Bright and breezy morning ....

16th September 2021 (Thursday)     07.30 .... It’s a lovely morning, and is

John off Elie pier.

forecast to be a bonnie,.... and pleasantly warm, day.  JB had a walk to the beach at sunrise time, while I had a shower and put the kettle on;  the ‘plan is to go out on bikes, about 09.00 and have a run through Elie Estate.

21.30    It did turn out to be a sunny and pleasantly warm day ..... and ‘JB’ and I enjoyed it.     We did Elie Estate, then circumnavigated Kinneuchar, then got back in time to have a cuppa, before going to the harbour at high tide, so that ‘JB’ could do some pier jumps.   Then it was back to Ivy... a hot shower and another cuppa before going to do a wee shopping.   We were going to go to the Deli but there was a queue so we thought we’d go to ‘The Store’:  well that was a big mistake..... it was lunch time for the Waid pupils and most of the school appeared to be making for ‘The Store’;  we abandoned that ‘plan’ and decided to go back home by way of the back road, and go to Colinsburgh for petrol, and to Barnett’s to get pie or some such delicacy for lunch;  plus a few goodies.   That mission was successful.   We’d moored the car up in the ‘Disabled’ bay at Shona’s.... yep .... we had to have an ice cream.    Two tubs bought, we headed for Woodhaven to find a seat to enjoy both view and ice cream.   We did.


Back at Ivy we had a late light lunch;  I went to have a lie down and ‘JB’ did some studying.   I must have been tired ‘cos I slept for an hour and a quarter.

Tomorrow we are going to Leven;   I have an eye test appointment for 09.30.   The ‘Master Plan’ is to have the eye test then go to Sainsbury’s to do the wee shopping we were going to do today, before heading North to Cupar and the Fisher and Donaldson  Fudge Donut Factory.   When we get back home ‘JB’ intends going for a swim;  high tide is at 12.45.    ‘JB’ sets off for home early on Saturday morning, so we’ll probably go into rest mode tomorrow afternoon.

The weather forecast for KY9 tomorrow is;  ‘light cloud with a moderate breeze and the


chance of precipitation’,.... not as bonnie as today, but you never know, we could have some sunny spells in the afternoon.

We’ve had a busy day, however tomorrow will be more of a ‘rest day’.   It will be for me as ‘JB’ is going to be driving.

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...
