Crackin' mornin'....


20th September 2019 (Friday)     08.30 .... it is a cracker of a morning; 
Early morning sky over Elie bay.
 the start of what is forecast to be a bonnie day.    I went to the beach to see the sunrise;  it was well worth the effort.    The beach was quiet, with only myself, a couple of dog walkers (Frances being one of them) and the local heron enjoying the scene.
The ‘plan’ is to do the bedding, bike up for morning coffee at Harbour House then see how the mood takes me:   I’m feeling frisky.  



21.00   I could get used to this weather;  in fact I think I may have got a touch of sunburn.     I’ve been out on the bike three times .... Elie twice, the estate and Chapel Green once.   In between times I got the bedding out on the line;  the sheets will have to go out again tomorrow as they aren’t totally dry.   I suppose I could iron them dry.  
Midday.
I’m missing ‘M’ so have to keep myself occupied.

Graham and Elizabeth came round in the afternoon delivering ‘Toll Green Hall Initiative’ forms;  it’s about finding out how much support there is re purchasing the hall for the community.    The Church of Scotland is in the process of ‘downsizing’ it’s buildings portfolio!   The necessity for this has been brought about by the congregations, in most churches, being too small to support the upkeep of a church.   The wee hall would be a good buy for the villages;  it isn’t huge and maintenance should be fairly easily done by the community.    Lesley and I taped and painted the TGH about 15 years or so ago.

Tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day but there will be a cool easterly breeze.
Kinneuchar loch.
    I will hang out the sheets again then go out on the bike;  got to enjoy this weather when we have it.   I don’t have a ‘plan’.    Myra is going away on a Glenton holiday tomorrow so Geoff and will be leaderless for the next week.   It’s a good holiday company to use;  Myra gets picked up at the door at 05.00.   It’s fly/coach tour of Tuscany.

I’m going spend the remainder of the evening typing yesterday’s research notes.   First I must make myself a cuppa.

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...
