Feeling 'sort of' frisky ......

3rd June 2017 (Saturday) .... we have ‘bright sunny and warm’ this morning .... a lovely start to the weekend.    I’ve been out on the bike;  only as far as the ‘paper
Elie Harbour.
Shop’ and the harbour, but it was enjoyable .... and I was glad to get out for some exercise.    It’s just so bonnie that a lassie was sitting on the sea wall having her breakfast, and enjoying the peace and quiet:   I didn’t disturb her...nor take a photo with her in it:   though it would have been a good one.

The cold (‘man’ variety) is beginning to slacken off but I have a cough, so I’ll stay ‘out of circulation’ for next few days;  don’t want to spread this around.    That said it must be doing the rounds of the village already ‘cos I managed to pick it up somewhere.

Last night I watched the ‘Two Leaders’ on Question Time:   The best bit as far as I was concerned was the lassie that asked the question immediately after the “press the nuclear button brigade had asked their questions”.     Before she asked her question (I forget what it, her question, was) she said “I don’t understand why anybody would want kill millions of people!”   That, to me, put the ‘press the button’ gas at a peep.    The lassie obviously knew what ‘pressing the button’ would do.   You only have to think of the Chernobyl disaster to know the damage that the fallout can do .... and that was an accident, not a nuclear bomb.   I really don’t know why we need to have our own
Eloie harbour mooring chain.
‘Weapons of Mass Destruction anyway .... we’re in NATO.   What did I think of the rest of Question Time?   It was interesting but,  didn’t set the heather on fire.    I’m fed up of hearing about ‘Brexit’..... that is going to be a disaster.
21.00    Jings the weather has been ‘mixed’ today.    Around midday, a bank of fog came in, and the temperature dropped;  the fog drifted in, and out, for a while, then drifted away, leaving us us sunshine and heavy showers!     I ‘moored myself’ up in Ivy and caught up with ‘paper work’.... filing stuff, and filling the grey bucket.  
I’m having another early night, and I won’t be going to the kirk to claim back ‘my
'The Breakwater' are of Elie.
gallery’ tomorrow;   this means that I’ll miss the ‘picnic’ on the Toll Green at 11.45......but  I do not want to spread this bug around.

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...
