Breezy ....

 

4th September 2020 (Friday)      06.30    It’s a nice enough morning though

Elie harbour.

there is light shower of rain blowing through just now, it looks like being a bright and breezy day mostly.    I’ll go for the paper after this showery spell has passed.

09.30    I’m changing my mind about as often as the Westminster Government does;   I decided to take the car to Elie for the paper (instead of the bike) because I needed milk.... and a couple of rolls.   But forget about that:   When I got back to Ivy I immediately went out on the bike;  I’d noticed that we had an interesting, and busy, sky.... and I like busy skies.     My word I enjoyed myself;  yes it was a bit breezy for me being out on the bike (F4-5), but the roads were quiet.... and there was much going on in the sky all around me.   I’m a happy boy;  in fact I’ll have another cuppa before I finally sort out all the photos I did get;  and there is a few!


17.30    Stage 7 of ‘le Tour’ today more than made up for the “been better watching paint dry Stage 5”;  my word it was exciting today.  Now I need to have a stroll to the beach, or someplace, to calm me down.   It’s been a bonnie but very windy day, with occasional short squally showers:  And Ferry Road has been busy with traffic so the villages look like being busy this weekend.

21.00      Tom and Natalie are back:  I noticed their car was away in the middle of the week, so I thought they had gone back to their other home, like Matthew and Sylvia had to do a few weeks ago.   I thought the Ferry was beginning to empty.   We have a lovely community now, but I have to accept that families have to go back to their other residences on a regular basis.   

The village is busy .... the beach was busy with ‘new’ visitors when I went down early in


the evening.   Although it has been windy, with an occasional short shower now and then, it has been a bonnie day.... and not too cold considering the briskness of the wind.... so folk were out enjoying a walk on the beach.   I believe the discerning holiday maker is choosing to holiday at home, in the UK, rather than go to Spain, Portugal or the Mediterranean islands etc. during this COVID crisis... and we are benefiting from that.

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...
