Breezy and cool ...


22nd September 2018 (Saturday) ... 08.00    It was bright and breezy
Elie... this morning.
when I first looked out an hour and a half ago;   now it’s breezy but not as bright, because a layer of cloud has drifted over from the Northwest.    It’s cold, and I’m feeling ‘one degree under’ this morning, so haven’t ventured further than the front gate.   That reminds me....   ‘flu jabs on 1st October.    Orf to have breakfast.


20.00      I’ve been ... welll... further than the front gate;   I went for the paper, and morning coffee, then along to the re-cycling Depot at Pittenweem, where I dumped the old printer.   It was a nice morning, and warm in the car, but breezy and cool out.
The new printer is easy to operate, as I discovered when and I scanned and printed off a few documents.    It’s really simple;  load the scanner then ‘click’ the necessary buttons.    I’m happy.   The hardest bit was setting it up;  and that was probably
Elie.
because I was under the weather .... and growing older.

This a holiday weekend so the villages are busy.   Unfortunately I haven’t been feeling well enough to go to the beach to find anyone to speak too;  in fact most of the afternoon I spent sound asleep in front of the tele.   When woke up I watched a film of a bloke biking the ‘bealach Na ba’ road (the cattle road) to Applecross.... in the same kind of weather that Maggie and I got when we drove that road..... misty with ‘nae view’ from the top.    I have the video that Maggie took.   It was braw when we arrived at Applecross, where we had lunch in a ‘poly tunnel’ Cafe.   Aye those were the days.

We’ve had a lovely clear evening so we could wake up to a cold morning... below freezing temperatures are forecast for the Highland glens.   It will be around 4c here.    My ‘plan’ is to get up early, assuming that I’m feeling perkier.   I’m going to take it easy again tomorrow as I have a busy week ahead.    Monday; Leven, Tuesday; St Andrews, Wednesday;  Dumfries House coach trip, and Thursday;  get a cortisone injection in
95 bus at Elie.
my knee.  It’s all ‘go’ next week, which is why I intend resting all day tomorrow.

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...
