Feeling fresh ... and frisky even

30th July 2016 (Saturday) .... 10.00    It’s a nice morning for pottering ‘up town’ and having a coffee;   I might do that later.    In the meantime I have the bunk
Earlsferry beach
‘bedding’ going through the machine, being as we have a good drying day, ... however showers are forecast for the afternoon.

There was a nice ‘freshness’ in the air when I went round the villages, on the bike, earlier ... it, the fresh air, reminded of Austria for some reason.   I wouldn’t mind going  back to Austria again;   but it wouldn’t be the same on my own.   I’ll bike up to Balcarres instead.   Must go ‘slight flap on’ .... I’m hungry.
22.00     Oh boy .... this has been a brilliant day.   The weather has been ‘nearly amenable’... meaning that we did get a rain shower, but only after I’d brought in the
The threatening clouds mentioned in the blog.
washing:    the greater part of the day has been ‘bright, breezy and sunny’.... a really good day for getting things done. 
 
I got into a walking mood after lunch, and set off up to Chapel Green, with the intention of going up to the top of Kincraig.    I never got higher that the top of ‘Lundar Law’.... which isnae very high (40 feet above sea level at the most).   It was from the top of Lundar Law that I noticed dark clouds coming over from the Northwest... so I hastily changed my walk ‘plan’ from, meandering up to the top of Kincraig,  to going ‘back to Ivy’, by the shortest route, so that I could keep an eye on the washing.    I’m definitely getting more ‘housewifely’ in my thinking ... a couple of years ago I’d have blundered up to Kincraig, got caught out in the rain,.... then remembered about the washing.    As it was, I got back to Ivy about 15 minutes before the rain, ... so I’m a ‘nearly happy bunny’.    Note to self;   I must remember to actually bring the washing ‘in’ before it starts to rain ...!

Although I have been busy today, I have taken ‘time out’ to play exercise by way of biking and walking.    The weather tomorrow is more or less a repeat of what we had today, which is fine;  I still have a pair of sheets to hang out.  
The ants have completely disappeared... I’m beginning to think the colony/nest might have been in my ‘broon’ bucket, because it was after I moved it to the front garden that they appeared, with the ‘I’m lost’ look.

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 f...

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 l...

6th August 2024 (Tuesday)    10.30 .... it's a beautiful morning, with a nice fresh breeze.... if only I Aldershot 1958. could go out on the bike!   Anyway... forget dreamin';  today is my appointment with the Consultant, at Queen Margaret Hospital (Dunfermline);.... and I'm hoping to find out what the 'plan' is.   Michael and Janice are out in the car.... shopping.   They should be back in about an hour or so.    I've tidied up the kitchen and will now have a cuppa while watching some of the action from Paris.  22.00    This is more like summer.... in fact I could get to like this weather.      Michael and Janice went up to Cupar in the morning, while I got myself organized  for the Queen Margaret appointment.   Michael and Janice arrived back with lunch, Fisher and Donaldson macaroni pies, with FD's for sweet.   We set off for Dunfermline in plenty of time and arrived with t...
