Fresh breeze....

15th October 2022 (Saturday)    08.30 ....There was never going to be a


brilliant sunrise this morning, but there was plenty fresh air on the beach and I enjoyed that.   The breeze is from the SSE, with spits o’ rain now and again, but I think we are supposed to have sunny spells with light showers later.   Must ‘go’; slight flap on this morrrning.   I’ll have another cuppa before flapping off to B n Q’s.

Did I say that I was wanting a good drying day?.... I don't think I'm going to get it!



19.30    B n Q’s was a failed mission;  they don’t cut sheet ply to size.... I think Kirkcaldy is the nearest where they do that and I wasn’t in the mood for Kirkcaldy.   Instead I went and had a cuppa, a blether, then lunch with Alice, before going to Leven beach where Alice visited her friend, in one of the residential caravans, and I went for a walk on the beach.  The tide was out and there was one huge beach stretching all the way to Lower Largo.

On the way home I got caught in the roadworks at Leven; that road get’s dug up on a regular basis.... and it’s annoying.  I’ve no doubt that, like every time its dug up, this will be vital.

21.30    I’ve been watching an interesting programme about ‘Stonehenge’ (narrated by Rob Bell) this evening.  ‘JB’ and I visited Stonehenge a few years ago and being so close to such a massive monument, created by our ancestors 5000 years ago, was  awesome.... and bewildering.   The archaeologists keep finding ‘new’ bits to the whole complex, but they can’t solve the mystery of ‘why’ our ancestors built it.   Fascinating programme.

Tomorrow is going to be a ‘rest day, with me working around Ivy;  but I will take time out on the bike if it isn’t too cold and windy.   The forecast is ‘sunny with strong winds’;  so it will feel cold.    At least the washing will dry!     I say ‘working’ but that could mean anything;  and whatever it is it won’t be strenuous!   I mean.... lifting a pencil to do a Sudoku is classed as ‘working’.

I have chocolate to make before sorting out a few photographs I took of Leven beach this afternoon.

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...
