Frisky boy ....


14th October 2019 (Monday)     09.30 ....  we have a cracker of a start to
Sunrise time!
the day;   there’s only a light breeze with sunny spells.   It’s a morning for doing things and I am feeling fresh and frisky. (I can’t actually do frisky but I like the feeling!)   The beach was lovely, and, as far as I could see, Carol and I had it to ourselves.   There was never going to be a spectacular sunrise, a bank of low cloud would prevent that, but the sky had me in a state of excitement nonetheless.   I am easily excited.   I’d better go and put the kettle ‘on’:  I’m hungry?    Oops .... forgot to have breakfast.   Slight ‘flap on’ now.


19.00    It has been a glorious day and I have enjoyed it.    Had ‘morning coffee’ in ‘arbour ‘ouse with ‘The Troops’, and bought the paper.   We saw a crane being driven past when having our coffee and sussed out that it was going to the harbour to ‘crane out’ the boats.   It had been too windy at the weekend.  

Balcarres Crag from Kinneuchar.
I went home and had a bit of lunch then got the bike out;  it was a really good day for biking.... sunny and warm with hardly a breath of wind.   Having said all that I only did ‘The Grand Tour’ plus a wee bit, ....  to Kinneuchar village.   On the way through the estate I saw wheel tracks that looked like they might have been made by ‘Bronto’ the rhododendron eating ‘monster’.   However the tracks disappeared up towards the farm so I’m not sure if it was.   There’s certainly plenty ‘food’ for it.   There must have been a lot of rain last night because the road through the estate was really wet and muddy.   The wheels of the bike were cleaned by biking through one of the puddles I came across on the main road.

There’s been a fair amount of ‘work’ done today and I can say that I am tired, having
Kinneuchar Mill farmhouse.
enjoyed a good mixture of activities.    It will be a really early night in bed tonight.    The book I’m reading is a strange one... but I found out last night that it’s the last one of a trilogy;  I’d be better to stop reading it and try to find the first two.   In the meantime I’ll read on and see if I can make sense of it.
There’s a lot of ‘plans’ in my head needing to be implemented;  it will depend on the mood I’m in tomorrow as to which one I will follow.   At some point I must visit ‘Jimbo’... either tomorrow or Wednesday.

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...
