Light frost....

24th February 2024 (Saturday)    08.45.... We have a lovely, calm, frosty morrrrrrning with only

'95' bus on the proper route!

a light breeze;  it's a bonnie morning to be out.    I'll let the air warm up and shift any icy patches, before going out on the bike... and only if if the roads aren't too busy.   The temperature is always going to be cool today, but the wind chill should be negligible; so it's a good day to wrap up, and go 'out to play.   

17.30   After an indecisive morning  wondering if I should go out on the bike I eventually went out, about 13.00 (the warmest part of the day) and did the resurfaced Elie road.   Having decided to do it from the Elie end I was surprised to fine the streets quiet and actually enjoyed going up Bank Street, which was a change for me, normally go down Fountain Road to South Street.  Going up Park Place I could see that the traffic cones were still in place at the Elie end of the roadworks... but one or two cars were bypassing the cones.  So I got the camera out and bumbled my way up the re-surfaced Elie road, stopping frequently to record for  the Alber' Archive.... and eventually arrived at the Ferry Road junction.   This was the surprising bit;   this end of the Elie roadworks was 'open':  Nae cones in sight.... and a '95' bus came up from the Kinneuchar junction.  As far as I could see someone had forgotten to remove the cones at the Elie end of the roadworks:  At least that' what it


looks like.   At the moment the road is 'Open' from the Kinneuchar end.... but 'Closed' from the Elie end.   However, as things are, we can go via Kinneuchar until the Balchrystie part of the road is done, and the whole length of the A917, from Elie to Balchrystie reopened.... using both Ferry Road and Elie Road (bypassing the cones).

19.00     I've had a reasonably busy day and feel satisfied at the end of it.  I especially enjoyed my run out on the bike;  it was much warmer that I thought it would be.... and there was 'nae wind' .    I also managed to transfer some more DVD's ;  transferring is the easy bit.... it's the browsing that diverts me;  and the bit I enjoy most!

22.00    According to the weather forecast we should wake up to mist/fog tomorrow;  but it should clear


to give us sunny spells by morrrrrrrning coffee time.   I doubt if I'll be out on the bike until later in the afternoon, as I'm going to Methil to annoy Alice: this will  give my legs a wee rest.  Actually my legs are starting to feel ready to do a slightly longer run... but I'll leave that until the next really good weather forecast.   Orf to make the bedtime 'orlicks.

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...
