Sunny and warm ....

11th May 2024 (Saturday)    10.00 .... We have another sunny and warm 'play day', and, because I


was feeling frisky I biked down to the harbour.   The sea was like a mirror so I got myself a few reflection photos: the tide was on the ebb, so we will have a huge beach now!  It's a bonnie day for the beach and it will be busy.  I might have another turn out on the bike after morning coffee;  it takes about ten days for the legs to get back to fitness after a long break.  

12.00    The 'romantic corner' table has been washed and should be in place, on the patio by 15.00:  I might have afternoon coffee out there about 15.15!



Janice sent me the photo of the Aurora Borealis, as it looked over Uckfield (Sussex);  I imagine the Aurora must rarely be as bright as it was over the South East of England last night.

20.30   This has been another gorgeous day; it had the feel of summer about it.  I didn't go out on the bike in the afternoon... it was too hot!   23C on the garden thermometer.   In fact I had ice cream and afternoon coffee on the patio; much more relaxing than biking!
As we've come to expect on bonnie days like this the villages were busy: I saw numerous walkers on Ferry Road, throughout the day.   It was a great day for doing the Coastal Path.    I'll do the Chapel Green bit tomorrow!

22.30   'JB' is coming up by train for on the 8th June, arriving at Kirkcaldy at 15.10.   It so happens that the new Leven Station opens for business on the 2nd June so I shall moor the car at Leven, and take the train to Kirkcaldy to meet 'JB' off the Aberdeen train, and we'll then get the 15,50 train from Kirkcaldy to Leven.   I could of course take the car to Kirkcaldy but I fancy using the new rail link.... and it removes the stress of driving.    The 'plan' may change;  I might fancy driving to Kirkcaldy!

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...
