Busy day .....

14th August 2016 (Sunday) .... 14.00     The sky might be overcast, but that hasn’t stopped lots of folk from going out and enjoying ‘Elie and Earlsferry:  men fishing down at  Apple Rock (Elie Harbour area), people messing about with boats on
Elie estate
the water....  out on bikes ....  or just walking (with or without dog).    The villages are ‘living’ .... and that’s the way I like them.    Oh .... I also like cars now;   cars don’t go away empty.     

My morning has been a busy one;  I’ve went out on the bike, and was down at the harbour when I heard the kirk bells ringing.... I immediately felt guilty ....  I’d neglected my gallery in the kirk yet again,...  but at least I knew it was Sunday.  Since then I have had a visit from Jimmy, quickly followed by Shona...and had  tea and “biccies” with both.    I have had a lovely morning chatting... and  had my share of tea!   Now I must ‘go’ .... ‘slight flap on’;   I want to do some gardening!
21.30      It will be hard to believe this but I did do a bit of gardening;   in fact I was
Elie Bay this evening
‘up tae the eyeballs in weeds’ when Jimmy turned up, in the afternoon, for a cuppa.    With Jimmy went orf home, I went back to the gardening;   there will be no one more surprised at this than I was .... however it didn’t last long.     The sun was beginning to break through the clouds, .... we had a lovely evening;  with hardly any wind ....  equals ‘reflections..... yes, it was time for some ‘beach therapy’.
  
With the tide being well out there was a big beach ... and a lot of folk came out to enjoy it... including some brave folk who went swimming.    As per usual I went down to the edge of the tide, and was well rewarded, with the exquisiteness of Elie and Earlsferry, on what was by now a perfect evening.    In ‘nae time’ I was in a ‘bubble’ of my own .... dreaming as ever.    All of a sudden, there appeared someone else with his camera;  out to capture the wonderful scene that we were ‘stood staunin’ in the middle of!    One
Enjoying Elie and Earlsferry 
of the many joys, of living in ‘Elie and Earlsferry’.  
 
The weather tomorrow is forecast to be brighter earlier, with a light wind ....  I shall get ‘up’, and be out early on the bike;   the tide is ‘out’ at 06.58 so a potter down among the rocks should be good.

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...
