Lovely morrrrrrrrning .....

1st February 2021 (Monday)   11.00 .... Oh dear;  it looks like there won’t be

much work done around Ivy Cottage today..... there are lots of lovely clouds around!

I’ve been for a walk along to the Breakwater and have sorted out some photographs that I took;  now I shall have ‘morning coffee’ before deciding what to do next.   Someone should really do some ‘oovering;   because ‘someone’, who must have been on the beach, has brought sand in on ‘his’ shoes.   Orf to make the coffee.

14.30   I can’t complain about the weather:  With the ‘lovely clouds’ having been replaced, by a layer of sleet depositing cloud,  the ‘ousework has been done.   It’s an ill wind that doesn’t blow some good somewhere.    I have also had time to have lunch...  and help Sherlock Holmes;  now I think I’ll have another cuppa and then do some ‘computer stuff’.   The sky looks like this spell of wetness is here for a wee while;   we actually had wet snow at one point.     Wet snow here, will have been dry snow up on Balcarres Estate. 

21.00    I needed to buy a new pair of ‘wellies’ .... and couldn’t think where I could buy them locally at first;  then I remembered Myra telling me that Neil (Appleton’s) has set up an ‘online’ shop.    I browsed the ‘new site;   and found ‘wellies’.... which Neil delivered this afternoon.   I won’t have cold feet when walking on the wet sand now:  ‘Thank You Neil’.... I am one happy and satisfied customer.   Having looked at the weather forecast I think I have bought the wellies just in time:  there’s a spell of inclement weather coming our way!    Rain and sleet for us.... falling as snow on the higher ground.

As you will have see I did do a wee bit of ‘computer stuff’ this afternoon.... bought the wellies.   I also did some typing and ‘played’ with some of the photographs I’ve been taking during the latest ‘lockdown’.    I also found (and watched) a ‘Midsomer Murders’

episode that I had never seen before.... and I didn’t fall asleep and miss the end of it.

I suppose the weather will dictate what we all do tomorrow;   I hope to get out for a walk, first thing in the morning.   If it’s wet it will be a run up to Elie in the car for the paper .... followed by a quick trip to the harbour.
