Feeling excitable ....

17th October 2022 (Monday)     10.00 .... It’s all ‘appening at Ferry Road


this morning;  a fresh set of temporary traffic lights so that Scottish Power can replace a junction box ... on the pavement outside Ferry Lodge.   I imagine this will mean we’ll have ‘power cuts ‘;   mind you, we haven’t had any notification .....  so far.   Must ‘go’ slight flap on;  things could be happening outside.... and, more importantly, I switched the  kettle  ‘on’ half an hour ago....that’ll need to be fired up again!
I’m feeling frolicsome this morning.... and it’s a bonnie start to the day so I’ve been to the harbour on the bike (and forgot the paper);  strong winds with rain is forecast for later in the afternoon.   I might go out again.... after morrrrrning coffee.

18.00   I don’t know where to begin, Ferry Road has been a hive o’ activity all day:  the result of all this activity?.... two lovely holes (well worth a browse), and Balvonie without scaffolding.   There was so much ‘appening that I almost forgot to put the kettle on at morrrning coffee time.   The camera has been recording events and I have a load o’ photographs to play with over the next couple of hours.   Ferry Road is a ‘No Parking’ zone now so ‘sooper buggy’ is moored up at the Toon Hall.

'Permian Lady' - liquid gas tanker.

It has been a lovely day, albeit breezy but we knew that was coming.   It was the wind that made me cut short my ‘planned’ run up to Kinneuchar;  I might do that tomorrow.  I’m well ready for food now... and warm cuppa.  The kettle has been neglected today.

 




21.30    Heather, Ray and Alistair dropped in this evening;  we had a mug o’ coffee and a good old natter.... an enjoyable evening that passed too quickly.

According the weather lassie on BBC tonight tomorrow is going to be a bonnie day;  the wind is to moderate overnight and it is going to be ‘sunny with a light breeze’.... with the wind is veering towards the East in the afternoon.    My ‘plan’ is to go out in the morning


the charge up the bike battery then, hopefully go out again in the afternoon.    I have a wee bit of work I want to do so the afternoon bike run might not happen.   I’ve had an enjoyable day today, and will have the Ferry Road action to record.... so tomorrow could be a fairly busy day too.

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...
