Hmmmm ... dull kind of morning
1st
August 2019 (Thursday) 06.30
.... the sky is overcast, but some
‘bloo’ holes should appear in the
general greyness by mid morning; along
with the chance of light showers. I
see the first of the ‘bloo’ patches appearing so all is good at Elie and ‘The Royal
Burgh’. I’m going out on the bike in a wee
while; the plan is to wash jerseys this
morning, though that’s kind of dependant on the showers .... preferably the
lack of.

The
“Tenacious”, a three mast barque launched in 2000, has been moored off the May
overnight... on her way to Leith. ‘She’
is the biggest wooden vessel to be built in the UK for over 100 years; designed specifically for young people, over
16, with disabilities.
09.30 I’ve done the ‘Grand Tour’ (the villages
and Elie Estate) and all is as it should be.
Although the sky remained overcast all the time, it is a nice enough day
to be ‘out and about’; and a few paler
bits are beginning to appear so ‘sunny spells’ aren’t far away. The villages were quiet; I met Primrose ... walking the dog and litter
picking; she, and Neil (unsung heroine
and hero of the villages) litter pick every day. Sadly litter louts drop litter every day...
if only they could learn to drop it in a bin.

21.00 It’s been a bonnie day for the woollen (jerseys)
drying; but not a very productive one as
far as getting much else done. I had a
migraine at midday and that, more or less, took care of the afternoon. I took a couple of pills and pottered,
catnapped, and did Soduko’s. I’m feeling
brighter now, and should be really ‘good for work’ in the morning; with a spot of play fitted in somewhere. I went down to Nana’s Seat to see the
Tenacious but she was on the other side of the Firth, so the photo I got was
not the best.
After
we had morning coffee I came home via the Estate, mostly to avoid the traffic between
Elie and The Royal Burgh: the mirror like
look of the loch had vanished in the freshening breeze; the loch looked bonnie, just no reflections.
I
think tomorrow is supposed to be another nice day.... a repeat of today’s
weather.

For
some reason I got round to thinking about eyebrows today. For instance; did you know that the ancient Egyptians,
both girls and boys, painted their eyebrows as an homage to the God Horus? I know that you will be pleased to know that;
but what made me think of eyebrows
today?.... Horus isn’t ‘iggzactly’ headline News. Oh I remember: Brenda was working this bonnie Thursday morning,
(and does every fourth Thursday)... and that has something to do with eyebrows. I’ll come to me.... and when it does readers
of ‘The Hutte’ will be the first to know.
