Playful ....


25th September 2018 (Tuesday) .... 08.30    It’s a nice morning, though
Earlsferry High Street.
I missed the sunrise, being that I slept ‘in’.     The phone alarm worked, and I had a cuppa at 04.40 as per plan.    That (the cuppa) was not my best idea;  it made feel ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ at quarter to five in the morning, and I couldn’t get back to sleep so lay and read my book:   eventually fell asleep at about 05.30.    Amazingly, I am still feeling frisky now.... even though I am later on the move than I’d like to have been.
There’s more cloud around this morning;  in fact the weather forecast for the next couple of days is for more cloud and a touch windier.    Today we have myriads of cotton wool clouds all over the sky .... whether they turn heavier later remains to be seen.   Rain is not mentioned.
Bonnie sky over Earlsferry.

 09.30    There’s one thing I now know;  it’s cold down on the beach... really cold.     The wind is brisk and must be taking a few degrees off the temperature via wind chill.    The Mara Seaweed gatherers (Edinburgh) are working on the rocks out of the edge of the tide.... they made me feel warmer;  but not much.    They (the gatherers) are well wrapped up with protective, and colourful, clothing. 
  

14.00    A fairly heavy shower of wind assisted rain has just passed over us,  so it is not as bonnie a day as it has been up until an hour ago.    I enjoyed our morning coffee break in Harbour House;  after which I gave Jim a run home, via  Balbuthie Loan and Kinneuchar.   This route is becoming one of his favourites.     It all depends on which way ‘Sooper Buggy’ is facing when we leave Harbour House.    Facing East means we go home via today’s route.    Jim finds this very exciting.   Then again perhaps not!    I’m ready to go to St Andrews .... after a cuppa.
20.00    I’m a happy boy after the latest PSA reading, which is now 6.4;  this is
The bottom of Ferry Road.
excellent.   Biking raises the PSA count... and I haven’t been on the bike much recently, which explains the lower reading.   My next appointment is in six, (instead of three), months.

The weather looks ... well not very pretty at all this evening.    “Yellow sky at night the shepherd’s delight”?     We'll find out      on our way to Dunfermline tomorrow morning; by the time we are across to the West coast (Troon) we should find brighter weather.      It’s a 05.40 start tomorrow so it will be an early night in bed tonight.

Overcast with light rain .....

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...
