Breezy ....

6th August 2022 (Saturday)     07.00 .... I had to cancel the ‘plan’ to go out

From the top deck of the '95' bus -October 2009.

early on the bike .... it was spittin’ rain.  It’s just a light shower, and, though the forecast is light cloud and a moderate breeze, the chance of precipitation decreases by mid morning.   I’m hoping for sunny spells .... and  a good drying day;  at the moment it’s cool with a showery look to the sky.

11.00    I am a slightly frustrated boy;  I have a fully charged bike, and I’m feeling playful but there weather has not been friendly;  having said that, the sky is beginning to brighten so I might get out in the afternoon.   In the meantime I have done a wee bit o’ de-mancaving.... so the morrrrrning hasn’t being entirely wasted.  Oh... I forgot about the Commonwealth Game;  I think it’s time to ‘ave a cuppa and check out the action at Birmingham.

14.00     The sunny spells have started so I am considering going out to play;  it all depends on how busy the roads are.   Ferry Road was busy in the morning;  and I imagine going to Elie via Liberty would be too much o’ a challenge at this time o’ day.   When I go out, probably late afternoon or early evening time, I’ll make for Kinneuchar.

Lower Largo.   October 2009.

22.00    Being that I got diverted I never went out on the bike;  but it was a good ‘diversion’ and one that’s long overdue.   I traced out the lettering for the Ivy Cottage sign (front gate)... and it’s ready to write tomorrow.   Clever boy.... as long as I don’t get diverted onto something else!

Although I’ve had a quiet and restful day, I managed to do fair amount of de –mancaving.   In fact if I’m not careful, and got a bunch o’ floo’ers for the living room, Ivy Cottage would begin to look girl cave-ish.  Methinks I’ll curtail my de-mancaving activities a bit!  

It’s going to be a brighter day tomorrow; ‘bright and breezy’ in fact.  I need to do a

The 'Leven Lum'.

shopping so I’ll do that bright and early too.  That will leave the rest of the day to watch ... oops ... do the Ivy Cottage sign.   There’s new ‘B n M’ opened in Glenrothes I might venture along there.   I wonder what Alice is doing in the morning.

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...
