Bright and sunny ....

23rd September 2022 (Friday)      08.30   This is the Autumnal Equinox


 (when day and night are  the same length) ....and, this is exciting;  it’s only 88 days until the shortest day (and 92 until Christmas).    Right now we have a bonnie, “bright and sunny with a light breeze” start to the day....this could be a play day.  Actually I’m feeling slightly sluggish (normal for me after a vaccination) but that isn’t going to stop me going up to Chapel Green on the bike;  after another cuppa and a couple o’ paracetamol.

12.30   Instead of going up to Chapel Green on the bike I had a walk on the beach this morning.... the first time in a while I’ve done that.   The pills clobbered the headache but I have no doubt I’ll fall asleep this afternoon....but I’m hoping to feel more or less ‘normal’ tomorrow.  I haven’t been on the bike for a couple o’ days;  I might do that in the evening.

Ferry Road is going to be ‘closed’ for most of next week;  Scottish Water are doing something with the water supply to No2, The Courtyard.  

 


21.30    This has been a rest day;  mostly because I’ve been drowsy and headachy (jabs);  that said I had another short walk to the beach in the evening, after spending more or less the whole afternoon sleeping in front of the tele.... or in The Hutte.   I hope to be a bit more active tomorrow....though that depends on the after effects of the jabs;  so far, apart from the drowsiness and my eyeballs, the effects have been milder than the previous jabs. 

Although I have ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow, the weather forecast is good; sunny with a light


breeze in the morning, then cloud building in the afternoon;  much like it was today actually.   I’ve had the bedtime chocolate, (and a couple o’ paracetamol) so I’m ready for bed.   I’m hoping to feel good enough to go to the beach in the morning;  and get the bike out later  in the day.... I am enjoying having the SX70 back in action!

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...
