Calm morning .....
7th December 2021 (Tuesday) 09.30 .... the beach was very peaceful at
sunrise time; we had a ‘red sky in the morning’ when I first arrived on the beach, but by actual sunrise time the sky was grey. It’s amazing how fast it all changes. Anyway I enjoyed my bit of morning exercise, and had the pleasure of meeting Barbara, then Irene on the way home. Two rays of sunshine on what is forecast to be a grey day.
10.30 I’ve been for the paper.... and I picked up
a Later Flow Test kit from the Chemist.
Apparently it’s fool proof; I’ll
tell you if it is, tomorrow.
The
wind is freshening as per forecast; the Ivy Cottage hatches have been battened, the kettle is on standby, and .... I am having a swift cuppa before looking
for something to watch on the tele when I'm writing Christmas cards.
14.00 Storm Barra is in full flow now, F8 in Largo Bay; it’s windy and wet. I decided to go out before the storm arrived, I wanted to speak to Kirsty but she was out; so I had a wee walk onto the golf course. Sally (I think it was Sally) was out with her dog, but we couldn’t have a conversation ... the words were blowing away in the wind. As far as I could see we were the only two on the course. I managed to get a few photographs before the rain came. The tele has been fired up..... I’m going to have another cuppa, then write a few more cards.
20.00 Well, it has been a wild old afternoon; when I went out to the front gate, the first
thing I noticed was that the wind has moderated, and that it wasn’t
raining. I could hear big rollers thumping onto the
beach so imagine it, the beach, will have taken a walloping. The tide is going out now, in fact it’s half
out; it will be an interesting sunrise
tomorrow morning.... if it isn’t raining.
The ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to read the ‘rools’ that come with a Lateral Test kit. Most
‘rools’ usually go into the waste paper basket unfolded; but I’d best do this test thing properly.
