Lovely crisp morning .....


14th April 2020 (Tuesday)    07.30 ....  It’s a lovely morning but there was a
Social distance chatting.
touch of frost at sunrise time....  however the air will soon warm up now that the sun is getting higher;  I’ll get out on the bike later.   The ‘Paper Shop’ was busy this morning but that was because I was later going out having put a washing in the machine.   Now I’m ready for breakfast.

15.30    I’ve been busy today.... having hung out a washing, stripped and made the bed and then washed and hung out the bedding.    Once I’d done all that I sat down in front of the tele to watch a film (on the ‘Oldies Channel’)  and promptly fell sound asleep.   In between all that I finally managed to place an online order with Tesco’s (a practice one to see if I could do it) which is being delivered tomorrow afternoon.   It will be like Christmas in Ivy
The beach this afternoon.
tomorrow afternoon because I’ve forgotten what is on the order ....I could look it up but won’t ‘cos I’m now looking forward to surprising myself.
The weather has been cloudier than expected but at least it is warmer:   I’m going out on the bike after a mid afternoon cuppa.


21.00    My word I am tired tonight and my knee is sair;   it doesn’t like me stripping the bed... I must twist it when doing that job.     I did find time to go to the beach then out on the bike;   I guess that didn’t help the knee either.    Anyway I enjoyed  a short potter on the beach then up to Elie Estate on the bike.   The air was cooler than I’d hoped but I was well wrapped up.   It’s good to meet folk  exercising and a friendly “hello” and wave is always cheering.

It’s Calum’s funeral on Thursday and the Elie Fayre Day Group has suggested a way
.... exercise time.
that we can show our support for Cath and Ian (Elie Paper Shop) on this day;  because we  can’t be with Ian and Cath for the funeral service (due to the current restrictions):   but we can “light a candle for Calum” on Thursday (any time) to show our support and love for such a lovely couple on what will be the saddest of days for them.   Photographs of lit candles can be posted on the Elie and Earlsferry Photos FB page.
Tomorrow’s weather forecast for KY9 is to be sunnier than today and slightly warmer:  I’ll take the bike for the papers and have a run round the villages first thing.

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

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 time to spare   Janice was dropped off near a shopping centre, and Michael went wi
