .... it looks like being a mix of ‘ousework,
computer stuff, and the tele again, ... plus frequent cuppas. I’ve just remembered, Jim and Myra are
going to the ‘Deli’ for morning coffee.
Now... if I could remember that in the morning....!
Frances,
a lady from Colinsburgh WRI, has been on the phone and given me a date (21st
March) on which I’d show the Colinsburgh Rural girls some of my photographs. That gives me something to work on. Now I need to think about my trip to Sussex.
