Feeling skittish ....
20th
October 2019 (Sunday) 07.00 .... It looks like being a nice
day...
maybe I should say it feels like being a nice day as I can’t really see
what it looks like being that it’s still dark. However I can see stars in the spaces
between the clouds so that’s a good sign, and there’s a light northerly breeze,
which will freshen when the sun rises, yes I think it will be a bonnie day
albeit with a bit of cloud about and I
should get the bike out when the sun gets going... if it can
bumble it’s way above the clouds. That’s
all wrong you know: it’s not the sun
that’s climbing it’s the Earth that’s spinning round.... West to East.
I had planned to go to Balcarres today but tomorrow’s weather forecast is a better one (for Balcarres etc)..... less windy with sunny spells.
08.30 I have been a busy boy, having done and
hung out a washing.... and been for a quick daunder to the beach. When I checked the weather cams I knew there
was never going to be a visible sunrise;
well not until it appears above the clouds, but it’s a bonnie morning nonetheless. It is a good morning for a walk on the beach....
for a walk anywhere in fact. I’ll get
the bike out after breakfast.

10.00 At last the sun has managed to appear above
the clouds so I can now think about ‘going out to play’.... going out, for
exercise, on the bike. I must remember
gloves because it isn’t ‘iggzactly’ warm.
There’s a good drying wind and now that the sun is up my washing should
be dry by late afternoon. I’ll have
another cuppa before
putting on the high vis lycra’s red anorak.
Shona
was out on her bike in the afternoon and dropped in for a blether, so we had a
coffee and caught up with each others ‘news’.
It was turning cold by the time she left for Barnyards.... and the sky
is clear so we could be in for a cold night;
followed by a sunny day I hope. There was a warm looking sky at sunset time so
that’s a good sign. “Sunny with a gentle breeze” is the
forecast for KY9.
18.30 I’ve had an enjoyable day; with a decent mix of ‘play’ and ‘work’. I went out
on the bike but only as far as
Kinneuchar, then home via Elie Estate and Chapel Green. The villages were busy with people wandering
around all over the place reminding me of the coastal villages of Cornwall.
