Glenrothes ....

9th September 2016 (Friday) ... 09.00    ‘The Boss’ and I were married on this date 55 years ago... only she wasn’t ‘The Boss’ then... she sort of morphed into ‘The Boss’ next day!       
We have a nice morning... in fact  was really bonnie earlier when I went along for the
Elie Harbour this morning ... I was on my way to the Paper Shop
papers, but there are clouds moving in from the West,....  bringing with them the rain that is forecast for later in the afternoon.

Jimmy and I are going to Glenrothes this morning, and I’m trying to think of a coffee place that does not involve much walking from a car park, for Jimmy.    Anyway I’d better get a ‘move on’ ... “Jems” will be at the door in ‘nae time’.
19.30    The trip to Glenrothes went perfectly,...  and we came away with the correct form that Jimmy has to fill in, and we also know where the form has to be returned to after it has been ‘filled in’.    I was ‘taken aback’ by the atrium at the Bankhead Park
The Terrace, Elie
Fife Council office;   it is huge.    The pond at the front entrance was a disappointment;  in fact, it would be better if it was filled in, and turned into a garden.    The pond is a brilliant ‘idea’, but only if it’s kept clean, and managed properly.    That’s the Fife Council pond at Bankhead sorted!    
After we were finished at Glenrothes, Jimmy and I then went down to Dysart, and had a cuppa in the Harbour Master’s House (Cafe).    We didn’t walk round the harbour, but had a good look at it from vantage points.     Jimmy can’t walk on old style paving stuff.
The wet weather, which arrived over us about 15.00, means that tonight’s ‘Moth Night’ at Barnyards Marsh has had to be cancelled.    I am not surprised, nor disappointed,
Jimmy at Dysart Harbour
by this.    Even if the rain does stop, the marsh would be seriously wet.   The rain is forecast to move away overnight, and we are to have a mostly, ‘bright, sunny and warm’ day tomorrow.    I haven’t got any ‘plans’ for tomorrow .... I’ll take a look out about 06.00 to see what the weather is like:   the sun rises at 06.34.... if it looks like being an interesting sunrise I’ll get the bike out.

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...
