Lovely day ....
21st
September 2019 (Saturday) 08.30 ....we have a bonnie morning
... and
the forecast is for it to be sunny the whole day. The only fly in the ointment is the wind
which is from the East and cool. The beach was very quiet this morning; as far
as I could see I had it all to myself... which is more than can be said of the
Ferry High street.... it’s full of cars.
It is the weekend right enough .... makes me think something could be
happening; I don’t know what....?
Cosy glow Ferry beach. |
09.30 I have been a busy boy; one of the sheets has been hung out on the line
to complete the drying process, the other folded and hung in front of the
radiator. There’s a cool northeast wind
that will dry the sheet, unfortunatly also means that I’ll leave any biking until later
when the sun is scorching hot! I’ve
also made the bed; I think I deserve a cuppa.
Ferry High Street 10 minutes after sunrise. |
11.30. Jings.... everywhere is busy this morning. The Ferry High Street full of cars, the ‘paper
shop’ full of customers; whatever’s
happening the weather is good for it.
There was only Geoff and me for coffee in Harbour House this
morning; well that’s not quite true as
there was other customers, but Geoff and I were the only members of the
team.... Myra and George being absent;
Myra in Tuscany, George in the Beild Housing complex. I think I’ll get the bike out later in the
afternoon; the wind has freshened over
the morning. I’m hoping it will moderate
by evening time.
14.30 My word .... it is cosy. I’ve been to Leven and managed to do a
small shopping in Sainsbury’s that included frozen stuff, so missed visiting ‘Jimbo’. I arrived in Leven at 12.50 which would have
been Jim’s lunch time, so I did the shopping first, the intention being to not
buy frozen stuff. I’m a silly boy. I also missed the Mwandi coffee
morning/talk in the Kirk hall. My
problem is that I never really think about what day it is, only if it’s
daylight or dark. Oh well I’ll have a cuppa.
18.00 It has been a bonnie day... but cool in the
northeast wind. I didn’t go out on the
bike because the wind never moderated;
hopefully I’ll get out tomorrow morning. I have done a wee bit of work this
afternoon; sorted out the living room and
flattened a wasp (they’re in a bad mood at this time of year) that was in the
Hutte. I’m not
overly tired this
evening.
20.30 It was good having ‘M’ living in Ivy; now I feel very much ‘on my own’ again, even
if the village is full of people. Oh
well work on the computer it is. I’ve
been doing interesting research for the Hutte pages, and I am now ready to knit
it all together and write it all up.... so that will stop me feeling lonesome. I’ve had a good day today, though I have
booked the car into the garage on Wednesday as I can hear another noise now
that the exhaust has stopped rattling.
It’s safe enough to drive.... only the noise is irritating. I have thought of getting a ‘new’ car but the
VW has only done 60,000 miles so I guess I’ll just have it sorted. I’m feeling quite excitable now.

The
weather forecast for tomorrow isnae bad... ‘sunny intervals with a moderate
easterly breeze and an chance of thundery showers later in the afternoon/evening’. I must get out on the bike early; if it isn’t too cold.
