friends the world over, loads of happiness and love on this your
especial day.
We
have a dry, ‘cloudy with long sunny spells’ start to our day in the East
Neuk... with a brisk and cool Northwest breeze. Golfer are out golfin’, (Jock is out there
too, .... I know this because Jock’s car is parked up the street); dogs will be walking their owners; and I am enjoying a cuppa before I fire up
the main computer. I have only been
as far as the front gate.... the plan is to stay warm, (I’m not going to the
kirk) and play this cold like Scotland played the second half of the game
yesterday. Must ‘go’ ....ever so slight ‘flap on’ .... I have
work to do.
19.00 Myra and I visited Jim this afternoon: and
found him in excellent form. Since his
escape attempt he has been moved upstairs.... well away from the front
door. However ‘Leven Beach’ (the care
home) is a clean and well equipped place, and, though he doesn’t have a great
view from his room. The views from the upstairs
lounges are all excellent: from the
front lounge you can see the cliffs and, more excitingly, the ‘Royal Burgh’. A nurse brought Myra and me coffee and
cake; Jim didn’t want anything having
had lunch about an hour previously.
Anyway, while

Myra and I are enjoying the coffee, Jim gets up to go for
a ‘ramble’ along the corridor (the corridors have ‘street’ names ,,,, but I can’t
remember the name of this one). We
gave him a few minutes then went to look
for him. Where did we find him? ..... happily
ensconced in the nurses office with three of the ‘Carers’. He seems to have settled in!
When
we got back to the Royal Burgh I went to the beach ..... it was pleasantly warm
as the wind had dropped. The beach was
busy; it was one of those late balmy
kind of afternoons you can get at this time of year. Frost is forecast for first thing tomorrow
morning....so we could be in for a decent day tomorrow again.
I’ve
made good progress with the ‘presentation’ and should have all the photos in

place by the end of this evening. All it needs after that will be ‘tweaking’.
I’m happy with what I have; I
only hope that the girls like it.
