Glorious morrrrrrrrrrning ....

22nd June 2021 (Tuesday)     09.30 .... My word;  it’s a cracker o’ a  mornin’. 


 I went just after 06.00; I took my first photograph at 06.15 and the last one at 08.11 with a few in between.    I did the full circuit this morning, Chapel Green, Elie Estate, the harbour then home by way of The Terrace, South Street and the Breakwater.   Yes .... I enjoyed myself... and I was hungry by the time I was back at Ivy.   It’s a glorious morning for going out;  I imagine the Coastal Path and beach will be busy today.   I have still to get a paper, so I might venture out about lunch time.





19.30    Well.... as was forecast, it has been a gorgeous day, though the cool onshore breeze took the edge of the temperature in the afternoon.   Actually it was warmer, when I was out at 06.30.   I met a few joggers out at that time, enjoying a balmy mornin;  the best time of the day.

Scotland are playing Croatia this evening, kickoff is at 20.00:  though there is pre-match discussion on an hour before that.... in fact the Scotland v Croatia game is on (the TV) from 19.00 to 22.35.   Once you see one pre-match discussion you’ve seen them all.... only the names are different.    It’s all to do creating the ‘at the match’ atmosphere, in ‘hospitality’ venues, with hopeful punters and a big TV screen.    Not a bad idea, with the restrictions we have at present.

Quiet corner o' Kinneuchar loch.

I have eventually managed to sort out the photographs I took this morning;  in between doing other things.   My ‘work’ efforts today have been, quite frankly,... minimal.   The weeds are fighting back;  I damaged a muscle pulling a weed (big one) yesterday and this has restricted my efforts today:  today I only pulled wee weeds, and did a couple of Soduko’s.

22.30    We (Scotland) were beaten 3 – 1 by Croatia.... so that’s us out of the ‘Euro’s’;  but.... it was exciting having ‘hope’ again.   We tried hard, but the Croats buzzed around the pitch like a swarm o’ wasps on a mission, and they had Modric (a thinking player).   Scotland has potential though;   this is definitely the best Scottish Team we’ve had for years..... bring on the next ‘biggie’.... whenever that is.   England are in the last 16 (of the Euros).... and I think Wales could still qualify.    ‘Le Tour’ starts on Saturday so that will be my sport for the next three weeks, with an occasional look at the football.

It’s going to be cloudy with the chance of precipitation tomorrow;   i.e. light showers.


The weeds will love 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...
