Bright, breezy and cool ....


4th November 2018 (Sunday) .... 09.00    It’s ‘bright and breezy’ this
Elie lighthouse sunrise.
morning.... and it feels colder;  probably because it’s windier.... and I’ve been at the harbour, where it’s always windy.    I fancied a change of viewpoint  at sunrise time;  however I prefer the wet beach with its reflections.   The sailing club slipway would be good with a flat calm sea.    
I don’t have plan of action for today.... though working on the computer appeals to me this morning.,,, after some exercise on the Wii.    Golf and ten pin bowling.


19.30    This has been an ‘Indian Summer’ kind of day;  warm and sunny ... and a joy to be out in.    I went up to Gillingshill Nature Reserve to see the autumn colours .... the beech trees leaves are looking good, both on the trees and on the ground.    I like the crunching noise that you get when walking through beech leaves.... or any leaves for
Gillingshill Nature Reserve.
that matter.     I met Janette (Janette was a waitress at the Craws Nest) who had walked up from Arncroach where she lives.    She is now working at Balgove, on the outskirts of St Andrews.   Janette hasn’t changed a bit ...still her same cheery self, even as she recovers from major surgery.   Amazing girl.

When I got back to Ivy I had  a quick cuppa then went up to Chapel Green and had a slow wander round to, and up to the top of, Lundar Law.    Lundar Law sounds like a small hill, which it is .... all 30 feet of it!.... and easy, for even me with a stick, to get to the top.   My knee will be sore in bed tonight.    Irene was out for some exercise... as was Anne ... the Ferry folk were taking advantage of the braw afternoon.   And so were a lot of visitors!    I went out in the car about sunset time but cloud on the horizon obscured actual sunset;  I enjoyed the run in the car, but it a waste of fuel re the sunset.
Looking East from the top of Lundar Law.

What am I going to do tomorrow?    I don’t really know;  the weather forecast isn’t bad, but the wind has backed to the Southeast so it will most likely be cloudier.... and not as warm as it was today.   I’ve got stuff to do on the computer so that will keep me occupied.... and warm.

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...
