Quiet morning.....

23rd July 2022 (Saturday)    08.30 .... We have a bonnie, warm (19C) morning: 


there is a lot of harmless looking cloud around just now, which the sun might burn off to give us a ‘bright and sunny’ day.  It looks like being a good day for the Fayre on the Toll Green this afternoon.

10.00   That’s the bike taken care of;  I phoned Two Wheels in Pitscottie and they are picking the bike up tomorrow morning at 10.00.    A few years ago I’d have been able to do the job myself but for some (obscure) reason everything is trickier with electric bikes... even a simple job like changing a tyre.   Must ‘go’.... it’s nearly morning coffee time.


21.00   I always thought that much of the weight of my bike was in the battery;  it isn’t.   When I took the battery off I was surprised to discover it isn’t nearly as heavy as I expected it to be.    It’s a solidly built bike is the Raleigh Stowaway.   I also discovered that I can turn the bike upside down to repair punctures.   Messing about with the bike and doing some work in the front garden has been my exercise for today.  There’s light rain just now so I’m depending on the rain moving before I contemplate going out.

We had a hot muggy night last night and tonight is going to be the same ...according to the weather forecaster.   In fact heavy thundery showers (and thunder) could come our way overnight, but should clear away north by morning time.   There’s a crop of storms moving over from Northern Ireland towards the West coast of Scotland just now... hopefully they will stay there.

I have no plan for tomorrow;  I have to stay in until the bike is uplifted at 10.00 and also in the afternoon is case they bring it back;  though it’s more likely to be Monday before I get it back.   All will be back to normal on Monday.

The sky is looking ominous towards the West so I’m going to make the chocolate and

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...
