Sunny ... and colder
20th
April 2023 (Thursday) 09.00
.... We have another ‘wall to wall’ bloo
Anstruther.
sky.... but the NE breeze is fresher
than t was yesterday so it’s cold out in the wind. It’s a bonnie morning but I won’t be out on
the bike.... unless the wind moderates later in the afternoon. It’s a working day..... I’m taking advantage
of the drying wind and doing a woollen wash; and most of my day will be spent
in working The Hutte. I notice a few clouds starting to bumble over... adding some interest to the wall to wall blue sky; or could it be haar moving in?
17.00 It was 17C in Ivy garden this afternoon....welll
sheltered from the fresh Easterly wind (F3-4).
I went to ‘The Store (Ainster) to
do some shopping; my word the prices are
noticeably rocketing upwards. My check
out came to £56 ....and that was without any ‘goodies’. Unfortunately food is a necessity....
but I spend carefully; nae browsing. I bought ingredients for batch cooking
freezer meals hence the cost.
Roadworks
at the Waid Academy roundabout/cemetery gates means there’s a hold up getting
in to the Store car park.... and out... due to the four way temporary traffic
lights. I came home by the ‘back road’ for a change of
scene. That reminds me I saw strange pigs
in a field near Arncroach....I’ll try to find a parking spot to get a few photographs.
20.00 I ran into haar when I was at ‘The Store and could see that it was thicker towards Crail; luckily the haar never came in as far as here.... but the cool wind did. It was not a day for me biking... but I was tempted a few times in the afternoon; until I went to the front gate. I decided to make a fresh mug o’ tea and continue ‘working’ in The Hutte.
21.45 Ye Gods..... it’s cauld oot tonight: I’ve been puttin’ the bucket (broon bin) out and
it feels like winter is back with us. I
don’t think I’ll be far from The Hutte tomorrow!
Today I took three photographs; two of the roadworks at The Store (Ainster)... and one
of a lady being interviewed about the new Levenmouth railway, for tonight’s STV News. The lady?.... yep it’s Alice, who had been visiting her friend, in the Care Home.
