'M' ....
12th
August 2019 (Monday) 07.00 ..... We’ve got the equivalent of
an
ozone hole above ‘The Royal Burgh’ this morning ..... a ‘bloo hole’! The sky is predominately lightly overcast, but
the ‘bloo hole’ suggests that we could be
in for sunny spells.... better look out the sun cream. It’s actually a nice morning, though
everything is wet after the rain. There’s
a light breeze from the West with the promise of a bonnie afternoon. I’m picking ‘Her M-ness’ up from St Monans
this morrrrrrning: ‘M’ (Margaret) is
over from New Zealand to visit auld haunts and to cheer up her sisters and
friends. We shall begin our day with
coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse. Actually .... ‘M’
is not only a girl, she is from Cellardyke originally, so my ‘plan’ for coffee
might be overruled. Must go slight ‘flap
on’ .... I want to scuttle round the villages before breakfast.

09.00 There’s an autumnal nip in the air this
morning .... a nice crisp feeling that makes me want to get out and about. I have been (out and about) and everything
is braw and fresh looking around the villages, and where it should be. I’d better have breakfast then get ready to
pick up ‘M’. I suppose this means I’ll
have to comb my hair etc.
21.00 On the way home from St Monans: I’d
picked up ‘M’ from her sisters.... I
stopped at ‘arbour ‘ouse for morning coffee and we were joined by Janice who had
been out for a walk round the village.
Michael was golfing at Ainster, so Janice was free to bumble around the
villages. After coffee we went to Ivy
and had a cuppa before ‘M’ and I went to Leven to buy a couple of bedtime
reading books, and a few things at Sainsbury’s... including a light lunch. We were back in Ivy by 14.00. Janice and Michael then took off for St
Andrews, while ‘M’ and I went to Nana’s Seat to enjoy the ‘sunshiny’ afternoon....
and for me to take advantage of the fact that I had a ‘model’ to photograph. The
sky began to cloud over’ lowering the temperature, so we went back to Ivy....
about five minutes before a heavy shower came over.
We
had dinner, browsed the photos I’d taken, and I took ‘M’ back to St Monans.

Tomorrow
I take the car to the garage to get the breather hole cleared. I’m looking forward to filling the tank with
fuel at a normal speed; at the moment its a 'stop start' job and takes long time. Furthermore .... it’s embarrassing.
I
think tomorrow is forecast to be ‘wall to wall bloo’ sky day .... most of the
day. Michael and Janice are going to
Edinburgh on the early bus (X60)... so I’ll be i/c of ‘me’. A daunting prospect!
