... have
some fun on this especial day.
It is bright and breezy this morning but awfie cauld... not a day for
pottering around on the beach! So I
didn’t. Instead I went
to the harbour in the car; it was
probably caulder there than on the beach!
It’s a good
drying day so I have a washing going through the machine. Food!
I need food... and a cuppa.
12.00 I am not long back from ‘The Braes’ ... and
harbour at Pittenweem. The plan, when I
left Ivy, was to go to Gillingshill Nature Reserve and have a wander in the den,
out of the wind.... so I end up at Pittenweem where there’s a gale blawin’. The wind is bad at the top where you park
the car (the Braes Car Park) but the coastal path that

takes you down to the
village is in the lee of the braes so it’s sheltered and it wisnae that bad; I wanted to get a photo of the Fishermen’s
Memorial to print off to let Jim see. Mission
accomplished and I am now ready for a lite lunch.
16.00 We’ve had a lovely day albeit a cold
one; that said the wind moderated in mid
afternoon and it was pleasant on the beach.... although the temperature has
dropped considerably today .... its cold enough to feel wintry; it’s 3c
on the garden thermometer just now so it could be frosty tonight. In fact the weather forecast continues to
have a sleet/snow showers yellow warning out for ‘KY9’ through to 10.00
tomorrow morning.... but that will be for the high ground I imagine. Oh .... the washing dried in ‘nae time’ today,
all I need to do is iron it.
19.00 Although I woke feeling sluggish this
morning I’ve had a reasonably active

and fruitful day: active as in ‘going out to play’ (though I
never did get to Gillingshill), fruitful as in ‘working on the computer’. I feel satisfied and even a wee bit
tired. I still have photographs to
print off to let Jim see; so that is
next on the agenda. Tomorrow?..... all the weather forecasts that I
look at tell me it’s going to be cold so the bike won’t be coming out; it could be a good day for visiting Jim. In the meantime another cuppa is called
for; I’ll fire up the printer first.
