Feeling good ....


16th April 2018 (Monday)     08.00..... Mmmmm ..... we have an  overcast sky, and there has been light rain overnight;  but the grey sky looks like it could break
1959 Cadillac de Ville.
up, and give us a few bright spells later.     That’s when I’ll go out on the bike;  later.     Bumbling into Leven first thing after breakfast seems a good ‘plan’, in the hope that the weather brightens up by lunch time.    I am feeling good, .... certainly not as stiff as I expected to be, after yesterday’s gardening.    Orf to have breakfast, then I’ll probably go to Leven.


12.00     Oh my word .... I’m in a state of excitement.    I went to Leven .... and fell ‘in love’.    I met this lady on the High Street, she is lovely, and chatty .... and has stolen my heart;    a ‘ship that passed in the night’.    I had to go to Stuart’s to have a cuppa.   A pot of tea, and a scone, after indulging myself, I went to Sainsbury’s, where .... you won’t believe it .... I fell in love again;  this time with a 1959 Cadillac de Ville moored
Kinneuchar loch.
up in the car park.    I’ll need to go out on the bike to in the afternoon to get myself back down to Planet Earth.   Planet Alberto is fine.... but can develop a  wobble, now and again.


20.00    I’m back to normal, after an enjoyable afternoon run, on the bike.   In fact I hadn’t gone very far up Ferry Road when  I met Alex (Dowie ) originally from Colinsburgh, out for a walk with a lady friend.     It was good catching up with their ‘news’.   I’ve done a lot of talking today. ... in fact, I do a lot of talking every day.... if I can find someone looking for conversation.    After chatting for a few minutes we went our separate ways, Alex and friend to their car, me up Ferry Road to Kinneuchar Station, Elie Estate..... and Elie harbour. 

This has been the best day for me biking for a long time;   the wind, had veered to the West, hence my going up Ferry Road, with the wind on my tail, to do the Estate clockwise, rather than my usual, anti- clockwise direction.    The immature swans are
Elie Harbour.
still on the loch, and ‘Auld Grumpy’ was on patrol..... but, he was in a good mood, when I saw him.   Perhaps he likes the sunny weather too.

The harbour was quiet;  only David at his creel boat, and a few visitors bumbling around enjoying the Spring sunshine.   The yachts, and the other boats, bobbing about on their moorings again, are a very welcome sight.
  
We could wake up to light rain tomorrow morning, if the weather forecasters have got it right.    Unfortunately it is also going to be windy.   However any rain should clear away by lunch time, leaving us with showers and sunny spells.

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...
