Bonnie morning ....
9th January 2021 (Saturday) 08.00 .... It looks like being a bonnie
day.... though there is red in the morning sky (I am going to the beach after I have another cuppa). Sunrise is at 08.40, the tide is half way in there’s a light WNW breeze... and it’s frosty. Lovely morning for going out.
11.30 We had a bonnie sunrise but my word it was cold... though fine in the lee of the dunes. There’s a rawness in the wind that we didn’t have yesterday... and light cloud has moved in and is now taking the warmth out of the sun, so the early morning could turn out to be the best part of the day by the look of it. Orf to put the kettle ‘on’ .... again.
20.00 There was red in the sky at sunset time but
the forecast for tomorrow isn’t that exciting;
‘light cloud with a moderate breeze’ .... and slightly warmer. I eventually went up to Elie to pick up my
prescription, then home by way of Kinneuchar.
The path up to the kirk (Kinneuchar) was a sheet of ice but it was fine
walking on the grass. I didn’t have to
‘social distance’; there wisnae anyone
to social distance with. Kinneuchar was
quiet.

I
contemplated going for a walk, up to the Pony Field in the afternoon but it was
too cold: strangely enough, by sunset
time the air was warmer..... but not much.
I went down to photograph the High Street 15 minutes after sunset.
The
worst thing about ‘lockdown’ is not being able to meet and talk to anyone inside. Folk, living on their own, must find it
hard. Not that I like talking of
course; but I miss sitting having a chat to someone over a mug of coffee. I haven’t over conversed today, but being a
quiet, shy kind of person, I suppose that’s normal. However
.... I do sometimes worry aboot my tongue muscles!
What’s
the plan for ‘ra morra’? Well .... if
it is warmer and the streets clear of icy bits I
Earlsferry High Street.
may... just may ... get the
bike out. I don’t think it’s supposed
to rain.... and I fancy a run round the villages. I am allowed to do that for exercise; I could even go as far as Balcarres for
exercise, but won’t be doing that until there’s a big improvement in the
weather.
I
have slowly been eating, reading and wearing my way through the Christmas
presents. Regarding reading.... I am a busy boy ....creepin’ aboot subterranean Edinburgh. .
