Beautiful Spring morning ....


19th April 2018 (Thursday) .... 09.30    We have a cracker of a Spring
Elie.... this morning.
morning.... sunny, and warm, with only a smirr of a breeze from the SW;  perfect morning for ‘doing’ stuff.    I’ve been out on the bike, and spent an hour wandering around the harbour area.   I’ll go up to the Estate  after this update, drop into Harbour House on the way home, then do some work around the garden.    It’s a “ want to do things” kind of morning.
 
Elie harbour.

20.30     Now this kind of weather I could get to like;  19c in Ivy garden this afternoon:  maybe not quite as warm as it was down in ‘Sunny Sussex’, .... but warm enough for me to enjoy.    I went out three times on the bike, and I do believe that I might have a touch of the sun.    Mind you that’s hardly surprising;  sunshine is an unfamiliar phenomenon to my delicate skin.    Most times it suffers from wind burn.    It has been a lovely day:  now we need a series of ‘lovely days’, .... in fact a whole ‘season’ of sunny days:   we could call it - Spring.   Yes I have, and I’m sure we all have, enjoyed this lovely Spring Day.

I biked the Estate run in the morning,  then up to the Drop in Cafe in the afternoon.    It was great to see the ‘Cafe’ busy today, having been quiet last week.     Today it was buzzin’ like a Bumble bee’s nest.
  
After the ‘Cafe’ I made my way up to Chapel Green (on the bike) and had a quiet
Elie.
browse around.     I watched a few people walking the beach, and the Coastal Path;  people taking advantage of sunny, and warm, weather.    Long may it continue.... we could do with a long spell of  sunshine.    I had rest on the Boss’s Seat, .... then did some ‘ooverin’ and dustin’ when I got back to Ivy.

I’ve had a busy, and really enjoyable day, .... and feel tired at the end of it.   There won’t be much reading done in bed tonight I’m thinking.     Actually it’s a long time since I felt as tired as I do tonight:   it could be the weather.   This is migraine weather. 
Tomorrow’s weather is forecast to be much the same as today’s was... though, perhaps not quite as warm.    My ‘plan’ is to get up early, pick up the paper, do the harbour and Elie Estate run;  before breakfast.

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...
