Fresh morning ....


11th July 2020 (Saturday)    05.00 .... We have a ‘bright and breezy’ start to
Elie Kirk tower.

what is forecast to be a bonnie day.    It was 04.15 when I woke up feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed and rarin’ to go so I had a shower and am now enjoying a cuppa before getting the bike out.   I’m just going to potter my way round the villages, picking up the paper on the way round then spend the remainder of the day around Ivy.   Normally I end up having a catnap in The Hutte about 11.00  (to revitalize my weary limbs), before messing around in the garden. ... I won’t be doing very much because the ‘broon’ bucket is nigh on full and it’s it that takes the garden rubbish. 

10.00    I had a great ‘paper run’ this morning;  went up to Chapel Green then meandered to the ‘paper shop’, down to the harbour, out to the lighthouse and home by way of Elie Estate.   It is  lovely morning but the sky is beginning to cloud over (as per forecast).    I am going to make afresh cuppa then go to the Hutte;  I feel a catnap coming on.
Elie granary.
20.00      It has been a beautiful day and I have enjoyed it;  mostly doing Soduko’s and reading a book.    The colour pencils were delivered today so I did a bit of colouring in.    The new pencils are brighter and perfect for the foreground;  the original pencils are ideal for the background.     Colouring in is very relaxing, though I’m sure there are easier books to start with than the one I have.   It’s finicky so challenging;  I’m enjoying it.
At 18.00 I decided that the roads were quiet enough for me to go out on the bike:   big mistake:    The villages are full of cars, and negotiating Liberty, even on a bike, is tricky.   I won’t be taking the bike out at that time again.    I eventually made it to The Terrace and decided that I’d go home via the estate because it would be quieter.     Morning time.... as in early morning time... is my time for biking.

We have a bonnie evening and the forecast is good for the next couple of days:  it will be a ‘crack of dawn’ start tomorrow again.

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...
