Beautiful morrrrrrrning ....

5th June 2021 (Saturday)   10.30 .... I had another braw ‘paper run’ this

Elie Ness lighthouse....with Cadillac in the foreground.

morning.... and the sun was warm at that time.    I did the same route as yesterday anti clockwise;  things look ‘different’ going the other way.    The wind had freshened by the time I got back to Ivy and there are a few fluffy clouds beginning to appear..... we might have some bonnie clouds by evening time.   I have sorted a few of this morning’s photographs, the remainder will be done later;  right now it’s time for a cuppa and a cat ... Soduko, in The Hutte.



16.30    It has been a ‘sunny and warm’ day;  too hot to work in the garden.    I was heading towards a really ‘lazy day;  luckily Shona came down from Barnyards (on her bike), so we had a cuppa and a lot of chatting as we caught up with each other’s ‘news’.    At one point we had to abandon The Hutte as it was too hot, even with the door and vents open.   Shona is away home so I am thinking of having a run up to Chapel Green.... before putting the bike battery on charge for tomorrow.   I might get a wee bit o’ tidying up done in the garden in the evening .... when the air is cooler.    It was 21C in the shade in the middle of the afternoon.  

The East end of Elie High Street.

20.00    Instead of tiring myself out with working in the garden.... I went up to Chapel Green to contemplate.    Vicky Salvage and her husband (St Monans) came round, walking their dog, and stopped to have chat:  mostly about the changes that are happening around the East Neuk.   The whole of the East Neuk is busy with holiday makers, houses changing hands at exorbitant prices.... and general ‘change’ all round.    There’s no doubt that the year of the COVID pandemic will go down as a time of major change, around the East Neuk.  However, this has been a good day regarding conversation for me;  things are becoming more ‘normal’ as far as that goes.

The bike battery is charging up just now, ready for a wee explore somewhere tomorrow:  the weather forecast is good.   I’ll go out later in the morning.... the roads are usually quieter on a Sunday.

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...
