Feeling friskier ....

26th November 2017 (Sunday) .... There’s a touch of frost again this morning, with a, more or less, ‘wall to wall’ blue sky and a brisk breeze;   wrap up
Looking across to Earlsferry from the Elie end of the bay .... (2015).
well and  enjoy!   

 I am feeling brighter today, but I missed a coffee morning yesterday.... and a coffee morning, with loads of chat, would have got me out of the doldrums.    However,  there’s coffee and chat before the Church service (Kilconquhar);   I’m looking forward to that.    The master ‘plan’ is to go for a walk in the afternoon.
20.30    We had a christening  at the Kinneuchar kirk service today.... and the wee one took an active part .... letting us know that she was there.    I like that at any christening.    That, said the last christening I was at in Kinneuchar was “Skipper’s” .... luckily he didn’t let us know he was there.    The kirk was busy .... and the singing braw.   I didn’t contribute ... to the singing, but I did go up early for the coffee .... wellll ... tea actually...  ‘cos I’d  already had a mug o’ coffee.     Too much coffee has me
The beacon Earlsferry (2015) .... with Arthur's Seat in the background.
talking even more than usual:  not good. 

Myra and Jim picked me up, from Ivy, after the service, and we went to Harbour House for coffee, a scone, and a blether.    Jim’s car is in dry dock, and the car  they, Jim and Myra, are temporarily driving is definitely not a Jim car ... its tiny!    Suits Myra!
In the afternoon I caught up with some ‘ousework .... including some of the ironing .... before going out for a walk in the late afternoon .... i.e. gloamin’.    It was braw, windy but not as cold;   not the biting cold of the morning i.e.    A short spell of rain is due to pass over us in the early
Gloamin' time today.
part of the night, clearing away by morning:   we should waken to a bright and windy morning.... and probably cold.  


 Tomorrow’s plan? .... I have a dental appointment so that will take up the morning:   the appointment isn’t until 11.55 but I’ll go along to Anstruther early, and have a walk along Shore Street.... see if I come across any ex Craw’s Nest pals.

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...
