Cooler air ....

17th August 2022 (Wednesday)    08.30 .... With there being a brisk breeze


from the NNE, there’s a feel of autumn in the air this morning;  the sun has yet to break through the layer of early morning cloud, but once it does we should have a nice day.   I’m expecting a ‘good drying day’.

Seb and Vicky are going back home to Sunny Sussex this morning after a few ‘taster’ days in ‘Bonnie Scotland’.  This being their first time in Scotland, Michael and Janice have been showing them around; Dunfermline, Edinburgh, St Andrews, the East Neuk and.... most importantly....Elie and The Royal Burgh of Earlsferry.  

11.00   Vicky and Seb set off for ‘Sunny Sussex’, a wee while ago;  they should arrive home, in Uckfield, in the early evening.... it depends on how busy the M25 is.   Meanwhile we have a washing on the line on what is a good drying day!   There’s a cool breeze but it’s a bonnie day.

Janice on her way to Shell Bay.

17.45    Janice and Michael did Kincraig cliffs today;  Michael via the Chainwalk and Janice by way of the cliff top.    It was a beautiful day for doing the ‘walk’;  and they had are refreshment stop at the Shell Bay caravan park Cafe.   I am having a ‘rest day’... that began with a ‘sleep in’.   It hasn’t all been ‘rest’;  I have done some ‘ousework ... and a lot of thinking.  I’m going to bring in the washing, and if I do the folding up bit correctly, I won’t have to do any ironing.

22.15    Although I don’t seem to have done very much today, the time has passed quickly.... and I am content.   I don’t know what the ‘plan’ is for tomorrow but I must take a turn out on the bike in the morning:  I don’t intend sleeping in tomorrow... which is what I did this morning.   I never ‘catch up with where I should be’ when I sleep in.   At one point when sitting in The Hutte I started to think... and got into a flow.   Now I wish I’d taken notes.   I have a notebook out there now!  

We’re going to Leven to do a shopping tomorrow morning;  with Janice being there I’ll

'Stottin stanes beach - Kincraig cliffs.

get different things from what I normally buy.   I tend to buy the same foodstuffs... which might not be a bad thing the way prices are going ....but I feel a change of taste wouldn’t be a bad thing.   It will be a change from  shopping on my own.

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...
