It's cold ....


22nd May 2018 (Tuesday) ..... 08.00    There’s a noticeable drop in
Pittenweem Recycling Depot display.
temperature, and in the strength of the ENE wind, this morning.... it feels like  a step back to winter, after the recent hot days.    This is the day that I’ve chosen to go to Leven and have my haircut:   my head is beginning to look like I’m growing my own blankets.    I’ll do a shopping when in Leven.    This weekend coming up, is a holiday weekend (Whitsun) so I’d better stock up, because the villages will be busy.
I won’t be out on the bike in this wind .... but Ivy garden is sheltered so I’ll get some more tidying up done, and take the bags of weeds along to Pittenweem re-cycling... remembering that they are closed on Wednesday.

18.30     It has been a nice enough day;  bright and sunny, most of the time, .... but, the brisk north easterly wind kept the temperature down.    It was warm out of the wind.
In the middle of the afternoon I went along to the re-cycling depot at Pittenweem with bags of weeds.  The top photo is a display that the workmen have set up with stuff that has been ‘dumped’.   The Pittenweem Depot must be one of the cleanest recycling Depots in Fife;  I hope their efforts are recognised.


22.00    Jim and Myra are back ‘in residence’ after their romantic break up in Grantown-on- Spey;   and are now sorting out their next holiday;   Cornwall at the beginning of July.    I am joining them on this holiday, an ‘organised coach tour’.    I
Gorse adds a bit of colour to Kellie Law.
saw the holiday advertised but didn’t fancy travelling on my own;  when I heard that Jim and Myra were going, I asked if it I could tag along.     This means that someone will have me as a travelling companion!

It isn’t going to be as windy tomorrow so it could be quite warm;  in fact the next couple of days could be warm in spite of the East wind.    Regrettably pollution levels are forecast to be ‘medium’ for the next couple of days.    Nae biking for ‘the boy’ I’m thinkin’.    However I have empty bags that need filling with weeds so I’ll get on with that in the afternoon.    The morning will be taken up with picking up the papers, and having coffee in Harbour House.

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...
