Crackin' mornin' ....

19th April 2022 (Tuesday)      08.30 ....It’s a magical Elie and Earlsferry


morning;  I’d go out on the bike if I wasn’t going for the booster jab.  (if I went out on the bike I’d promptly forget about the ‘jab’).   The weather  forecast is good for the whole day so I should get out in the afternoon.    I’ll take a few shots of Methil when I’m at the Randolph Wemyss.   Jim and I recorded a number of churches along there but, apart from the docks, I’ve never looked at ‘Methil’ through the lens of the camera.   I’ll see how I feel after the ‘jab’;  might need to find a coffee stop.   In fact I'll take a mug of my own 'Supreme Quality' with me.   The only coffee stop I know in Methil is the Heritage Centre and I don't think it will be 'Open' today.


16.30    I had a good trip to the Randolph Wemyss:  I actually arrived 20 minutes early but being early didn’t make any difference and I was ‘boosted’, and resting in a waiting room for 5 minutes before bumbling my way to the car.... as long as I didn’t drive until 15 minutes after the ‘jab’.   I sat in the car 10 minutes (it took me 5 minutes to get back to the car... so I didn’t drive until 20+ minutes after the jab) drinking my tea, before bumbling down to Sainsbury’s to do a shopping .... and  back in Ivy by 12.30.   I have lunch, sat down to watch something on the tele and ... yep fell asleep.   I’m going to go out on the bike after this update;  probably just ‘roond the villages’.   I’ve had no post jab effects so far.

20.30    Feeling frolicsome I went to Chapel Green on the bike, then up to North Lodge (Elie Estate), through the estate and home by way of The Terrace and South Street.   Oh.... the estate road is off limits for the next three days as they are doing ‘deer management’. 

I have an appointment with Laurie (Nurse) tomorrow followed by the ‘istory Society


coffee morrrrrning at the Pav.  The weather forecast is good for tomorrow but what wind there is, is going to be orf the sea.... so it could be cool on the beach.   Easterly winds dinnae agree with me so I’ll probably potter around Ivy; there’s plenty to do in the garden.... and it’s sheltered from easterly breezes.

Although I don’t feel any after effects of ‘the jab’ I’m going to have an early night in bed.

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...
