....another bonnie morning.

30th May 2023 (Tuesday)     09.00.... This is definitely a sun-cream day; 


bright and sunny with an Easterly breeze... and I haven’t been out on the bike.   I’ll do that in the evening when everything is quieter.    I’m hoping to do a longer run in the next few days .... especially if the weather stays  warm and sunny.   I’m thinking of Colinsburgh and Balcarres.

20.30   It has been a cracker o’ day and I have enjoyed it.  The roads were busy when I went to Methil;  and even busier on the way home.  Driving isn’t as enjoyable now as it was before COVID:  there always seems to be someone in hurry.   When driving along and you check the rear view mirror and see a pair of eyeballs.... that’s unnerving.....and that’s driving in the East Neuk nowadays. 


I had a relaxing few hours with Alice... and her daughter’s Izzy and Theresa who dropped by (at different times).   There was much chatting, laughter and drinking of tea.  Alice and I also visited Marilyn, one of the neighbours who lives in the same, quiet, cul de sac.  

The roads on the journey home were, as I have already said, busy.... in both directions and I was well ready for a cuppa when I got back to Ivy.

I haven’t done much in the way of ‘work’ today but did a couple of Sudoku’s.   And fell asleep.  However, Gerry and his ‘Team’ have been busy at Ferry Lodge and a building is starting to take shape:  it’s interesting seeing it all happen.  All that work makes me feel guilty so I will make an effort of some kind tomorrow..... with the pencils.

I haven’t been out on the bike today but will go out tomorrow; the roads will be quieter. 


 I travel on ‘main’ roads only when I can’t avoid doing so... and early in the morning.  ‘Sunny intervals with a moderate breeze (E)’ is the forecast so it should be much like it was today; but it could be cloudier and cooler along the North Sea Coast.   I wonder if that means be haar?

I’m tired tonight and well ready for bed.... though not just immediately.   I’ll make the chocolate and browse the TV channels after this update.

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...
