What a cracker of a start to the day:
 |
| "Good Morning" from sunny Earlsferry. |
I’ve been to the beach to watch the sunrise, which event was at 05.08....
though it doesn’t rise above the village (viewed from the beach) for about
another five minutes. It was a bonnie
time to be up and about.... the best time of day because you can hear the
sounds of the planet. Now I need to
have breakfast, .... and a much needed cuppa.
20.30 The cracking star to the day, lasted the
whole day; and it has been not only
sunny, but warmer too. Funnily enough I
didn’t do very much today. Oh I went
for the paper, and coffee in Harbour House,..... then up to Colinsburgh to put
fuel in the car. Elie has a sink hole; a proper, metre sized cube shaped hole has appeared
in Geoff’s lawn. Actually this is the
second one to appear; the first one, in
Geoff’s driveway, appeared a few months ago and is now covered by a solid steel
plate. Both sink holes are awaiting
someone to claim them. The road is
subsiding too. Scottish Water came and had a look, but
decided that it was not their problem, and there the sink holes rest. Two, extremely worrying, problems (three
when you count the road); the source of
which needs to be found .... and remedied.
Hopefully no more appear.

I
ended up having a lazy afternoon; in
fact I fell asleep in the Hutte for half an hour. Not surprising really .... I was ‘up’ at
04.30 to watch the sunrise. I did hang
the ‘troop’ pictures on another wall, and did some ‘ooverin’ and dustin’ and
general tidying up when I was finished .... and in the mood.
Tomorrow
looks like being another day like today.... sunny spells with a light easterly

breeze; and warm(ish) out of the wind. I don’t have anything planned for
tomorrow; I’ll see how the mood takes me
after breakfast.... if it’s a quiet morning I might get the bike out. Bike.... that reminds me: Iain is bringing his and Jackie’s battery
assisted bikes down tomorrow. The plan
is to bumble around on the e-bike(s) on Sunday so that I can get the hang of it and
get one of my own. I am excited. Must go .... got a helmet to look out.
