Overcast and damp morning ... but there are bright bits here and there

31st March 2017 (Friday) .... 10.00    Mmmmmmm .... it is not a ‘pretty’ morning as far as the weather goes;   overcast and damp after recent rain, but it is not
Elie Harbour.
cold.     Because there’s hardly any wind I’ve got the bike out;   I’ll bike up to Elie for the paper, and perhaps go up through the Estate.... no, cancel Elie estate, that road will be muddy;  I’ll just bike up for the paper and get back to Ivy in time to get the kettle ‘on’ for Jimmy.    Got to ‘go’ ... ‘slight flap on’ mode has kicked in.
21.00    Hey the auld villages look like being busy this weekend, I saw cars, with bikes on the roof, going down Ferry Road:    they must be getting into ‘holiday’ mood.    It’s good to see the villages come alive again after the winter;  that said nigh on every weekend has been busy.... busier than they used to be.    That reminds me;   we’re going to have a, I don’t know what you’d call it?.... a kiosk I guess,... selling Frogurt (frozen Yogurt), teas and coffees etc up at Woodhaven Car Park during the summer weekends:   and there’s going to be ‘The Elie Cafe’ (mobile) sited “on a Breakwater near you” soon.    It’s all go at Elie.   I’m sure Jimmy and I will find both!

Kilconquhar Loch.
For ‘dinner’ tonight I had the best Chicken Korma I’ve ever tasted.    Of course it’s really all  down to the Korma Sauce;   and the one I used today was excellent... Kanpur Garden it is called.    I think I bought it in Morrison’s.    The naan bread was 50 percent perfect ... I overdid  (slightly burnt) one side!

Tomorrow we have a Coffee Morning in Kinneuchar Kirk hall... with scones!     I’m sure we’ll find our way up to that.    Hey .... “Mr and Mrs Bell”, sometimes know as “Jim and Myra” should be  back in town soon.... they might even be back in time for tomorrow’s ‘CM’.    Jim always brings me a present when he comes back from his holidays... ‘Myra’.

I couldn’t think why I’ve been sleepy all afternoon, then I remembered that I read my
The Terrace, leading to South Street,  Elie
book through to the end last night;   I didn’t switch the light orf until 01.30!    I’ve also been out on the bike twice today, so there’s a good chance the light will be switched orf earlier tonight!    I’ll be going to bed very shortly.... after I find a new book to read.

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...
