Bonnie morning ....
2nd
July 2020 (Thursday) 06.30 .... It’s a nice morning... mostly
overcast
but at least it’s dry, though cooler than is should be at this time of
year. I’m having a cuppa before going
‘’roond the villages’ on the bike .... and picking up the paper on the way this
morning. I won’t venture into the
estate as the road will be muddy.

| 'Quacker' of a morning'! |
09.30 I’ve circumnavigated the villages to try
out the camera and went to the ‘paper shop’ for the paper(s).... and chatted to
Irene who had walked along from ‘The Ferry’
The villages are starting to get busy with holiday makers now which is a
double edged sword in a way; we like the visitors but don’t want the
virus. (Note for Boris ; there is a
border; Hadrian built a wall along it!).
22.00 We had our ‘morning coffee’ at the War
Memorial; that’s the place to sit and
watch the world go through Elie..... it’s a busy corner. The feeling that things are getting back to
some kind of normal is a relief, though ‘the good old days’ are gone forever: or at least until there’s a vaccine. We think we’ve had it bad but the USA is
in a real mess; but hardly surprising when you think of what
they have as a ‘leader’.
After
morning coffee I went through the estate and was, once again, surprised at how
good the road was. It wasn’t the best
day for going through the estate but it did give me some exercise. When I was out on the bike I decided I would go to ‘The Store’ in Anstruther (this
time with a list), to get the things I didn’t get on Tuesday .... the shop is
quiet at lunch time. I really think
this idea was brought on by the visit to Harbour House which set me thinking of
the ‘good old days’.
I’ve
had fun with the camera today.... all I need to do now is order the accessories
I want to complete the kit; spare
battery, remote release and lens hood.
I am certainly happy with what I’ve seen so far.
By
all accounts tomorrow is going to be wet, with Saturday being much the
same. It
will be computer stuff for
me.... and doing Soduko’s in The Hutte I suspect. Sometimes we get lucky and the worst of the
bad weather misses us.

| Coffee time. |
I
see that SEDCO 711 has left the Firth bound for the breakers yard in Turkey; things are quiet in Largo Bay now.... ‘Ocean
Valiant’ being the only platform left.
