December 2019 (Wednesday) 09.00 .... The beach was deserted
 |
| Elie Bay just before sunrise. |
this
morning.... probably because there’s a hoolie blawin’ and it’s cauld; that said it is a bonnie, ‘bright and breezy’
start to the day, even though it is
cold. We had a nice but not
spectacular sunrise... with a bit of red
so ominous. I didn’t linger on the
beach.... and left it all to the birds.
17.00 My word ‘the boy’ is tired but he’s a happy
boy. The car wash at Leven is back in
action and I have a clean car: I went
to Sainsbury’s and had a cuppa.... yes.... and bought a few ‘food related’
items; i.e. “emergency rations”. I was in good time for visiting Jim but he
was ‘three quarters’ asleep... and wasn’t for waking up. The Staff had a Country and Western tape
playing and Jim’s foot was tapping in time to the music.... I spoke to him and he did answer but was
very tired so I only stayed for 35 minutes or so. I’m going for a haircut tomorrow morning so
I’ll drop in and see him after that.

When
in Leven I went up to get a photo of the Methil Library building: Methil doesn’t have much going for it but the
facade of their Library building is of Art Deco style....and really
classy. I’d forgotten it was a ‘working
day’ so there were cars parked all along the front of it. I’d also forgotten it was the Christmas Friendship
Lunch today so was in a state of panic
to get home; I made it before the girls
began to serve. I have always said
that we are really lucky to live where we do and it’s not just the scenery
around us.... it is the folk that live around us that makes our wee villages
special places, and the girls of East Neuk trinity Church are the best.... love
you all girls; and yes I did enjoy my
Christmas Lunch... and I am enjoying

‘wearing’ it now! Honor was sitting at our table and updated
me on Jock’s activities and how busy he was organising the order for the Christmas
Lunch. Apparently he wants a Chef’s
hat for Christmas! Honor is a lucky girl.
The
weather has turned colder and the wind is of the brisk variety so there’s
a considerable wind chill factor; not a
day for the beach. Oh I nearly
forgot: Michael phoned to say that my
case had been delivered 24 hours after it was picked up from Ivy. I am impressed.
