Bonnie morning ....


3rd December 2019 (Tuesday)     09.00 .... I had the beach to myself this
Elie Bay.
bonnie morning;   there’s clouds about and it’s breezy (from the West) but not cold.... it’s not a ‘wall to wall’ bloo sky morning, but it’s braw.     I met two ‘lovely girls’ on the way home;  Pat and Dora going for the paper:  apart from us the village seemed sleepy, and content even.   Must ‘go’ ... slight flap on this morning I need to go to Leven.... again.   Forgot to go to the bank yesterday.


18.30    I have finally caught up with all the stuff I ought to have done yesterday;  and visited Jim after I was finished.   Jim was dozing at a table when I got there but after I shook the bag containing the goodies he quickly woke up.   I made us a cuppa, but there was only one tea bag so the tea was insipid to say the least.    I must remember to put a few tea bags in the car;  I don’t think the Care Home tea bags are very strong;  not as strong as ‘Yorkshire’ tea bags that’s for sure.

It looks like the car will have to remain dirty as the Leven car wash appears to be ‘out of action’;  at least it has been both times I have been there.   I’ll try later in the week.
The whole of my morning was spent in Leven so I took time out in the afternoon and went up to wander round Chapel Green round about sunset time.   I had the tripod etc in the car but it was too cold to set it all up so I ended up using the monopod.... and moving to the Toft for the actual sunset.

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...
