Bonnie sunrise ....
28th
September 2019 (Saturday) 08.00.... We had a bonnie sunrise:
and the beach was busy with dog walkers,
joggers... and Alison (or was it Lorna... I’m never sure) and me. It’s ‘bright and sunny’ with a light
Northwest breeze .... a bonnie day for getting out and about. I might get the bike out after
breakfast; it depends on how busy the
roads are.

It
is a beautiful afternoon and the villages are busy with visitors and day trippers. I went out on the bike and did ‘The Grand
Tour’.... missing out the harbour: even
on the bike going to the harbour at this time of day can be tricky. There is a brisk breeze from the west but it’s
not cold; it was enjoyable scampering
through the estate. I think the bike
goes faster than the car! Orf to have a
cuppa.

18.30 Well I did plan to have a ‘rest day’ and
that is ‘iggzactly’ what I have had: a
lazy day. I did a wee bit of ‘ousework
and made a lamb casserole for dinner. I
enjoyed talking to a few visitors at Chapel Green, and at my usual spot on the
Terrace; but I didn’t go for morning
coffee today.... I didn’t go up to Elie
in the morning.
The weather forecast for KY9 tomorrow is not
very exciting; “light rain with a
moderate breeze from the Northeast”. We
might get a few sunny spells, but it looks like I’ll be doing stuff on the
computer. There’s an ironing that needs
to be done; tomorrow may be the day to
do that.
21.00 My word ... I am tired tonight: it’s watching the World Championship Athletics
that has me in this state. Imagine
running the marathon in that heat and humidity;
Chepngetich of Kenya won Gold, with Chelimo of Bahrain taking Silver and
Johannes of Namibia winning the Bronze.
Nearly a third of the competitors stopped because of the hot conditions...
and the race was run at night. No
wonder I’m tired. I watched the 100
metres a few minutes ago; jings the competitors
in that race move faster than ‘Sooper Buggy’!

I’ve
had my Horlicks so I’ll watch a bit more athletics then have an early night. No ‘plan’ for tomorrow; I guess it depends on what the weather is
like. The athletics will be 'on'.
