Calm morning ....

5th December 2021 (Sunday)   10.00 .... It was low tide when I was on the


beach so I ventured all the way out to the edge of the tide.    There was never going to be a visible sunrise, but there was a bonnie ‘light’ about and an interesting sky;  I enjoyed myself.   It was warmer than I expected it to be.... and the beach was busy considering the time.   We should have sunny spells later;   I might take a walk down to have a seat in the sun, with a mug of coffee.


19.00    The clouds broke up by mid morning to give us a bonnie day;  I thought about going out on the bike but decided to keep going with the cards.   The overseas ones have been done, so I’ll take a trip to Anstruther to post them tomorrow.  

I decided to have a break in the afternoon, and set out for the bottle bank at Woodhaven; when I got to The Toft (I was contemplating going to the harbour) the sun was low in the sky, with only about 20 minutes to go until sunset time so I moored up the car, and


enjoyed a quiet 20 minutes, or so, waiting for the Western horizon coming up to cover the sun.   It wasn’t a spectacular sunset but it was a bonnie peaceful one.    I was talking to a lassie who had been out on her bike for a run on her bike.... she did the St Andrews, Crail, then back to Elie circuit.   That was one of my training runs: another being Cupar, Perth, Dundee then home via St Andrews and Crail.    I was fit in those days.... we all were.    Oh .... I never got to the bottle bank.

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...
