Quiet morning .....

8th December 2021 (Wednesday)      07.30 .... The wind has moderated, so


we have a peaceful morning as far as that goes;  but I can hear waves rolling onto the beach.  It will be interesting to see the changes down there.   Low tide is at 11.10.... sunrise at 08.32.

13.00    I was wondering if Storm Barra had changed the beach;  you know moved heaps of sand around, but there doesn’t seem to be any change.   I was also pleasantly surprised by the sunrise sky this morning:    I went down there expecting much greyness, but we had a sky that was interesting and colourful.   

Back at Ivy I had a quick browse through this morning’s photograph at breakfast time;  then had a quick trip to Leven.    I cannot get over how busy the roads are nowadays;  huge lorries delivering stuff to various places in the East Neuk..... building materials and food.    I got everything I went to Leven for... and did a small shopping in Sainsbury’s.      My morning has been full of surprises;   Sainsbury’s was busy... and that was in the middle of the morning.


With the weather being so pleasant;  I got the bike out and had a run up to Chapel Green.   It’s actually pleasantly ‘warm’ out, but the temperature is starting to drop now, so I am ‘moored up’ for the remainder of the day. 

17.30    The next couple of days look like being good drying days  ... oops .... I meant play days;    Friday looks like being the bonnier of the two but also the cooler. 

Ye Gods.... I have had a lazy afternoon.    The hectic (by my standards) morning must have caught up with me;  I can now fall asleep, in front of the tele, without even switching it ‘on’.   Jings.... I can’t look forward to the ‘repeats’, because I don’t know what I’ve missed.   Anyway forget aw that;  I woke up, about an hour ago, saw that it daylight and thought  I’d missed sunrise.   That reminds me, I have a load of photographs to play with this evening.

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...
