Quiet morning ....

7th May 2022 (Saturday)     09.30 .... It’s beautiful morning; cloudy but very


peaceful.... and we are forecast to get sunny spells in the afternoon.   I took the car when I went for the paper, because it was spittin’ rain at the time but I hope to get out on the bike later in the morning, then charge the battery up and go out again later in the afternoon.   Depends on how busy the roads are.  

Elie harbour is incredible at early morning time;  especially when the light was as it was this morning.  Yes all is where it should be at the harbour.    I like harbours.... there’s always something happening.

13.30    I’ve been out on the bike... but I didn’t go as far as I wanted ‘cos it was spittin’ rain, and it started to get serious so I abandoned the mission.   The bike battery was down at one bar so it’s now being charged, and I should get out later in the afternoon;  the sun is starting to break through now.


17.30    The sun did break through the clouds but only for short spells.... at least it was brighter.    I got the bike out in the late part of the afternoon and did the same run as I did the other day;  Kinneuchar, Elie Estate then home by Elie.   It was easier this time but there’s no denying it, that virus I had is taking a bit of shaking orf.   The breathing tubes have been the worst affected but they are slowly clearing.   I wish I had done a test at the time;  I’ll never know now whether I had COVID or not.   Luckily, the time I did have a virus I lay low because I didn’t feel like going out;  in fact I’ve near enough been self isolating for the past two years.   Anyway I enjoyed my trip out on the bike this afternoon;  but it was cold.

20.30    Tomorrow is going to be a ‘rest day’;  the weather is going to be much like today’s was....with the wind from the East so once again it will be cool.    I’ll take the bike to go for the paper in the morning... and visit the harbour;  that’s assuming the weather is amenable.  

I’m tired tonight so it’s early chocolate, then try to find something to watch on the tele: 


if I can’t find anything to watch it will be an early night in bed with my book.

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...
