Fresh an frisky .... (so am I)

27th December 2020 (Sunday)      07.30 .... The sky is clear (I can see the


stars), it’s breezy but nothing like it was yesterday;  and it’s going to be sunny but cool.    But not as cool as it’s going to be tonight and tomorrow, when snow and ice is mentioned in the forecast for our area.    I should get the bike out sometime today but I’ll take the car to get the paper and visit the harbour.

10.30    It’s breezy right .... with occasional spits and spots o’ rain, but nice enough if you’re well wrapped up.   The paper has been bought and the harbour checked;  it’s cauld doon there.   Then again it always is.    There was an interesting sky at sunrise time;  it was well ‘recorded’.    It’s about morrrrrrrning coffee time and I am ready for it.    Enjoy your day.... even Tier 4 can be reasonably enjoyable, in a different way from ‘normal’.   Take care and stay safe.

21.30    I had planned to go out on the bike but it was too cauld;  so I went for a walk at sunset time, up to the Pony field.  It wisnae very warm up there but it was a wee change o’ scene.    I got a few photos of the sun setting, with The Ferry in the foreground so I got back to Ivy.... cauld .. but happy.    The kettle was rapidly set to the ‘on’ position.


This has been a lazy day and, apart from going for the paper in the morrrrning then up to the Pony Field at sunset, I have been in Ivy, with an occasional foray out to the garden to feed ‘Blob’.  Susan came round so I had someone to talk too albeit briefly.   Susan brought round a portion of salmon for me and my word,  it was absolutely scrumptious.    When I do salmon it is always steamed.... this was something else.   Perhaps I should experiment a bit more in the kitchen.

What is my ‘plan’ for tomorrow?    Actually I haven’t really thought about it.    Christmas is past and the New Year celebrations muted to say the least.   However I’m

Earlsferry at sunset.

sure that we are all looking forward to 2021 and the hope that comes with it.    The biggest celebrations will happen once the COVID virus is well and truly on the wane.  

I’m orf to have a mug of ‘orlicks and see if I can find something to watch on the TV.

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...
