Feeling frisky ....

19th March 2023 (Sunday)   07.00....nice, peaceful morrrrrrning.... and


there’s a fresher air so I’m feeling positively playful.   The 'plan' is to go out on the bike once the air warms up; it’s not cold, it’s just not as warm as it was yesterday.   I’ll take the car up to Elie to pick up the paper after this update.... and another cuppa.

12.15    The paper has been uplifted (the Sunday Post for a change of ‘truth’) and the harbour had a quick bumble roond.   All is where it should be;  nae cones for me to tangle up with.   I had planned to go out on the bike but the air is cooler than it was earlier.... 8C as opposed to 10.5 when I first looked at the thermometer.    And the clouds have thickened; so there’s good chance that the bike won’t be coming out at all today.


20.30    The bike was brought out, in the middle of the afternoon when there was only a smirr o’ wind.   Unfortunately it had backed to the Southeast so it was cool... especially when biking into it on my way to Elie.  I did a mini tour of the villages... I didn’t o to the harbour ‘cos it would have been really cool down there.    The sky was full of atmosphere and I got some moody photos, so, even thought though the air was cool, my ‘trigger’ finger was hot.    I was, and still am, a ‘happy boy’.  And being well wrapped up I enjoyed being out on the bike.

The couple on the bench at The Breakwater are friends of Chris and Barbara;  I didn’t know that until we were going our separate ways.   I like the photo with them on the bench.... they add life to the scene in a quiet, Elie and Earlsferry way.   I didn’t have my pencil and notebook with me or I might have asked their names.   Sorry aboot that.

I’ve just seen the weather forecast for tomorrow and it looks like it could be damp; 


‘light rain and a gentle breeze’ is the KY9 forecast.  Unfortunately the ‘gentle breeze’ is going to be from the East, bringing the light rain with it.   Going out on the bike this afternoon was one of my better ideas.

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...
