Cold wind off the sea ....

20th March 2022 (Sunday)    08.00 .... There’s a cold wind off the North Sea so


it’s ‘wrap up well’ day;  I won’t be going far on the bike this morning.   The paper has been picked up and the harbour given a quick visit.... I’m thinkin’ I’ll hover around Ivy most of the day.... unless the wind eases and the temperature rockets up to 8C.   I don’t like wind with East in it.


14.00    My morning began with a migraine and it has taken until now to shake that off;   I’ve enjoyed a lazy morning cleaning the bike, doing Soduko’s, reading the newspaper and lying low in the Hutte.    It’s a bonnie day but I won’t go out on the bike: Tomorrow is going to be less windy.. so it should feel warmer.  

 I’ve been taking photos of Blob and his wife ... 'Doris'; it looks like they are setting up home in the Ivy bush... the one I have been seriously pruning.   The pruning be on hold for the next few weeks.    I’m going to have a cuppa and scone before doing a wee bit in the garden.... untangling clematis remains from the trellis.


16.30    Untangling the clematis was a tricky job, but it has been done.   Mind you I don’t know what was in the air today but it certainly didn’t agree with my breathing tubes;  even out in the garden.   Most of the time was spent in The Hutte.... where the air didn't bother me so much.   I’ll need to go out for exercise tomorrow morning.










19.00    According to ‘M’ it’s cold in New Zealand.... the temperature being 16C.... and it’s the start of winter in the Southern Hemisphere;  jings I’d settle for 16C for our summer temperature.  ‘M’ lives in North Island....and, where she lives it’s more like sunny Sussex weather than our lovely Scottish stuff.

Well I’m looking for a better day tomorrow;   I’ve enjoyed myself today but frustrated by


not getting out on the bike.   The dry East wind that we had today does nothing for my delicate skin:  luckily the Sunday Magazine is advertising ‘Summer Fridays Cloud Dew, Oil Free Gel Cream’ ... and it’s only £41 for 50 ml.  I’ll order a litre.

There doesn’t seem to be anything for me to watch on the tele so I’m going to sort out the Muircambus Mill stuff I have:  Jimmy and did a lot of pottering around from where the mill dam was, round to where the lade goes under the main road.

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...
