"Good Morrrrrrrrning" ......


20th April 2019 (Saturday) ....07.30     There’s a light breeze from the West
Kincraig cliffs - Earlsferry.
this morning;  so, for those with a tendency to ‘hay fever, the high pollen count could be bothersome today, as another hot day is forecast.

 09.00   It’s a quiet morning so I’ve been out on my bike ... for a turn round the ‘Royal Burgh’.   All the moving bits of the bike are functioning as they should;  and, more surprisingly, so are mine.     I will bike up to the 'paper shop'.... and  come home via Elie Estate..... maybe.  
   

12.00    Wellll .... the first thing I had to do when I got back from Elie was tighten the bike handle bars.... that’s one bit of the bike that shouldn’t be moving.     It made for an interesting run along to Elie!    Funny .... I never noticed that they were slack (I’d slackened the handle bars off to adjust them .... and hadn’t tightened properly) when I went round the village this morning;  though I did think the bumps on the road were affecting the steering.    Anyway .... all is well now.   I skipped the Elie Estate bit of the first trip out on my bike this year.
The harbour beach at 10.00.
19.30    Wellll ....  it has been another sunny, and hot, day  with the temperature hitting 20.5 in Ivy garden.    I just lingered in the Hutte.... making ‘plans’, and rescuing a Queen Bumble Bee that made several missed landings into the Hutte:  she was aiming for underneath the Hutte.... where she is building Her 'Royal' nest..   


The bike handle bars have been fixed so I will be biking down to the Easter Service at the harbour tomorrow morning.   The Harbour Service is followed by breakfast in the Kirk Hall.    After breakfast there’s the normal service in the kirk, then more food, lunch, again in the Kirk Hall.    All that will take care of the morning.... and I won’t

have to make food.     According to the ‘rools’ (which I have just read) the service at the harbour ‘kicks off’ at 08.15.    The forecast is ‘good to braw’!   ...‘, good’ will morph into ‘braw’ by mid morning.   It’s going to be hot, again, tomorrow.... with a light breeze from the SSW.   The wind is backing to the East on Monday.

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...
