Beautiful morning....

10th May 2024 (Friday)    08.15 .... we have a sunny and warm  morning, and we're going to have


to get used to it for the whole day;  it's sun cream day even though there is  some light cloud about.   At the moment there's a light breeze from the southwest, but that is backing Easterly so there could be a light breeze 'aff the watter' in the afternoon.   It's a 'play day' and I will be out on the bike after 'morning coffee'.   

16.30    This has been the best day of weather we've had for a long time (21C on the garden thermometer).   As 'planned' I went out on the bike.... the idea being to go for a longer run than yesterday.   I decided to start by making Chapel Green my first stop.  In fact it ended up being my only stop;  I was enjoying the sunshine so much that I just moved from one seat to another .... taking a load of photographs on the way round.  There was hardly a breath o' wind so the cliffs were reflected in the mirror like water;  all very peaceful.   Susie, a neighbour of Myra's in Glover's Wynd (alias Toblerone Row) came by;  also enjoying the bonnie weather.   We chatted for a while, took a few photos, then went our separate ways. 


 I went back to the first 'seat' I'd stopped at (Maggie's), took more photos as the light had changed by this time, so I  moved another couple of times;  eventually deciding to go back to Ivy because it was lunch time.

21.00    My face has the rare feeling of being slightly sunburnt after my morning in the sun:  and tomorrow is going to be another day of sunshine.  I've unearthed the sun cream.  If I do go out on the bike it will be in the Elie direction .... and earlier than I went out today.   

The workmen arrived this afternoon to 'grout' the first section of the patio  .... the patio can be used after a few days; once the 'grout has cured.  I have a few, small 'bits and pieces in the wee shed, that I'll remove before they come back.   I'd like the wee shed to be more or less totally empty so that they can move it, to lay patio slabs where it stands.... then move it back when the job is done. 
It's all very exciting.

22.15   A few weeks of this sunny weather would be very welcome;  however this is not the first week of a long spell of sunshine, according to the weather forecasters.  I'll be out enjoying the sun again tomorrow!

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...
