Bonnie morrrrrrrrrning .....

31st May 2021 (Monday)    06.00 .... we have another balmy morning;  it’s


 quiet, bright, sunny and warm,  with only a light breeze (E).    I see haar/fog in most of the Fife weather cams but we are clear at the moment;   I’ll go out on the bike after a cuppa.

09.30     It’s a crackin’ morning;   however, the haar is moving in off the sea, and the breeze has freshened since I was out .... so it’s beginning to feel cooler, but it should be a nice enough day.    I will stay around Ivy and do a spot of tidying up around the garden:  and.... although not a great ‘drying day’ I have a small washing on the line .... it should dry by evening time.   I have been a reasonably busy boy.   On the ‘paper run’ I did the villages and Elie Estate so I am a tired boy .... I still have few photos to ‘play’ with, but I’ll sort them after ‘morning coffee’ and a cat-nap.


21.00    ‘Ne’er cast a cloot, till May is oot’ is an auld saying:  well, May is oot but I won’t be ‘castin’ a cloot’ until the wind stops comin’ off the North Sea.   This has been another bonnie day that has been spoiled by the onshore breeze:  that said, it was warm in Ivy garden.   I actually went out on the bike in the afternoon but only went as far as Kinneuchar, then up to Chapel Green.   Funny thing is;  when I go out at 06.00, there’s nae wind and I can feel the heat from the sun;  and .... I have no problem with asthma.   That, the asthma, kicks in about 11.00 for some reason.... probably when the wind freshens and the air is colder.

There’s some rubbish that I want to take to the re-cycling Depot, but I think you have still to book a time so I’ll just use the ‘bloo’ bucket for a few weeks until I get rid of the rubbish.   I haven’t been to ‘the dump’ since before the first lockdown.   

I have a fully charged battery on the bike but I will only be out first thing, as Iain is coming down, and I want to do some stuff in the garden.  

I am tired tonight;  it must be the weather because I haven’t done very much.   Tomorrow


might end up being a ‘rest’ day.   The weather is going to be much like it was today....with  the warmest weather being away from the East coast.   I have nae real ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  get up and out early to go for the paper and take a few photographs, then potter about for the rest of the day.

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...
