Bright and breezy ... the weather i.e.


24th October 2019 (Thursday)     08.00 .... it’s a bright and breezy
Kinneuchar.
morning , but not quite as cold as I thought it would be;  a nice morning for pruning a tree.    'The Boy' has been a lazy boy .... didn’t get out of bed until 07.15.   After checking the weather cams at 06.00  I went back to bed.    I’m feeling reasonably frisky .... but, much in need of a cuppa then breakfast.


12.00    I’ve had morrrrrrning coffee with ‘The Team’, picked up my prescription and the paper, then went to the harbour.... because I thought it wasn’t that cold.   It was cold at the harbour.    On the way up I stopped at The Toft to take a few pictures, which is  where I met Val.   Val lived in South Africa so she was definitely finding it cold.... and so was I by this time, so I grabbed a few photos and went home by way of Kinneuchar.   I was in the car.

Earlsferry and Elie.
The lilac tree has been half pruned (I ran out of space in the broon’ bucket) and the hydrangea has been cut back.   I will finish pruning the lilac tree tomorrow .... after the bucket has been emptied.

 19.00    I’ve had a reasonably productive day;  and even took time out in the afternoon to go up to Chapel Green.    When I was out I noticed that the temperature had dropped considerably so I didn’t go far.... I was on the bike.  It is forecast to be colder tomorrow with sunny intervals and a fresh breeze.   Hmmmm .... if the wind is too fresh it will feel really cold;  perhaps not day for the boy being out on the bike.


There’s a hole been dug outside electricity substation on Ferry Road;  I don’t know
Chapel Green.
what they are doing but it looks like they are settling in for a few days.   If it isn’t too cold tomorrow it could be an interesting hole to have a peek into.
I’m going spend the remainder of the evening on the computer;  it’s that kind of evening .... and I feel productive.    I don’t know what I’ll do tomorrow;  it should be a bonnie day albeit colder so I might work in the garden.... out of the wind.   The again I could go somewhere in the car for a change of scenery.    I’ll make my mind up after morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee.

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...
