Nice morning ....


19th April 2019 (Friday) .....  09.00   Our weather is just as the forecasters
...... perfect day for the beach.
said it would be;   sunny.    In our case it’s hazy, with a cool breeze off the North Sea.    It should become warmer later, but we’ll be plagued with the cool breeze all day.   It will be warm in Ivy garden.... and anywhere sheltered.    There is a pollen warning, though I doubt if that will apply to us with the wind direction being what it is.  

 19.30   It has been one cosy day: 20c in Ivy garden this afternoon.    But I can cope with this, having learned to do so in Cyprus.    It’s simple;  don’t do anything.... and that I am good at!
My word... what a pleasant surprise I got this morning.    Monica and Alistair were bold enough to have one of my photographs printed onto canvas;   and it looks amazing:  so amazing that I am going to have some done, the same way, to hang in Ivy.  When I’m old, I’ll be able to enjoy having a cuppa surrounded by some pictures of my favourite places.    I’m looking forward to picking a couple of photographs to start with.   Obviously it’s going to be an ongoing project, because it isn’t cheap:   that said, I was also pleasantly surprised with the price.    Thanks to Monica  and Alistair being
We all like the beach.
brave;   I am one extremely happy bunny tonight. 

It has been a perfect day for the beach;  it was busy when I went down.... that was about midday.    I imagine it would have been even busier in the afternoon:  that was when I was taking decisive action to avoid the heat:  doing a Soduko in the Hutte.   As far as I can see the next couple of days are going to also be hot.   The Soduko’s I’m doing are of the ‘Fiendish’ kind and it takes me a while to do one, so I’m well equipped to cope with hot afternoons.

I might circumnavigate the villages on the bike tomorrow;  but that would have to be
.... Elie Bay.
early .... before heat of the day, and the roads get busy.   If we do get another hot day the villages will be busy with holiday makers heading for the beach.  
This has been a really exciting, and happy day for ‘the Boy’   I need a cuppa to calm me down.    I might even bumble down to the beach again.

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...
