Busy morning .....

3rd August 2017 (Thursday)    ... 12.00    Mmmmmm .... rain was mentioned in the weather forecast.... and rain we have:    not too heavy, in fact it’s
Kincraig from the 11th tee area.
pleasant stuff,  ..... apart from being wet!    I went out on the bike, before the rain arrived, then along to Leven, in the car, after breakfast.... I had to ‘top up’ with vital food stuff before the weekend.    That means the car is now ‘moored up’ for the weekend;  and that  I’ll travel round the villages by bike.    Must ‘go’, ever so slight ‘flap on’ .... I’m feeling hungry.
21.00     The rain cleared away about midday and we’ve had a lovely afternoon ... bright, breezy and warm.    The wind did ‘get up’ but even with the wind it felt pleasantly warm.   Warm enough for me to bike down to the harbour without a jacket.    The intention was to take my entries for the ‘exhibition’ down to the ‘Club’ .... but I forgot to take them with me.    Tomorrow is the last day to get them .... er ... slight ‘flap on’.    I have the photos ready all I have to do is stick a label on the back.
The Ferry beach.

The harbour was really busy this afternoon... not unexpected on a day like today.    And this is the busiest part of the holiday season.    Jimmy and I were sitting having a cuppa when Steve came in;   so we had a good ‘catch up’ chat.   

When I got back to Ivy I switched the kettle ‘on’, and finally ‘made up my mind’ on my final choice of photographs for tomorrow.     I’ll run them off A5 size instead of A4;  and I’ll have to get new self adhesive labels at the ‘Paper Shop’ tomorrow morning... having just found out that the  ones I have are only rectangular pieces of paper now, having lost their adhesive qualities.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is ‘nae bad’ ..... much as it was today actually, with
The West end of Earlsferry beach.
less rain.     Apart from going to the ‘Paper Shop’ first thing.... then the ‘Sailing Club’, after I’ve labelled the photos, I have no ‘plan’.   I will most likely circumnavigate the villages when I’m out for the paper;  though that all depends on the weather.

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...
