Perky ... after a good nights sleep


27th September 2018 (Thursday) ....  08.30   We have ‘bright and
Grey ....  and breezy morning.
breezy’ this morning;  and this is forecast for the remainder of ‘today’;   a  nice morning... and a good drying one.... but rain is mentioned in the forecast. After the marathon coach trip yesterday,  I had 8 hours unbroken sleep last night.... my word I was tired.    Feeling perky this morning though.

I’m getting a cortisone injection in my knee this morning;  so ... I’d better get a move on.  
  
14.00     This is the ‘Drop in Cafe’ day;   and I missed the last one as I was waiting for an Amazon delivery (new printer).... so I don’t intend missing it today.    There’s also the Apple Fest in the Kirk Hall;  this is on at the same time so I might bumble round to that after the ‘Cafe’.    I’ve been for the paper(s) and coffee in Harbour House.... oh ... and I had my cortisone injection.   I won’t know for a couple of days if that has worked, but hopefully it will.    When they work they are small miracles..... more or less walking normally for a few months.    I see spots of rain hitting the window so it’s not a bonnie
Earlsferry this afternoon.
afternoon..... at least we're not being bothered by dust.
20.00    We have a bonnie evening .... in fact if I hadn’t had the cortisone injection I’d go to the beach;  however I’m supposed to rest for a couple of days.... and I’m feeling ‘light headed’.   I did have a walk to the beach in the afternoon.


The ‘Apple Fest’ and the ‘Drop in Cafe’ were combined, and held in the Kirk Hall.    Bob told us the history of the apple, including the ‘Elie Apple’!    We sampled three different apple juices, and had to write down our impression of each one:  the juice with the most votes turned out to be the one I buy in Sainsbury’s!    I can’t get over there being no record of an Earlsferry Apple!    Having said that (well written it)....  an Earlsferry apple would have been a really ancient, and a famous apple: the one that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden perhaps?    Yes that would be it! 

We’ve just has a ‘red sky at night, the shepherd’s delight’ sky;  tomorrow is going to be
Sunset sky.
a nice day of sunshine, with a light wind, but cool.    Tonight the temperature is dropping to about 2c.   It will be an early night in the cosy Royal Burgh tonight I’m thinkin’.

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
