Feeling cool ..... (so is the weather)
4th
May 2019 (Saturday)
.... 07.30 Yessss .... it’s a gorgeous
morning,
albeit a cold one; the
temperature was 1c on the garden thermometer.
There’s a light northerly breeze... hence the low temperature; and the wind is forecast to freshen so there will
be a noticeable wind chill. It’s a wrap
up day.

| It's a lovely morning .... |
We
have a ‘Coffee Morning’ in the Kirk Hall this morning; a good place to have a rest when doing the ‘scarecrows’. Local
coffee mornings are renowned for their friendly chat, and the onward movement
of go ... er ‘local news’. Well
worth a visit. Must go ‘slight flap on’; the kettle will be boiling.
19.30 The village have been busy, as was expected; it has been mostly a mix of sunshine and big clouds;
a couple of the clouds gave us some rain
but it didn’t last long. That happened
just as I was about to go out on the bike so I cancelled that ‘plan’ and
watched the Tour of Yorkshire instead.
I am no use at late nights; it
was
midnight when I got off to bed last night.
Today I have been tired, so was glad to actually take a rest. But today’s Stage of the Yorkshire Tour was
hard, and I haven’t had much of a rest!

When
I think about it I went to bed at midnight, and got ‘up’ at 05.30 to go to the
beach; no wonder I have been tired. There was hardly any wind at that time, in
fact it was probably the best time of day, because the wind got up to F4... so
it was cold.
I
went up to Elie in the car after breakfast, stopping to take a few photographs
of Dave anchoring the local ‘WRI Girls’ entry, more firmly to the planet. There was a lot of activity up at the ‘toon centre’ , when I had coffee
with Myra and Geoff ; we were
later
joined by Brenda. I’d forgotten about
the Coffee Morning in the Kirk Hall by this time. My late night/early morning was beginning to catch up with me so I went home to have '50' in the Hutte.

I
took 78 photographs of the ‘Colinsburgh Girls’ at Monturpie, so I should have a
few good ones amongst them. I’ll
select the best and get them on a stick for Frances. I’m going to have an early night in bed
with my book tonight, and bumble around some of the scarecrows tomorrow. The weather is forecast to be much the same
as it was today; sunny spells with a
brisk, cold, wind from the North.
