and there’s a brisk breeze from the WSW, but not cold. It’s not warm either; just not as cold as it has been lately. I’ve been for the paper: There’s not much happening down at the harbour. I’ll take a walk to the beach after this update; that will be my exercise for this morrrrning.
09.30 The sky is beginning to brighten .... in fact I saw some blue briefly; we could have a reasonable, if breezy, morning. There’s a ‘half gale’ blowin’ on the beach.... certainly the place to be if you want some fresh air. There were a few spits and spots of rain in the wind at times, .... but not enough to dampen enthusiasm.... and I see more blue patches in the sky!
16.30 We have the making of a wild evening; the rain started in earnest (reached ‘normal’ by Scottish standards five minutes ago so it’s a braw evening for, finding something to watch on the tele, or work on the computer.... a little mix of both will be fine. Luckily I fed ‘Blob’ about half an hour before the rain began.

I had a walk up to the Pony Field in the middle of the day: it’s as windy up there as it is on the beach.... but the view is different. I met one lassie, out with her dog; she had done the golf course bit and was going home via the beach, with the wind on her back. It wasn’t as cold out as I thought it might be; nonetheless I was glad to get back into Ivy and put the kettle ‘on’. That reminds me.... I need a cuppa.

enough to iron. The heavy rain we had earlier appears to be petering out. It is going to be sunny with a light breeze from the WNW... and is to be colder again. I might get the bike out around midday. No ‘plan’ for tomorrow; we can’t have any adventurous ‘plans’ under lockdown .... so I’ll just potter around as the mood and weather takes me.... as long as it’s within 5 miles of Ivy, if I do go out.
