Balmy kind o' morning ....

13th November 2022 (Sunday)     08.30....It’s a beautiful morrrrning.... and,


although the breeze is from the SE it isn’t cold.... well... not as cold as you’d expect at this time of year.    It could become colder if the SE wind freshens.  I didn’t go to the beach.... not because I didn’t want too;  I didn’t wake up until 07.15, after an unbroken night’s sleep.  Funnily enough, I’ll feel as if I’m ‘chasing my tail’ all day now.   Anyway I’m up and runnin’.... well ... not quite runnin’, but definitely vertical and moving. 

 18.30    I was togged up to go to the Remembrance Sunday Service at the Elie and Earlsferry War Memorial, when a bank of fog moved in and fired up my asthma.   Until then I’d been fine.   I thought my War Memorial trip was going to be ‘off’.... but (you never know with our lovely Scottish weather) the fog cleared away by 10.30 and  so all was ‘good’.


We always get a good turnout at the Elie and Earlsferry Remembrance service.... in fact I think today’s was one of the busiest.   It’s good to see young folk attending.... and ex-servicemen and women.    I should get my beret and medals sorted for next year and join the group of ‘veteran’s;  I think that every Remembrance Day... and forget all about the day after.

I washed the car  and checked the tyre pressures;  all I need to do before Tuesday (MOT day) is tidy up the inside.  The car ‘washing’ was more o’ a dicht than a proper wash:  the car was heavy with dew this morning so I washed it down with a sponge then rinsed it.   This was the quickest ever car wash.   Normally I’d take it through the car wash, in Leven, on the morrrning of the MOT, but I’m travelling via Largoward so won’t have time to go through the car wash.

21.30   Tomorrow could be another rest day!  I have to tidy up and clean the innards o’ the car tomorrow.... then take ‘her’ to Colinsburgh for fuel.  I might go out on the bike


(cleaning the car will be ‘dicht’ standard, therefore won’t take long) but I see that the wind is going to be from the SE, and that we’re to have low cloud, so I might just potter around in the garden.... 'cos it will feel cold.    We had a 'red sky at night etc', so I'm looking for sunny spells.

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...
