Nice walking morning .....

28th November 2016 (Monday) ....  11.00    We had light showers o’ rain at the beginning on ‘today’;   I know ‘cos I got caught in one down at the harbour
KIncraig cliffs.
.... this was at 08.10.    Sunrise was at 08.16 but didn’t happen .... well it did ‘happen’ but behind the clouds.    The weather has improved since then, and I went out across the golf course to West Bay then home via the “Boss’s  Seat” .... where I ‘picked up’, advice and instructions.   

When I go out walking, I am using a ‘walking pole’... this takes some of the pressure orf the knee;   and will extend my walking range considerably.     In fact I have two walking poles;   if I can find Maggie’s one!    We bought them for our Austrian walking holiday in 1997.
Bunker work on the fourth fairway.
20.00    The village (Earlsferry ... the Royal Burgh of) seems quiet;   apart from tradesmen working on various sites:  all this activity has given me feeling that I should paint the front of Ivy, which is in much need of a coat of paint.    I’ll do it in the Spring, when the weather will be settled, and warm. 
  
Today I have been ‘resting’ .... I fell sound asleep(for half an hour) after lunch;     it must have been brought on by all the ‘fresh air’ this morning.    Since then I have been ‘working’ .... the main ‘work’ getting a beef casserole organised for my dinner tonight .... and tomorrow night too!     Making my own ‘food’, gives me something to do... other than sleeping    The reason I fell asleep is easy to explain;   I woke up with a migraine this morning;   the first one I’ve had in a wee while.    I blame the weather!    It means an early night in bed with my book  .... “Spring Fever”, by PG Wodehouse.
Jimmy came along in the afternoon;  he’d been along to St Monans but there was nothing doing down at the  Harbour.    Even ‘Tergie’, who is most often to be found
Part of |Grange Road Earlsferry.
there, was absent!  

  The weather did turn ‘raw’ in the middle of the afternoon, and St Monans Harbour, indeed all East Neuk harbours, can be breezy and cauld.... it must have been cold if Tergie wasn’t down there!     If the weather forecast is correct he (Tergie) won’t be down at the harbour tomorrow either ... it’s forecast to be much the same as today but windier.

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...
