Lovely morning ....

1st May 2023 (Monday)    08.30.... we have a ‘bright, sunny and warm morning


with a light breeze; a bonnie morning for the last day of the ‘Scarecrow Festival’.   Light rain showers are forecast for the afternoon.;  and the breeze, from the West just now, is going to veer to the East and freshen.   And .... the garden thermometer is at 12C just now!

12.30    I was feeling ‘good’ and  managed a wander onto the beach this morning....my breathing was ‘good’ with the wind being from the West.  There was a bonnie ‘light’ (and clouds) about so I have a load o’ photos to ‘play with this evening.  The golf course was busy, with brightly coloured golfers all over the course.  It’s a bonnie morning for doing the ‘Scarecrow Trail’. 

19.45    The morning was the better part f the day as far as the weather went;  as predicted it clouded over in the afternoon and we caught at least one shower (I fell asleep for about an hour), but it has been a pleasant day, most of the time, for doing the ;Scarecrow Trail’.   And I saw a lot of families going around the Ferry doing just that.   As for me my only exercise was my morning daunder to the beach.   Since then I have been ‘working’ around Ivy.   By ‘working’ I mean sitting in The Hutte drawing;  and I did


a wee bit o’ ‘ousework.  I suspect that I overdid the ‘walking’ this morrrning 'coz I  now feel stiff and sore.   Tomorrow is  a ‘rest day’... (I keep thinkin’ that at night, then immediately forget about it in the morning).   Ye Gods.... when I think of the distances I’ve walked, jogged, ran .... and biked without after effects.  Growing older comes with a lot o’ attachments right enough.  I must admit that I enjoyed my morning walk;  a hot chocolate and an early night in bed with my book, should ave me ready to ‘go’ again tomorrow.  

‘Light cloud and a moderate breeze’ is the weather forecast for us tomorrow;  with no


mention o’ precipitation.    The wind is going to be from the Easterly direction... so it’s unlikely to be as warm as it was this morning when I was out.  My ‘plan’ (for tomorrow) is to get ‘up’ bright and early to go for the paper (in the car) and to hopefully intercept the postie when he’s emptying the Toll Green Post Box.   After that I’m having a ‘rest day’.   Maybe.

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...
