Feeling lively ....

13th March 2024 (Wednesday)    08.00 ....The auld bones aren't exactly enthusiastic this

The 'Elie road - minus trees on the West side.

morrrrrrrning: However, once they start to cooperate with each other we'll be ready to go 'oot tae play'.   The weather is of the slightly damp kind just now, but the sky has a more promising look than it's had for the past few days.... (there was a big bloo patch towards the south earlier) and sunny spells are meant to come our way after midday.   The old saying.... "a clear sooth drooned the plooman"... means more rain to come.   After the sunny spells!

10.00   I haven't been out and about but I have done some 'ousework... not much, but enough to claim that I have actually done something.   I'm sort of hoping to go out on the bike when the sunny spells do arrive because the air is reasonably warm.... and we like warm.   The sky has an interesting look with 'bloo' bits starting to drift over.   In the meanwhile my arm muscles would benefit from the effort of lifting a mug o' tea!





19.00     My word... Spring has arrived.   The weather turned very Spring like this afternoon.... and I was feeling in the need of some exercise so went up to Broomlees on the bike to photograph the West side of the Elie road (A917).   The trees have been removed because they are old and past it;  unlike me I'm old and still trying to reach 'it'.... whatever 'it' is!   It was really good to be out on the bike again.... and the battery is being charged up for a longer run.   I'm not sure when that will be because the weather that's forecast for the next few days is ....not bike friendly if the forecasters have got it right.

I have no intention of going out on the bike tomorrow;  I am going to have a VIV (Very Important Visitor).   Emily and John are coming up to attend a funeral and they are bringing Henry, my

Irene and Andrew.

Great Grandson, for a cuppa.  The camera lens will be cleaned... and a fully charged battery in the camera.  The reason for them being here is sad, but I am looking forward to seeing Henry... and Em .... and John.

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...
