25th September 2020 (Friday)   07.00 ....There’s a cool Northeast breeze


(as was forecast for this weekend) but, once the sun rises above the clouds on the horizon, we will have a bonnie day.   I’ll go for the paper later in the morning;  once the air warms up:  I might have a walk to the beach  in a wee while (the time it takes to drink a cup of tea).

09.00    Instead of going to the beach I got the bike out and went for the paper ;  and down to the harbour.    It is a bonnie morning but noticeably cool.   The bike is being charged up and when that is done I’ll pop up to Elie to pick up a prescription, and a ‘morning coffee’ carry out at ‘arbour ‘ouse.

18.00     I enjoyed my ‘morning coffee’...  the coffee aroma when I went into ‘arbour ‘ouse had me drooling ... so I bought an Empire Biscuit to go with the coffee!     In had my coffee at the bus shelter, where I ended up chatting to a gentleman from Edinburgh (who is staying at Monturpie Caravan site) so a very successful, and enjoyable coffee

'COSL Pioneer'.

morning for the ‘boy’.  The gentleman poodled orf to find his wife, I finished my coffee and came home by way of Elie Estate.... stopping to take a few photos and chat to the man who lives of the North Lodge.    I didn’t stop at Ivy when I got back to the ‘Royal Burgh’ choosing to go up to Chapel Green and get nagged at by ‘The Boss’.     I did a token bit of ‘ousework when I finally got back to Ivy.

21.00    I think I may do a spot of work around Ivy tomorrow.  It’s going to be a lovely day.... ‘sunny with a moderate northerly breeze’.... so fairly cool.;  and I have a Tesco delivery coming so I can’t get diverted.    

I’ve had a very ‘happy’ day today, loads of talking ... and even physical exercise:  if you could call pedalling a battery assisted bike ‘physical exercise’.   The highlight of the day was going into ‘arbour ouse to buy my morning coffee .... we (the ‘Troops’) are missing our morning coffee and blether.   The way things are going it will be next summer before things get back to what is regarded as ‘old normal’.   A few good things did come with

Lady golfer with Kincraig cliffs beyond.

the ‘new normal’, .... like more people using bikes, lots of friends, ....and ....  less alcohol related incidents:  If we could incorporate them into the ‘old normal, when it finally does return, some good would have come out of this crisis after all.

‘Must go’ slight flap on.... I need a cuppa before bumbling orf to bed to read my book.

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

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
