moderate breeze” is the forecast, a perfect
drying day: and there's a washing in the machine..... I’m also contemplating finishing pruning the lilac tree. I’ve only been as far as the gate, putting
the bucket out, but I did notice that the moderate breeze is also a cool
one, there's lot of cloud about, and that sunrise is not going to be visible; that said it’s the kind of morning
for wrapping up and being out in the fresh air. ... and the lilac tree is outside!
14.00 My word ....I don’t think I have ever seen
the road to Leven as busy as it was today.
There was a heavy load manoeuvring at Upper Largo which held up the
traffic for a while but even after that was cleared the traffic was still slow,
and heavy; at one point I was at the
tail end of along queue of traffic having caught up with it .... usually

I’m at the front causing it! Traffic was heavy in both directions. When I eventually got to Sainsbury’s (‘cos
that was where I was going) the shop was as busy as I have ever seen it. Even the lassie at the checkout commented on
how busy it was. By the time I got out
of the shop it was 12.45 so no point in going to visit Jim; the
staff would be getting everyone in place for their lunch. I don’t understand what the cause of all this
busyness was!.... it’s only a normal Friday.
Oh well I got the shopping I needed.... now I’m ready for ‘50’. Oh I nearly forgot; “Sunny spells?”.... I don’t think we’ve had
one; but the washing is dry.
16.00 ‘We’ (as in the Royal ‘we’) have one
perplexed bunny at this end. That hole

that I mentioned yesterday, up at the Ferry Road sub-station; it’s the innards of a hole. The thing is I cannot find is the hole! There looks like there could have been a hole
at Irene and Ken’s garden gate but there isn’t one now. When is a hole not a hole?.... when it’s the
innards of a hole! That is so true. That’s not the only amazing thing that has ‘appened
on Ferry Road today: a pole, with the Double
Yellow parking instructions plate on it, had fallen down a week or so ago. I go and have ‘50’ after lunch today and waken up to find that
a new pole, with aforementioned ‘rools’ well affixed at the top has appeared
while I slept. The world never ceases
to amaze. It can take weeks, even months
sometimes to get a pothole filled in, but a parking plate pole can be fixed in the
time it takes for me to have a catnap.... and it was done so quietly. I need a cuppa. Having said that; it is a bonnie pole I wonder if I should get
the metal polish out?: after all it is a ‘Royal’
pole.
20.00 It has been a funny old day.... the ‘sunny
spells’ never materialised so it has been grey, windy and cold all day. The next three days are going to be ‘breezy,
sunny and dry’ so I might get the bike out.
Today I did a wee bit of ‘ousework .... but not with a great deal of
enthusiasm.... and the ironing.
