Cool NW breeze ....

4th August 2023 (Friday)    09.45.... the cool NW breeze made the air chilly


this morrrrning... but the sun is up and the air much warmer now.    It’s a lovely morrrrrning  so I think I’ll have my morning coffee break up at Chapel Green.   The weather forecast is ‘good’ with the early morning showers fading away by lunch time.   I might have my morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee break up at Chapel Green today.





16.45   I haven’t been up to Chapel Green yet;  I got diverted by a sudden desire to detach a few weeds from Mother Earth and send them for a holiday in the ‘broon’ bucket next Friday.  I don’t have much of a garden just now but the weeds in the bits of garden I do have, are very healthy weeds.... and in need of a ‘holiday’.   I’m hoping to go up to Chapel Green after this update.  The urge to pull weeds has left me. 

19.00    I’ll go biking tomorrow morning;  I ended up pullin’ a few more weeds.  I’ve also been working in The Hutte; so have had a productive day.  I was going to put ‘very productive’ but I don’t do very productive nowadays.


Ferry Road has been busy this afternoon;  I’m assuming it’s people coming back after being somewhere in the car: if it’s more cars coming in, parking will be a big problem this weekend.  The villages of the East Neuk are all busy:  all the roads I call ‘my quiet roads’ are busy: Even my ‘quiet biking places’ are busy. Has ‘change’ happened faster all  round the East Neuk in the past few years;  or is it just me growing older?   Older?.... me?.... no it can’t be that!


20.30   I’ve been watching the Cycling World Championships from the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome (Glasgow);  I don’t think I could get out of the electronic start gate!   I have the right shape o’ butt;  but it isnae muscle!

Thundery showers and gentle breeze is the weather forecast for us tomorrow; that means


sunny spells in between any showers that might come our way.   I am happy enough with that.   I’ve had a busy and enjoyable day; but it has caught up with me and I am tired now; but it’s a contented tiredness.

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...
