Nice morning ....


6th July 2018 (Friday) .... 09.30    It was cloudy when I first went out this morning, but blue is beginning to take over the sky and it looks like we’ll be having
Cloudy - but bonnie.
another nice day.    I’ve had a good walk;  the beach, Chapel Green and the golf course.... that will be my exercise for the day.   I’m taking the car when I go for the paper .... and coffee, because my knee does not agree with too much exercise.
I watered the roses this morning;  dearie me, that hose is the worst hose we have ever had:    completely inflexible.     It will be cut into bucket fitting lengths as soon as we get back from Cornwall.   Orf to have a cuppa.


20.30    Yet another lovely day draws to a close;  and ...  I have enjoyed it, though I did have a rest during the heat of the afternoon.   
I did take the car up to Elie for the paper (and stamps), and enjoyed a coffee,  and chat, with ‘the Troops’ in harbour House.    The villages are busy just now, with people
Part of the Chapel Green walk.
having a holiday in the villages, and with day trippers coming for a day on the beach. 
  
The car is away for its holiday... at Arncroach ... with Brian and Moira.    Next weekend is a  big ‘changeover’ weekend ;  the end of the Edinburgh holiday, and the beginning of the Glasgow one.    I kinda think the villages could be busy.  
I’ve had a reasonably busy day:  my case and holdall are packed, all I need to do is lock up the shed etc.... and have an early night in bed.    Jim and Myra are picking me up at 08.00(ish) I think, but I should be ready by then:  if I remember to come back from the beach.    Actually I might give the beach a miss tomorrow morning and concentrate on being ready!

The weather forecast for travelling tomorrow is good .... hot in the Midlands where we
North from the seventh tee.
have an overnight stop.    The plan is to upload a photograph onto FB every so often via the i-phone.   I have had a couple of practice shots.    The Hutte I will update when I get back to Ivy.     I do have the laptop packed but that’s for emptying the camera card in the evening.   If there is time I might do  a short Hutte update in the middle of the week.

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...
