Interesting sky day ....
28th
August 2019 (Wednesday) 07.00 ..... As you can see from the photograph we had a bright sunny start to
the morning but it has rapidly clouded over from the West and it now looks like
we could catch the edge of an early morning shower. ‘Sunny intervals with a frisky breeze’ is the
forecast for our area.... with the day ending with a bonnie evening.

I’m
ready to go to Leven to the Hairdresser’s, form there I’m going to Crail to
pick up ‘M’ for the day and we’re going to visit Jim in the afternoon. That’s the ‘plan’ at the moment.... but it
could change.
21.30 Everything went to ‘plan’ today; even the
weather. I got my haircut, went to
Crail and picked up ‘M’, stopped to visit M’s sister Edith and husband John in
Cellardyke then went to Ivy for a cuppa before visiting ‘Jimbo’. David was there and getting ready to go
when we went in: the Staff were sitting
the Residents down for lunch.... so ‘M’ and I didn’t have time for a long
visit. The visit was short but totally surprising; I’m sure Jim knew who ‘M’ was, and he knew
that she came from New Zealand. We had
a normal three way conversation: you
have to allow Jim to ‘grasp’ the question before he gives the answer.... but
otherwise a perfectly normal
conversation, I was pleasantly surprised at his reaction
to ‘M’.... I didn’t know what
to expect when we went in.

The
visit to Jim had to be a short one because the Staff were beginning to hand out
drinks etc before se4rving up lunch. We
said our “cheerio’s” and ‘M’ and I set off for Methil. Methil wasn’t our target destination, that
was Dysart Harbour, but we had to pass through Methil as we went to Dysart by
way of the scenic coastal route. So
Methil must be scenic.
At
the Harbour (Dysart) we had a ‘lit bite’ lunch at the Harbour Master’s
House: I’d booked a table for two at the
19th Hole for dinner in the evening so a big midday meal was not advisable.....
we both had crackers and cheese. Having
said that we both managed to have a huge ‘goodie’ for sweet: I had millionaire’s shortbread, ‘M’ had
something healthy(?).... because it had berries in it. After the food bit we went out on the
middle pier where I took a few photographs.
Dinner
in the 19th was absolutely excellent.
Neither of us had starter... we were both thinking of the ‘sweet’ course. For the main course I has steak pie, ‘M’ had
chicken.... both dishes came with trimmings;
in ‘M’s case a lot of trimmings.
She had a huge plateful of food.
The steak pie was delicious and I cleared the plate. ‘M’s chicken was also delicious but was unable
to finish it .... she had to leave room for her
choice of sweet ....
chocolate fudge cake with cream. I had
berries with ice cream .... and strawberry sauce: Mmmmm
that was lip smackingly scrumptious. There
are no wrinkles on the Alberto nine pack this evening. I ran ‘M’ back to Crail and so ended a most
enjoyable day.
