Cool breeze from the East ....
26th
June 2019 (Wednesday) 07.30..... the sky is heavily overcast,
and,
combined with a breeze from the east, the air feels unseasonably cool: it should turn warmer once the sun begins to
burn back the cloud. Alas, there will
be wind chill, which will take a few degrees off the temperature, near the coast; it will be cosy inland. I haven’t been out yet: I intend timing my circumnavigation of the
villages to be at ‘arbour ‘ouse for morning coffee; hoping that the sun will be breaking
through by then.

11.30 Wellll .... the sun has yet to burn back
the cloud; it’s still overcast, and chilly in the breeze, so I
took the car to the harbour and for morning coffee. The villages are busy .... especially Ferry
Road. Funnily enough I’m feeling sluggish this
morning; I watched Foyle’s War last
night and that ended at midnight. That
is a late night for me.... and I still wake up at 05.00. Although I
didn’t get ‘up’ until 06.00, I have a feeling that I might need to have ‘50’
after lunch. I’d kind of thought of
visiting Jim but I’ll do that when I go for the haircut.
17.00 My word ..... this heat is fair taking the
frisky oot o’ me; it’s been 22c in the garden. This not good for the older folks: I am just so glad that I am not old. It is even cosier in France and Spain....
and they are used to cosy weather. From all that you will have jaloused that the sun has burnt off the cloud layer.
I
did go to Leven after the ‘Lite Bite’ lunch:
oh, I must tell you .... the soup
and sweet was out of this world.... as was the company; a really pleasant hour. I don’t
need to make food tonight..... a light snack will do.
After
doing a wee shopping I visited Jim.
Sandy (Jim and Myra’s son) was over from Edinburgh, but we both thought
Jim slightly restless today. He (Jim) settled down once we started
talking about our National Service days;
and appeared to settle and enjoy the company.
20.00 Well
it has been a lovely day .... once the sun got going.... and this warm weather
is forecast to be with us for the next
few days: so let’s enjoy it. I will get out early tomorrow, then potter
around the garden. I must remember the
‘Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon.... this is the last one before the summer break. We have to take an item for the Food Bank (instead
of putting money in the tin) my donation being a big Packet of Kellog’s Rice
Crispies.
