Gorgeous morning ....


26th October 2019 (Saturday)     09.00 .... As soon as I met Marcia and
Lovely morning.
Kirsty with the dogs I just knew that we were going to have a bonnier day;   regardless of the weather.     However the weather is also much brighter than it was yesterday  so I have had a really good start to my day.;  and I was feeling  ‘down’ when I left Ivy;  now I feel frolicsome.   I’ll get the bike out after breakfast ... and watching the rugby.....it’s that kind of day now.   

13.30    I had a trip out on the bike up to Kinneuchar then home by way of Elie Estate;  it was enjoyable but cold on the lugs.   It’s a bonnie day but there is a chilly wind.... this would have been a better day to do the washing.   The bike is being charged up as I type;   I want a full battery for tomorrow in case the weather is amenable to my going for a longer run.... probably Balcarres.   I’m going to do a Soduko and have a cuppa in the Hutte... and most likely fall asleep.

Kinneuchar this afternoon - well a wee bit of the village.
16.00    I didn’t .... fall asleep that is, but I did do a Soduko .... and, I know this will be hard to believe, I also did a bit of gardening.  Only, in a sheltered corner, because I can tell you that the wind is cold .... as in cauld cauld!   That means the lilac tree is still ‘stood staunin’ half ‘prooned’ because it is not sheltered.   I have come to the conclusion that I need to spend more time in the garden;  but that would mean less time playing... er exercising.  It’s a balancing act;  I feel quite dizzy .... at the thought of ‘work’.

Watching the rugby wasn’t the uplift that I needed this morning;  I wanted New Zealand to win.  Oh well all my English friends will be ecstatic; meanwhile I’ll have to stop watching to the BBC TV News for the next couple of years.    Oops ... no it was a well earned win.... and should stop us having to suffer the perpetual analysis of what's going to 'appen next with Brexit.
20.00    My word I have had a successful day, both at work (on the computer) and
Sunset time.
play;  actually it has been a really bonnie day, though cauld in the wind.    I went to the beach at sunset time and was pleasantly surprised to see so many people out walking;  it was a bonnie evening and everyone looked well wrapped up:  I know that I was.... apart from one of my hands, the one that operates the buttons on the camera.  

The forecast is good for the next couple of days.... sunny and cold.    There’s snow up in the Cairngorms so I guess winter has arrived.   The Lomonds (our nearest hills) won’t get snow until much later in the season;  I hope.

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...
