Breezy .....

12th May 2022 (Thursday)    07.00 ....I did see patches of blue in the sky, but

Stella and Alex - stonemasons.

the forecast is for KY9 to be cloudy all day and cooler;  having said that the ‘bloo’ patches are encouraging and sunny spells could drift over now and again.   I’ll bike up to Chapel Green later in the morning, dropping in to see Heather and Alistair on the way.   I’m thinking of going to Leven to do a wee bit shopping;  I like Somerset honey and ‘The Store’ doesn’t stock it... but Sainsbury’s does.      Must ‘go’ slight flap on now..... I’ve had breakfast etc.... now I need another cuppa before making my mind up whether to go to Leven or not.

10.00    It’s a bonnie day now... and I’ve been to Leven so the remainder of the day is ‘play time’: after I put the messages away.   Shopping is noticeably more costly.... but I got the honey I wanted,.... and my usual shopping.  It was a good time to go shopping as the shop was quiet, so it didn’t take long to bumble round.   I need a cuppa before getting the bike out.


18.30    I so nearly visited Heather for morning coffee;   on the way down from Chapel Green I went down Glovers Wynd, intending to go in via the garden...but I couldn’t get the gate to open so I went back up Glovers Wynd meaning to go in at the top gate;  and that’s where it all went wrong.   I spoke to a visitor for a minute, turned round after our chat, saw the new 'Four Winds’ and  started to take photos of the progress.   And that’s all it takes for me to be diverted;  I took off for Elie Estate, all thoughts of coffee having dropped into some corner of the auld brain.   I enjoyed my trip through Elie Estate and got back to Ivy in time for lunch.   It was now that I remembered my missed ‘morrrrrning coffee’....it was a really nearly ‘nearly’    Sorry aboot that Heather.

I’ve had a lazy afternoon (after a busy morning) and I’ll be in bed early tonight ‘cos I don’t think I have been so tired for a long time.... and that’s after a catnap this afternoon. 

20.30    ‘M’ (New Zealand) is back on Skype after having visitors for the past week;  she

Toll Green - Elie.

sounds happy (I couldn’t see her ‘cos she didn’t have the camera ‘on’).   Colin and Sue (son and partner) are still there so ‘M’ is being ‘waited on’ .... and enjoying the attention.

I see we’ve had a shower o’ rain (I’ve been putting out the green bucket);  I think it should pass over during the night leaving us with a cloudy, dry and very windy day tomorrow.

It's chocolate time.

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...
