Crackin' mornin' ....


10th May 2019 (Friday)       06.30    What a cracker of a start to the day:
"Good Morning" from sunny Earlsferry.
  I’ve been to the beach to watch the sunrise, which event was at 05.08.... though it doesn’t rise above the village (viewed from the beach) for about another five minutes.   It was a bonnie time to be up and about.... the best time of day because you can hear the sounds of the planet.   Now I need to have breakfast, .... and a much needed cuppa.

20.30   The cracking star to the day, lasted the whole day;  and it has been not only sunny, but warmer too.   Funnily enough I didn’t do very much today.   Oh I went for the paper, and coffee in Harbour House,..... then up to Colinsburgh to put fuel in the car.   Elie has a sink hole;   a proper, metre sized cube shaped hole has appeared in Geoff’s lawn.    Actually this is the second one to appear;  the first one, in Geoff’s driveway, appeared a few months ago and is now covered by a solid steel plate.   Both sink holes are awaiting someone to claim them.   The road is subsiding too.   Scottish Water came and had a look, but decided that it was not their problem, and there the sink holes rest.    Two, extremely worrying, problems (three when you count the road);   the source of which needs to be found .... and remedied.   Hopefully no more appear.

Chapel Green, Earlsferry just after sunrise.
I ended up having a lazy afternoon;  in fact I fell asleep in the Hutte for half an hour.   Not surprising really .... I was ‘up’ at 04.30 to watch the sunrise.    I did hang the ‘troop’ pictures on another wall, and did some ‘ooverin’ and dustin’ and general tidying up when I was finished .... and in the mood.
Tomorrow looks like being another day like today.... sunny spells with a light easterly
Sink hole in Geoff's lawn.
breeze;  and warm(ish) out of the wind.   I don’t have anything planned for tomorrow;   I’ll see how the mood takes me after breakfast.... if it’s a quiet morning I might get the bike out.    Bike.... that reminds me:  Iain is bringing his and Jackie’s battery assisted bikes down tomorrow.   The plan is to bumble around on the e-bike(s) on Sunday so that I can get the hang of it and get one of my own.   I am excited.      Must go .... got a helmet to look out.

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...
