Chilly air but lovely morning .....


16th September 2019 (Monday)   06.00 ....  The Eastern sky is
This is what greets me I arrive on the beach.

beginning to lighten and it’s a lovely still morning, albeit still too dark to see much;  in fact I’ve only been as far as the front gate.     We have an autumnal air .... cool with a hint of frost behind it, but there is only a light breeze just now so hardly any wind chill;  nevertheless it’s a wrap up well kind of start to the morning.     In the meantime I am enjoying a cuppa before going to the beach.


08.00     It was nice on the beach but not ‘iggzactly’ warm:  however the pre sunrise sky made it well worth putting up with the cool breeze.     The actual sunrise was bonnie but not spectacular.   ‘M’ has appeared with a very welcome cuppa.

20 minutes before sunrise.


12.00    Well .... ‘M’ and I have been to Leven and the car is booked in to get a new exhaust tomorrow morning.   I’ll be ‘in love’ with my car again;  at the moment I am not.
The weather has been ... mostly overcast I suppose, but at least it’s dry with a nice breeze to dry the washing.     We don’t have a ‘plan’ for the afternoon;  the car is drivable.... but the noise of the exhaust hitting the heat shield is irritating.

21.00    ‘M’ and I have had a quiet/lazy day... mostly sitting in the Hutte, me doing Soduko’s and ‘M’ reading her book.    It has been a nice day, with a grand ‘drying’ wind so the washing dried to ‘no need to iron that’ level;  provided that you fold it up
10 minutes before sunrise.
straight off the line.   I’m learning all the tricks of ‘ousework .... this will release more time for play ... oops working in the garden.

Davie Budd (Painter and Decorator - Anstruther) dropped in today and brought me up to date with all the painting news.   Davie is working on a job in the Royal Burgh.

Tomorrow morning I take the car to the garage to get the exhaust done;  ‘M’ is staying i/c at Ivy.    The weather forecast is good for tomorrow so I’ll take ‘M’ along to visit friends in Pittenweem:   I’ll take the camera and take a few photographs.

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...
