Bright and breezy (so is the weather) .....

18th April 2022 (Monday)     07.30 ....I’m feeling ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’


this morning, but won’t go out on the bike until later;  after the sun has driven off the early morning clouds.   There’s a brisk westerly breeze, and it’s going to be reasonably warm, so I’ll make for Kinneuchar....then home via Elie Estate. 

09.30    I’m glad that I took the car to go for the paper (forgot the paper);  we have some heavy showers around, and I drove through one at Balbuthie.... on the way home from the harbour.   The ‘plan’ was to pick up the paper on the way home from the harbour but I forgot that and went home by Kinneuchar.   I’ll get the paper when I’m out on the bike.   The showers are supposed to move away by late morrrrrrrning.

19.30    We’ve had bonnie day;  and I never went out on the bike:  what I did do was take the car for a decent run to charge up the battery.   The furthest it has been in the last six months is Anstruther or Leven.   Today I went to Crail – then the ‘back road’ to Higham


Toll – and home via Balcarres Estate and Colinsburgh, where I fuelled up the car.   I had a few camera stops;  the tide was out so I didn’t go down to Crail, Harbour, but went half way down the ‘Hen’s Ladder’ to get a few photos.   Crail High Street was busy....  with cars and vans all over the place.... it made me think of Elie and Earlsferry.  I was glad to get on to the Higham Toll road.

 



22.00    Tomorrow morning I’m going to the Randolph Wemyss for the COVID booster.... and I’ll do some shopping in Leven.   On Wednesday I have an appointment at the surgery (Blood Test);  then the rest of the week is ‘free’.  Tomorrow is going to be ‘sunny with a gentle breeze’ so I’ll go out on the bike after lunch.

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...
