Bright breezy and showery ....




 8th September 2017 (Friday) ....  08.30    Hmmmm ... it looks like being, ‘bright breezy with showers’ weather today.... a nice enough day;   in between the

showers.     I am feeling ‘bright and breezy’ too, and will venture out, for a walk along the beach later;  right now we have a spell of showers passing over in fairly rapid succession.

20.30    The showers petered out by lunch time;   which was a bit of luck ‘cos I had a washing out.    Actually I’ve had a quiet day, having gone down to the harbour when along at the shops this morning ... in the car;  so not much in the way of exercise there.    In fact I went to Elie twice in the car .... I forgot to go to Barnett’s the Baker the first time.    Elie seemed quiet ... both times;  I thought this was a holiday weekend, but apparently it’s not.

I did a walk around the harbour this morning.... but never got up to Balcarres, which was my intention.    Instead of  going to Balcarres I ended up pottering around the garden... and having numerous cups  o’ tea.   I’d say that I have had a ‘lazy’ day.... but, then again, I am supposed to rest for a couple of days ... according to Siobhan ... the Nurse.   I’m not too keen on ‘resting’... it’s sort of frustrating.    Lucky that the Tour of Britain is on the tele just now;   I watched that intermittently.    Watching the race continually is a bit like watching paint dry .... ‘intermittent’ keeps it (the race) interesting... today’s stage finished in Aldeburgh, where Irene and Maggie went to play in the Daily Mail competition a number of years ago..   The Tour finishes

in Cardiff on Sunday.

Tomorrow would have been ‘our’ 56th wedding anniversary.   Although I 'lost' Maggie 8 years ago,  she, ‘The Boss’ is still rattling around in my head, keeping me right. 
Tomorrow I’m hoping to be mair active, with at least a turn round the Woodland Walk, and an anniversary coffee, at the Bottom of Balcarres Crag.     The weather forecast is ‘good’;   mostly ‘sunny spells’ with a few showers.

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...
