Beautiful morrrrrrrrning .....

17th May 2023 (Wednesday)      09.30 .... It’s an absolute cracker o’ a mornin’


so I was out on the bike at 05.30 this morrrrrrrrrrrning.    The sun had appeared above the low cloud so it wasn’t cold and there was very little wind.... and the only wind chill  was when I was on the bike.  I might go out later in the morning;  after morrrrrning coffee.   Thankfully, my knee doesn’t bother me when I’m biking;  well it does but only when I’m getting on and off.


19.30    I enjoyed my run round the villages this morning.... and not having been on the bike for nigh on a week made it doubly enjoyable.  Early morning is the best time for me to be out.... in fact it’s the best time of the day:  the roads are quiet, the birds twitterin’ and it’s a good time to be out with the camera.   I ended up with a load o’ photographs to ‘play’ with.    I’ll finish sorting them out after this update.

My main mission for today was renewing my Blue Badge;  which was easily done after I’d sorted out the bits and pieces needed.   I did it online.... and now wait for Fife Council to do their bit and send me the bill.... and the new badge.


Cruise ship 'Viking Venus'.

I had thought of going out on the bike this evening but the change in the weather has put me off that idea;  anyway I have enough photos to play with tonight.

I did a bit of drawing ‘work’ (in between catnaps) in the afternoon;  progress, though slow, is steady .... and very satisfying.   Tomorrow I’ll take ‘time out’ to go to Methil and ‘annoy’  Alice .....she is bound to need some ‘annoying’.

21.00   Tomorrow’s weather forecast is .... 23 second pause ... ‘sunny intervals and a moderate breeze’;  it could be a bonnie day;  and a good drying one.   I’ll get ‘up’ early and see what the weather is doing at 05.30;  if all is good I’ll go out on the bike.   Alice has informed me that her birthday cake needs to be eaten; and ...yes.. I have volunteered

Grange Road from the 17th tee.

to help her.   That’s the mission for tomorrow.

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...
