Cracker o' a mornin' ....

1st September 2022 (Thursday)      07.30 .....Welcome to cracker o’ a


September mornin’.... ‘bright,  sunny  and warm with only a light breeze;   a lovely morning for going out.    There’s  a washing in the machine and  I’m on my second cuppa before getting the bike out and having a birl up to Chapel Green.  

09.30    I had a turn out to the 11th tee for a change o’ scene;  no ...I should say...” for a change of viewpoint of a favourite scene” ....Kincraig Cliffs!   It was magical.... calm, peaceful;  and a million miles away from the havoc going on in today’s world.   Love it. 

21.30     We, Myra, Kirsty, Geoff and I, enjoyed lunch at ‘The Smoke Shed’ (East Pier) in St Monans.... excellent food and company.   I’m allergic to shellfish so chose cod and chips (no starter), with pavlova for dessert.... big helpings of both....and very tasty.   The restaurant was busier than I expected, but it was a bonnie day and a lot of folk were wandering around St Monans.... and the East pier was handy for a hungry walker.

This has been a bad ‘breathing’ day.  I think it was just the still hot air, but whatever was, it didn’t agree with my tubes.   It became easier in the evening with the cooler air, but I didn’t o out on the bike again as I’d planned.

Being at St Monans reminded me that I haven’t been round the harbour for a few weeks.... I’ll have to do something about that in the next week or two;  on a good breathing day.

The bedding is ready to go back on the bed so that will be my mission tomorrow morning.  Apart from my asthma I have had an enjoyable day.... and have even managed to do some ‘work’... albeit slowly.   The bike out to the 11th tee was really enjoyable.... depending how I am in the morning I might do that tomorrow morning:  the forecast is

St Monans.

good... pretty much the same as today in fact.  The air is fresher at that time of morning.... and my breathing is good;  in fact I’m playful early 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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
