Misty start to the day....

22nd August 2021 (Sunday)   09.30 .... We had a bonnie start to the morning,


but the fog has rolled in again.... so .... it’s a lovely, albeit misty, morning now.    I went to ‘The Store’ to do a shopping.... and introduced myself to John McKenzie, who I have seen in the shop but only realised last week who the gentleman was.   John likes to get the shopping done early (as I do), before the shop gets busy.   We caught up with each other’s ‘news’, before rattling round ‘the Store’ to do the shopping.

Back in The Ferry I unloaded the car, and had a wander to the beach after parking it.   At that time (07.50) the sun had broken through the fog and we had a really atmospheric morning.   I could see the fog wasn’t far away as, by the time I was coming off the beach, it was starting to hide the sun again.   The sun should eventually win the battle, to give us ‘sunny spells’ by the afternoon.


11.00   Everybody I met this morning, when I went for the paper, has been asking where I got the black eye;  I thought it was just one of those red eyes things.   When I got back to Ivy and had a look in the mirror....it’s a proper black eye.   It was itchy for a wee while and I might have rubbed it, but I can’t remember it being sore.    Anyway I have a ‘keeker’ .... I’ll need to get the sun glasses out.


13.30    We have a gorgeous afternoon;  alas, the bike battery in being charged  so I can’t go out just now.   While I wait for the battery to fully charge, I’ll have a cuppa and do a Soduko in ‘The Hutte’.... after a busy morning.   

16.00    Heather and Alistair dropped in for a chat ....they were out for a walk after spending the morning in the garden.   We had a cuppa and a catch up chat, before they set off for Carol’s Ice Cream shop.  

I have ordered a pair of 'motor cycle padded sun glasses for when I’m out on the bike.    

I have a feeling that the wind might have something to do with the black eye I have.   On a battery assisted bike the wind (especially an East wind) does bother the eyes.    I didn’t go for an expensive name and fancy box;   all I want is something to keep the wind out of my eyes when the cold weather comes.





19.30   I've been watching the final round of the Women’s Open, played over Carnoustie Links.    Anna Nordqvist (Sweden) won with -12.... with Louise Duncan  (Scotland) winning the Smyth Salver for the best placed amateur on -7.

Tomorrow is going to be another lovely day.... with ‘light cloud and a gentle breeze’;   a good day for work and play.

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...
