HM The Queen Birthday ........

21st April 2016 (Thursday) .... 08.00     HM The Queen is 90 today so ‘we’ shall sing .... Happy Birthday Dear “HM”... Happy Birthday to Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”    I am sure “HM” will have a lovely day!    Also... when we’re in voice’ ...  “Happy Birthday to everyone else whose birthday it is today.... happy birthday to Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”!

We have another beautiful morning.... a grand morning for the beach;   however I’m
Lower Largo
orf to Leven, in ‘major flap on’ mode;   I’ll calm down once I’ve had my haircut;   which ‘operation’ will be followed by a cuppa, and a goodie, in Stuart’s.

21.30    My wee legs are stiff tonight;   I walked from, and to, the garage at Banbeath to Leven, (a total distance of 4.5k), three times today, on concrete and my legs obviously do not like concrete etc.... and it was warm hot in the sun.    “Sooper Buggy” needs her brakes fixed, which I suspected might be the case;  this can’t be done until Monday.    I left her along there as the MOT runs out tomorrow night so I couldn’t use ‘her’ over the weekend anyway.     There’s something else needs doing but I can’t remember what;   anyway I get ‘her’ back on Monday.  
I got my haircut as per plan, and the cuppa in Stuarts....after which I browsed a few shops, then went to Sainsbury’s Cafe for ‘food’.    Although I spent a good amount of
Kilconquhar Castle Entrance gate
time walking, I spent about the same time resting and drinking tea.
Leaving the car in Leven meant I had to get the bus home to Elie .... and, it was a ‘double decker’ so I went upstairs to the front seat, and photographed my way home.    It was really too ‘bright and sunny’, which means more reflections on the glass, but I did get some interesting, ‘taken from the top deck of a bus’ photos.
After a quick ‘lite bite’ at Ivy, I got the bike out and went to the ‘Drop in Cafe’;   it was quiet at first but was numbers built up as the afternoon went on.    I had a nice, relaxing, time chatting... mostly to Suzanne about insects etc.
Tomorrow is forecast to be another sunny, but cooler day;  the wind is going to be
Kilconquhar Main Street
more Northerly.

Photographs : Top – Lower Largo, Middle – Entrance to Kilconquhar Castle and Country Club, and Bottom – Kilconquhar.    All three photos taken from the top deck of the ‘95’ bus.

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good lunch!   And it was a really good lun

Cold and overcast ....

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
