Lovely late 'sunrise' over the Chapel ruin ....

27th September 2017 (Wednesday) .... 09.30     After a really long and restful night’s sleep, I woke up to find that we had a lovely morning, albeit a bit hazy,
'Sunrise' over the Chapel ruin.
but nice for getting out and about ... even though the wind is from the Southeast.   I had a good walk ... along the beach, round Chapel Green and home by the golf course:   meeting and chatting to Carol on the beach, and another lady out walking her dogs up at Chapel Green;  so I’m a contented ‘boy’, who is now looking forward to the Colinsburgh Lite Lunch at 12.30.
20.30    Earlsferry is busy with holiday makers still .... that and building work... so there’s plenty of folk to speak to.   The weather hasn’t been bad at all today, though it’s going to rain later, and overnight.
We had the Colinsburgh Lite Lunch today;  a choice of two soups, and two sweets, plus tea/coffee and biscuits... and best of all... company and chat.   All my Colinsburgh

girlfriends were there, so there was much noise!    Jimmy and I went down to the harbour after the ‘lunch’ ... just to see what was ‘going on’:  not much as it happens on the ground, but the sky was busy... with  interesting clouds and light.   We then went back to Ivy and had a cuppa, before going along to Leven so that Jimmy could ‘top up his larder’, with porridge, and other foodstuffs he was running out of.     Jimmy likes to have a decent stockpile of grub .... I think he is worried about a bad winter.

AH Varazze, Atlantic Kestrel and Transocean Prospect should reach the Strait of Gibraltar in a couple of days;   I imagine I will lose them soon after they get into the Mediterranean, but I might get lucky when they are at the toe of Italy.    This is a good way for me to improve my Geography.    I now know where their final destination, the ship breakers yard at Aliaga, in Turkey, actually is ‘on the map’.... and how big the
Lonely beach hut.
yard is!    Our redundant aircraft carriers, Invincible, Illustrious and Ark Royal were dismantled there.

Tomorrow we have the ‘Drop in Cafe’ in the afternoon:  I must remember to go for the papers tomorrow, having completely forgotten about them today.    The weather forecast is ‘nae bad’ for tomorrow, ... after some overnight/early morning rain.

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...
