Warm ... but misty ....


27th June 2018 (Wednesday) .... 09.30     Although misty and overcast, it is a nice morning at the Centre of the Universe.    I’ve been on the beach:   the tide was
Earlsferry.    Welll .... a wee bit if Earlsferry from the rocks.
way out so I enjoyed an hour pottering along the edge of the tide.     There is a light easterly breeze, but not enough to make any noticeable difference to the temperature.    It’s warm.... and ... when the sun breaks through it will be hot.     Anyway I’ve had a decent walk... albeit a slow one.
   

21.30    I’ve had a reasonably busy day;  not ‘working’ I hasten to add.... more your sort of “playing, and finding out about things” sort of day.   The sun did eventually burn the haar back to give us a bonnie summer’s day. Unfortunately the easterly breeze became frisky and it was cool on the beach.    Having said that as long as you were out of the wind;  such as a wind break.... you’d be fine.
  
Afternoon on the beach.
After breakfast I went to Elie for the papers;   and ‘morning coffee’ in Harbour House with the ‘troops’.      The coffee shop was busy, with visitors browsing the gifts etc. .... this means that the villages are busy with early holiday makers.   The big influx begins next week.... I think.

It may have been cool on the Ferry beach, but it was anything but cool up at Colinsburgh:   this was the ‘Colinsburgh Lite Lunch’ day.   Actually you don’t have to travel very far inland before you leave the haar, and the cool wind, behind:   Kinneuchar was bright and warm and that’s less than a mile inland.   The ‘Lite Lunch’ was (as it always is) scrumptious.    I had mushroom soup then rhubarb with custard....  followed by coffee/tea, with strawberry tarts.   That took care of ‘food’ for today.

Back in the Royal Burgh I went to the beach, more or less to find out how busy, and
The Earlsferry end of the beach.
how cold it was.   It was fairly busy, but couple of groups had windshields up and were enjoying the sun, and there were a few walkers out.    Not many dogs today.   The haar was bumbling ‘in and out’ so I didn’t linger, and went home to watch the football:  Germany v South Korea.     I don’t particularly like this stage of the competition.    Anyway I woke up to find Germany had been eliminated.
Tomorrow is forecast to be another bonnie day, though we might be plagued with the haar in the afternoon ... again.    I think I’ll have a day of ‘rest’... pottering around the garden etc.

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...
