Bright, breezy and cold ....

9th February 2022 (Wednesday)     09.00 .... It’s a bonnie morning.... but


cold.   It’s actually a good drying day, so I have a washing out on the line.   The wind is forecast to freshen in the afternoon.

I went to the beach to see the sunrise... although the conditions weren’t there to give us one of those stunning sunrises;  it was much quieter and peaceful looking.   A group of swimmers went into the water, from the Breakwater, my word... I felt cold, and I was sheltering in my cosy nook at the edge of the dunes. 

18.30    It hasn’t been a perfect drying day after all;  we caught the edge of a couple of showers.... fortunately I saw the first shower coming over and I brought it in.    It was nigh on dry.


This has been a ‘lazy’ day for me.    I browsed photos, to send to Graham.... and to Nicola, so that kept me busy for a while.   Then there was sped skating from the Winter Olympics;  even if it has been a ‘lazy’ day I have enjoyed myself.... and I’ll be going on a diet as soon as the Olympics are finished.    

21.00     The St Monans kirk stroll was this morning, and I had planned to go for the before walk blether.... but once again I got engrossed sorting out this morning’s photos and I never went to St Monans today at all.    The wind freshened and it was cold so I settled down in front of the tele and enjoyed the Olympics.  

 It’s going to be cold tonight.... and even colder tomorrow night:  more like the temperatures we should have at this time of year;  and I am not keen on cold spells.   I never even went to Elie for the paper today.... even in the car, and it was too cold and windy for the bike.

We have a frisky wind a just now.... and it is going to get friskier overnight;  up to F8 or


9 by morning.   Hmmm....  that means my visit to the beach tomorrow morning might be off.    That said..... once (and if) I reach the ‘nook’ it can be reasonably sheltered;  even in a gale.    I’ll see how brave I feel.

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...
