Feeling animated


31st March 2018 (Saturday)     09.30 .... I’m feeling fairly animated this morning;   alas, the weather is not suitable for playing outside:   being ‘dull with rain’,
It looks cold .... and it was!
now and again’.    The wind has backed to the Northeast, and it is cold, ....  but, easier to breathe.     I’ll have a bumble down to the beach after breakfast;   choosing my time with care.... to miss the  showers.     You never know we might get a sunny spell later;    having said that,   I don’t think the bike will be coming out today at all.    Orf to have breakfast, having overslept .... again.    This is perfect ‘sleeping in’ weather.


11.30     I’ve yet to get to the beach, but I have been working on the computer.    As expected, the villages are busy with holiday makers:   I know this because I see ‘strangers’ walking on Ferry Road, .... strangers wearing waterproofs etc.   This is not holiday weather.    I’m going to see if it’s dry enough to go to the beach;  we’re having
Sea Tangle 'road' this afternoon.
a brighter spell (paler shade of grey) just now.


17.30     I did get out for a walk;    in fact I did the ‘roond the Chapel, and home by the beach’ walk, which works out at just under 2 kilometres, so I’m a happy bunny;   and a slightly cauld one.    It did threaten to rain at one point but it never came too much.    There were a lot of ‘strangers’ out walking;   taking advantage of the quieter spell of weather.    Anne was the only other local that I met.   
It was high tide by the time I got to the beach part of the walk, so I walked along the bents.    It’s a 5.8 metre tide today (and tomorrow) and there are some big rollers coming in.     With the wind being off the Northeast the waves aren’t as destructive as they were last week.
19.30     It certainly has not been ‘holiday’ weather so far this Easter .... in fact the
Earlsferry High Street.
weather  on Good Friday, and today has been downright miserable:  but, I have been able to get going with two ‘projects’ on the computer... and had a walk on both days.   It’s definitely an ill wind that doesn’t blow somebody some good.    Is spite of the weather I am content.


Tomorrow morning, at 08.15, we have an Easter Service at Elie Harbour:  the weather forecast for tomorrow is cold and mostly dry, with sunny spells .... after an early touch of frost.    We’ll be glad to get up to, and into, the kirk hall for breakfast;  which follows immediately after the harbour service!

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...
