mention rain,
and it looks like it has been, raining, all night... furthermore it looks like
it’s going to rain for a while yet. It
is in fact a braw morning for chatting to a hairdresser; I hope Kirstie is feeling talkative this
morning. I will also make an appointment
at Specsavers (annual eye test), have a cuppa in Stuart’s, then visit Jim. By the time I’ve done all that the sun might
have broken through!
17.00 All the above missions were successfully
accomplished.... and Kirstie was in a talkative mood. She is originally from Wick and has a braw
way of speakin’. I made an appointment
at Specsavers, had a cuppa in Stuart’s and visited Jim just after 10.00 .... he was in talkative
mood, and had two ‘girlfriends’ sitting by his side in the quiet lounge: it wisnae very quiet.

The
sky did break up a bit after midday ... (oh... I’ve just remembered ....there
is snow on the higher bits of the Lammermuirs) .... but we had a series of squally showers coming in
from the East. I was caught out in one
up at Chapel Green. I had originally
thought about going to Crail but it’s nearer the North Sea (by 10 miles), and, with the wind
being from the East, I changed my mind and went up to Chapel green. I was able to shelter from the worst of the
shower ... a mix of rain, sleet and
hail. I am now ensconced in Ivy for
the night; unless we end up with a
cracker of an evening.
19.00 It is a nice enough evening... a mix of
sunny spells and with a threat of

showers. The wind is from the East, not my favourite
wind direction as most of you already know;
so I’ll give the beach a miss tonight, having had enough of the East
wind in the afternoon. Tomorrow weather
is going to be much the same as today’s, though we could see more sunny spells
and fewer showers.... once again on an East wind.
Tomorrow’s
plan depends on the weather. If I do go
out it will be in the car, so that I can have somewhere to dive into if I get
caught out in a shower. You won’t
believe it; right now I fancy a mug of
coffee and a ‘naughty’. I bought a varied
selection of ‘naughties’ in Sainsbury’s the other day!
