Overcast and warm ....

24th July 2021 (Saturday)     07.00 ....   It’s another balmy, misty and warm

Exploring the 'Crookit Skellie' - Earlsferry.

morning with us, on the East coast, depending on the sun burning off the mist to give us a sunny afternoon;  whereas, away from the East coast, it is going to be sunny and hot (too hot) all day.   I haven’t been further than the front gate;  from which point I looked up Ferry Road, doon Ferry Road, and .... decided to have another cuppa.   It’s the weekend, so the villages will be extra busy.   Myra has invited ‘the Troops’ for morning coffee so I’ll do a bit of work, before biking up to Myra’s, to enjoy morrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee and ‘a sharing of village news’ at ‘No 3’. 

I think you might find this interesting.... Cycling in Holland – BBC News feature.

10.00   I’ve been keeping an eye on the men’s Olympics Road Race (Cycling)... before watching the final 25 kilometres.   The race, 220 kilometres, was in gruelling, humid and hot conditions:  Richard Carapaz (Ecuador) won Gold, with Silver and Bronze going to a photo finish between Wout Van Ert(Belgium), and Tadej Pogacar (Slovenia).  Exciting stuff.    The Women’s Road race is tomorrow (05.00). Time Trial’s are on Wednesday.   05.00 is a handy time on the TV for me.   I’ll try to watch some of the athletics too... especially the longer distance races.

The ‘boy’ (that’s me) has also been working....  so I am well ready for, and looking forward to morrrrrrrning coffee at Myra’s.

'Sea Queen' - the St Monans skiff.

16.30   I had an enjoyable hour and a half at Myra’s, for morrrrrrrning coffee (except I had tea);  the tea was excellent and the company outstanding.   I talked to much..... but then I always do:  I hope to calm down after I get used to mixing with crowds again.   I met Alison and Georgina, two of Myra’s friends, so there was a lot to talk about.    Since then I have been pottering about in the bedroom.   I extended my feather duster so that I didn’t need to use the steps to do the cornice... and stuff.    I’ll dust the television corner after this update.

As promised (by the weather forecasters) we have a sunny and hot afternoon;  too hot for me to be out in anyway, but I have seen plenty folk making for the beach.... I imagine it, the beach, will be busy.

20.30   It’s a beautiful evening;  and tomorrow is going to be another bonnie day .... with

Hydrangea.

the sun breaking through earlier according to the forecasters.   That’s good .... ‘cos I have a washing to hang out.   Janice and Michael’s  bedroom is nearly finished so I might take some ‘time out’ and have a run round the villages.

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...
