Windy but nice for walking .....

22nd  February 2017 (Wednesday) ....  10.30  Jings there’s a fair breeze blowing today.... it certainly blows the cobwebs away.    “Storm Doris” is on ‘her’ way
Elie.
right enough.    I walked over the ‘wee course’ and down Woodside Road then back home, via a meandering route, to Ivy ... a total distance of 3.46 kilometres (2.1 miles).    I had two stops: the first one at the surgery to make an appointment, the second at the ‘Paper Shop’.    I had 94 subsidiary stops ... to take photographs!    I feel really fresh... and lively .... I  might go out again in the afternoon... after the light lunch at Colinsburgh.   
Elie.
21.30     Oh my word:   it seems that storm ‘Doris’ is going to disturb the tranquillity that exists at the Centre of the Universe;   we might waken up to s-n-o-w tomorrow morning.   This is ‘bad’ .... in fact it’s ‘bad bad’.     Of course the snow might only be on the higher ground .... such as the ‘Pony Field!    In anticipation, of naughty ‘Doris’, I transferred a Lemon Meringue Pie from the freezer to the fridge:   Jimmy and I will have a quarter each in the morning... and depending on how bad the weather is, we’ll have another quarter each in the afternoon.   We won’t have any chocolate!    “Puku” likes bad bad weather.

I’ve had a ‘happy’ day .... talking to lots of folk.     I went up to the ‘lite bite’ lunch at Colinsburgh and had great time:  I feel that I am back ‘home’ again.... it’s great what a bit of blethering can do.    Having said that my bedtime reading:   a book I got for Christmas called “A Sussex Miscellany” is full of Sussex lore, and history ... all of
Elie.
which is interesting, and some of which  =’s places to visit.   

Elie was looking good, (it always does), this morning;  and there seemed to be a lot ‘going on’... perhaps it was the wind that gave me this impression.   I, without doubt, enjoyed my walk:   unfortunately, if ‘Doris’ is as ‘naughty’ as she is forecast to be .... walking might not be on the agenda tomorrow.    Eating Lemon Meringue Pie will be!
My router is acting up.... probably a weather thing.    It’ll settle down in a wee while I imagine;   I’m hoping to update the Hutte before I go to bed!

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...
