Lovely morrrrrrrrrrrning ....

2nd May 2024 (Thursday)    08.15 .... It's bright and breezy in Elie and Earlsferry this morning....

Leven.

however the wind is from the East and taking a few degrees off the temperature so not very warm on the beach!    Sheltered from the wind it will be really warm.... this has me thinking of painting the shed; it is sheltered from the wind, the patio being a real sun trap.   Anyway we have a bonnie morning ....  a day for doing things.

15.15   I had to go to Elie to hand in my prescription, so I decided to visit Alice when I was out in the car;  and I'd go to Boots to buy a BP monitor.   I eventually arrived at Alice's HQ, after negotiating two set of temporary traffic lights;  the first set at the former Lundin Links Hotel and the second at the ongoing works at the Bawbee Brig.  After admiring Alice's handiwork on the garden bench;  which is now Holly Green, instead of the Sea Green that it had been.   I'll take a photo of the finished bench next week.  I didn't have to buy a monitor as Alice had one that she doesn't use.   I have my annual BP check next Tuesday so have to take a few days readings at home: where I won't, or shouldn't have, 'white coat syndrome'.    I'm going to take a reading after this update.

I worked in that house (Whyterose Terrace Methil)!

20.00    It has been a bonnie day.... sadly it was spoiled by the fresh wind off the sea.   It was warm in Alice's garden, but the wind was swirling around, and it was cold even in the new patio area.... it was juts too windy!  The washing dried on what has been a perfect drying day!   I was planning to take a walk to the beach this evening but that has been put 'on hold' until the temperatures are where they should be;  and that isn't going to be for a wee while yet.  The wind is going to be lighter tomorrow, so it should be  warmer.  I'm planning to get the front of the shed done if that is the case.

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...
