Quiet morning ....

14th May 2022 (Saturday)   06.00 ....there was a touch of ‘red sky in the


morning at sunrise tine (05.01) but I didn’t go to the beach with the camera.... I was enjoying a cuppa at the time.   It wasn’t a spectacular sunrise.   The plan is to go out on the bike before the traffic gets busy.   Oops.... a car just shot up Ferry Road;  probably trying to get to where they want to be, before early morning cyclists are on the road.  

The sky is starting to brighten and there’s not much wind:  I’ll have another cuppa then get the bike out.

20.30    After a busy (my kind of busy) morning I had a lazy afternoon;   since having a virus I am good for morning activity, but fatigue sets in after lunch and that’s it for the day.   However I feel that I am slowly recovering.   Mind you I was ‘up’ at 04.30 this morning:  I wanted to see how the light was for going out early with the camera.   


Although I enjoyed the bike run up to Kinneuchar just after six o’clock, the ‘light’ wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.  Kinneuchar was quiet.   I came home by way of the ‘paper shop’ then up to Chapel Green.   By the time I got back home the bike battery was flat.... which is what I wanted.   Every so often you have to empty the battery:  anyway it is now full charged ready for tomorrow.    That said.... the wind is going to be from the East... not my favourite wind direction.

I met Jock at the ‘paper shop’ today;  he couldn’t hang around to long for a blether.... he had to hurry back home to get Honor’s breakfast organised.   Jock just loves spoiling Honor.  Then again he might have been going golfing!

I don’t intend getting up at 04.30 tomorrow morning; yes... the roads are quiet but even


at 06.30 the roads are quiet.   I’ll have a lie in tomorrow and get ‘up’ at 06.00.... then bumble up to the ‘paper shop’ about 07.00.   Now that I’m starting to feel ‘better’ I’m thinking of tackling Balcarres on the bike .... sometime soon.   Mind you the nurse did say “don’t overdo it;  rest when you feel fatigued".  I’d best leave Balcarres for another week.

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
