Beautiful morning ....

24th September 2022 (Saturday)     08.30    I went the beach to catch


sunrise....on what is a quiet, peaceful start to the Glasgow holiday weekend;  and I wasn’t the only one enjoying the early morning ambience.   It was a bonnie morning to be jogging, walking the dog(s).... or, like me, just enjoying being on Elie and Earlsferry beach.   It’s a ‘play day’.





21.00    The villages seemed busy when I went for the paper (on the bike about10.00) so I decided to come home by way of Elie Estate;  only to find that and it was busy too.... with a group of walkers striding out to ‘somewhere.’    I stopped at the ‘loch run’ to take some photographs... and let them get away, and let the birds settle down.   I like hearing the birds on the Estate.   Anyway I took a batch of photos and arrived home at ‘morrrrrrrning coffee’ time.... and had time to browse the photos I’d taken before a ‘lite bite’ lunch.


In the afternoon I went to The Hutte to do a couple of Sudoku’s.... and fell sound asleep.   This round of jabs has made me drowsier... and annoyed my eyes:  that said, the headache I had yesterday wasn’t as bad as I expected.  When I woke up I set about making a batch o’ mince and tautties for the freezer (Cottage Pies).   By the time I’d done all that the weather had changed to ‘light rain’ so I didn’t go out again; anyway, I’d already taken enough photographs to ‘play’ with over the next couple of days.

Our weather forecast for tomorrow is ...‘cloudy with gusty winds’;  however I’m looking

Balcarres Crag.

for sunny spells in the morning, then clouding over in the afternoon.... much like it did today.   The wind could get frisky;  after all it is equinoctial gales season.  I’m hoping to take the bike to go for the paper first thing ... and maybe even take a run down to the harbour.   I want to flatten the bike battery before charging it up again;  you’re supposed to do that now and again.

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...
