(Tuesday) 07.00 .... there’s not
much that’s more
 |
| Breezy morning. |
annoying than a BT hub flashing orange when it should be a
steady ‘bloo’.... and my hub is flashing orange. It did that for much of the morning
yesterday and looks like it’s going to be the same today: ‘Openreach’ are working on cabling in the
area so I guess we just have to put up with it. It means that ‘The Hutte’ will/might eventually
be uploaded sometime today.
The
sky is overcast just now and is forecast to be so most of the day, with a fresh
wind from the Northwest. Oh ... the hub has gone to 'bloo' I'll get online.
08.30 It’s
definitely breezier today.... and cloudier, but a nice enough day in a different
way. The beach was quieter this morning
in fact I only saw one group of people and they were along at the
Breakwater. Sunrise was never going to
be visible this morning.... well not at sunrise time anyway though I do see
some blue patches in the sky so we could have a few sunny spells. It’s breakfast time.

16.00 As far as the weather goes this hasn’t been
the bonniest of days.... but at least it has been dry. I decided to go to Leven to have as Maggie
would say “some retail therapy” and it worked as the more I bought the brighter
turned the morning. Not that I bought
a lot but I topped up on toothpaste and bathroom sundries at the ‘Cheap Shop’
then went to Sainsbury’s and did a food shopping.... finishing off with a cuppa
in the Cafe before visiting Jim. It was
probably the cuppa that that was the magic potion.
Jim
was dozing when I arrived at Leven Beach Care Home but it didn’t take much to wake him up
and we were soon chatting away about different things. Jim
likes talking and once you get him interested in something it does bring back
memories. Today we were talking about a
talk he gave at the West Anstruther Town Hall about tile

production in the East
Neuk and he remembered all about doing that presentation ... and the Hall. On the way out I met Janice Bell from
Kinneuchar; it’s a long time since I
last spoke to her. Bill and Sophie
(Bell), Janice’s parents, are both in Leven Beach. I arrived back at Ivy at 12.30, put the
messages away, and since then haven’t done very much actually .... apart from
drink tea and work on the computer.
20.00 Funnily enough in spite of the weather
being dour, I’ve had a fruitful day on the computer and the laptop... both of
which have been going like the clappers this afternoon: that said I’m hoping that we have a brighter
day tomorrow and less windy so that I can get out. However I think tomorrow’s
weather is going to be a repeat of today’s, so it will be more computer stuff. Harbour
House is open so we have morrrrrrrrning coffee and I find out what ‘the Team’
did today and stuff like that. Tomorrow
is going to be a busy day.
