Nice morning but colder ....
18th
February 2020 (Tuesday) 09.00 .... it’s “bright, breezy ... and colder”
this
morning; definitely a wrap up well kind
of day. I’ve been to the beach and
there’s a brisk wind a blowin’ down there:
I forgot to wear a scarf so didn’t
linger long. It looks like being a
bonnie day but there are showers about;
I was late for the beach because it was raining when I first ventured out.

I’m
going to visit Jim this morning; I
suppose I’d better ‘browse’ Sainsbury’s when in Leven. There’s bound to be a few bits and pieces I
need... want.
13.00 The Nurse was sorting out Jim when I
arrive at the Care Home this morning (10.30) so I went to the lounge and made a
mug of coffee for us: he arrived about
10 minutes later. Jim took one sip of
the coffee and decided to forget it and concentrate on the two goodies I had
taken in. Jim was in fine form and we
chatted about Elie and The Royal Burgh.
It had been raining heavily when I went into the Care Home but the sea
looked placid and the sun was breaking through when I left an hour later. On the way home I thought I might get out on
the bike later, but the wind had risen so I had a light lunch instead.

When
in Sainsbury’s I remembered to buy currants to put in the semolina pudding that
I am going to make ... try to make .... perhaps tonight. Right now my eyelids are dropping; I need a cat-nap.
19.30 There has been a few wild sleet showers
today... and some crackers o’ clouds: I’ve
had an enjoyable day. I managed to get
into Mackie Housing to save my doughnut from George. Actually I didn’t ‘save’ it because he ate
it; but he bought a couple of fresh ones
today. We chatted, ate the doughnuts, admired a few
photographs and sorted out the world .... again. When I left George I went to the harbour
then home by way of .... yep .... Balbuthie and Kinneuchar. There was a heavy shower coming over from
the northwest: I drove into it just as I reached Kinneuchar and got the car
washed .... “it’s an ill wind” and all that.
Having
seen the weather forecast for tomorrow I have decided to get up and out
early; it’s going to
be wet later. I have the feeling that tomorrow might be a
computer day for me. The folk in the
flooded areas of the UK would be happy if a wet day only meant working/playing
on the computer: ye Gods I don’t I have
ever seen so much deep flooding before.....
and there’s more rain forecast for the already flooded areas. I have no doubt the politicians will tell us
how much ‘they’ are spending on flood defences.

It’s
supposed to be cold first thing tomorrow and I had thought of going out on the
bike, but I have a feeling that won’t happen for a few days yet.
