Frisky wind ....


8th October 2019 (Tuesday) .... Day No 281 of this year.... that means there are only 84 days remaining in 2019!

08.00    My word;  I don’t know if the flu jab acts like a sleepin’ pill but I certainly
The harbour at 09.00.
slept well last night.   I didn’t waken up until 07.30..... feeling as frisky as a bag o’ (fat) ferrets.   Having missed the sunrise I had to check the weather cams to see what I had missed;  it wasn’t a spectacular sunrise so I can enjoy my first cuppa of the morning.
We have a bright and breezy morning with clouds scuttling over on a F4 – 5 Westerly that is forecast to increase to F7 - 8 in the middle of the day.   There could be a few showers later in the afternoon.   It’s a grand day doing Soduko’s.... and working on the computer.   

10.00    It is breezy;  going by the white tops on the water it must be F6 – 7,  but it’s not a sharp wind.   I’ve been for the paper, and had a run down to the harbour (in the car) then home by Balbuthie Loan.   I don’t think I’ll be out on the bike today;  unless the
Kinneuchar.
wind moderates.    ‘Harbour House is closed on Tuesdays now so I’m going to have to make do with a ‘coffee bag’.... it's not easy bein' me.   And I have a lot to do today so I’d better get a move on.

 17.00    The wind is still about Force 6 and we have more clouds around, but apart from the wind, it has been a bonnie enough day.... and it isn’t cauld.   I took a break (from work) and went for a run up to Balcarres in the car and had a walk through the Woodland Garden.    You can see that autumn is with us, with decaying leaves and stuff all around.    It will be a couple of weeks yet before we see the trees ‘wearing’ their best autumn colours.... if the wind doesn’t strip them of their leaves first.   I’m beginning to feel hungry.

  19.00     It has been raining and it is colder;  however I think it is going to be a
Balcarres Estate.
bonnier day tomorrow.... and not quite as windy.   I don’t have any plans, but Harbour House will be ‘open’ for morning coffee.... it could even be a day for the bike.    I don’t seem to have any after effects from the flu jab other than being tired:  the intention is to get up and out early as per usual tomorrow.

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...
