Quiet morrrrrrrning .....

9th July 2022 (Saturday)    06.00 ... There’s a light breeze, with fair amount of


cloud around .... however the forecast is for us to have ‘sunny intervals and a moderate breeze’, with the temperature rising to 22C.   It’s going to be a bonnie day. 

This is the start of ‘The Open’ week so the villages, indeed the whole of the East Neuk, will be busy;  this is the ‘changeover day’ with the holiday houses, so we can expect a lot of traffic.  I’ve had my ‘first’ breakfast....and will have another cuppa after this update, then go out on the bike before the roads get busy. 

08.30   I haven’t been out yet...  having been waiting for the sun to burn off the cloud;  I can see blue bits here and there now, so it should brighten up soon.   However, I haven’t been wasting time;   after breakfast I decided to check the woollie hat drawer .... and 17 woollie hats have been washed and are now hanging on the line.  I’m a happy boy....  I think it's time for morning coffee.

19.30    We can’t complain aboot the weather just now;  even I’m thinkin’ summer has arrived at last.   Actually it was too hot me going out in the afternoon, but that didn’t bother me:  I’m happy enough with the rest of the day.    I had ‘le Tour’ to keep an eye on anyway... and ‘ousework o potter about with.

The villages don’t appear to be as busy as I thought they’d be;  actually I haven’t been further than the garden today, so I don’t really know how busy the villages are;  all I do know is that Ferry Road has been busy with vehicles and they must be going somewhere.   I’ll go out on the bike tomorrow morning and do a ‘roond the villages tour’.


20.30     I have 17 clean woollie hats in the woollie hat drawer;  a good selection to choose from come the winter.   I didn’t realise I had collected so many.

What’s the plan for tomorrow?   The weather is suppose to be even better than today’s was;  that means my activities will be confined to morning and late afternoon evening.   I was thinking of trying for the beach this evening, but the breathing tubes have been iffy; so  that idea will probably have to be abandoned.   Aggravated asthma and fatigue are the worst after effects I’ve had from the virus.

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...
