Cool easterly breeze ....

22nd July 22023 (Saturday)     09.30 .... It’s a lovely morrrrrrning;  but there’s


a cool easterly breeze; however, once the sun breaks through it should be pleasantly warm;  but, unfortunately, not as warm as it should  be at this time of year.   I did a tour of the villages... and Elie Estate ....when I went for the paper this morning;   I also remembered to go for the paper.   



19.15    The villages are busy;  I don’t think I saw a spare parking space in the Ferry when I was out earlier.   It’s good that the villages busy, after all it is the middle of the holiday season;  it’s just a pity the weather isn’t as it should be in July.   What have I been doing?....I’ve been busy;  jumping between watching the golf on ‘Sky Go’ (computer) and Stage 20 of ‘le Tour’ on the tele..... and popping out to ‘work’ in The Hutte at regular intervals.   I’d kinda half thought I’d get out on the bike in the evening but the weather is not agreeing with me.... so I’ll have another cuppa and watch the golf.   I can work on the computer and watch the golf at the same time;  the golf is in one corner of the monitor screen and  my 'work' in another corner.    I'm likin' this!


20.30   ‘Le Tour’ finishes in Paris tomorrow;  it has been a quick three weeks for us viewers;  and seriously hard work for the competitors.   It will literally be ‘back to the drawing board’ for me.  I don’t watch much ‘sport’ nowadays; rugby, cycling and golf are about it.   If the weather improves I’ll get out on the bike more now the bike is fixed.

No ‘plan’ for tomorrow;  the weather for our area is supposed to be ‘nae bad’.   Rain is forecast for the Borders and down to the Midlands of England... but that weather is not supposed to bother us.   We’re to have ‘the chance of showers and sunny spells’.... and cool for July.

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...
