'Bright and breezy' morning ....


18th June 2019 (Tuesday)      09.00 .... The villages are looking good this
Lovely morning.
morning;  actually they always do regardless of the weather.   We have a ‘bright and breezy’ start to the day.... there’s still a coolness in the wind, but at least it’s a good drying so and I have a washing out!     I’ve been round the villages on the;  Chapel Green to the harbour, then home via the ‘paper shop’.    Distance travelled 5.85 kilometres (3.63 miles).    The ‘plan’ is to visit Jim and do a shopping after breakfast.... then do some work in the afternoon.
16.00    Oh my word .... will my delicate complexion cope with this hot dry air?   I think I need to dig out the sun cream!    And the shorts?   No .... not the shorts.   Yep we have a really nice summer’s day at the Centre of the Universe.... and I have been a busy boy.     I visited Jim as planned.... after I’d been to Leven PO, and Sainsbury’s.    Both the PO and Sainsbury’s were busy... which kind of surprised me because I’d timed
Earlsferry from the harbour.
it to be there at what I thought would be a quiet time.     I got to Leven Beach at 11.30, and was able to spend  half an hour with Jim  before the carers started to bring the Residents in for their lunch.    The Dining Room is used as a sitting room in between meals.     Marcia was visiting Iain so we had a ‘Ferry table’ .... and a good old ‘Ferry blether’.... but there wisnae any ‘secrets’ to divulge.    Jim was not in escape mode today.   
Back home by 12.30, I put all the messages away in their appropriate places.... had a lite lunch then had ‘50’.    My work efforts of yesterday had caught me up .... I was kn ... shattered.    I have done a wee bit of ‘work’ this afternoon, but have the urge to go out and enjoy the sun.

19.30    Instead of going out in the afternoon I enjoyed the sunshine while
Kincraig cliffs.
undercoating the flagpole... and pulling a few weeds.   Tomorrow is forecast to be even warmer and sunnier than today:  sun cream weather.    I’ll go out early and leaving the remainder of the day for morning coffee.... and work.    Work?   Well I might gloss bit of the flagpole.

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...
