Beautiful morrrrrrrrrrning .....

1st June 2024 (Saturday)    08.15 .... It's a lovely morning;  not quite wall to wall 'bloo' sky but

very summery looking just the same.  The 'go out early' plan had to be abandoned when I overslept, but I'll get going after breakfast.   The 'new plan' is to make for Kinneuchar, and maybe even Colinsburgh depending on how busy the roads are.   The East Neuk could be busy with day trippers enjoying this weather. 

14.30    I had a brilliant bike run up to Colinsburgh and Balcarres and home by way of Kinneuchar;  this is the longest trip (7.5 miles) on the bike since October.   Jings.... I used to do 150 miles in one day (without a battery) not that long ago.  That said;  I'm thankful that I can go out on the bike to get a few photos to 'play' with: and .... that the battery levels out the hills!   

20.00    I enjoyed... (and I'm not as stiff as I expected to be) the longer bike run today, but tomorrow will be 'Rest' day.  I still have a lot of today's photographs to sort out, because I did some work on 'JB's room:  there's almost a bed!  At the moment the bed is a soft shelf for various 'important' things!  There's loads o' time;  JB doesn't arrive until next Saturday! 


We have a lovely evening, but there's a cool wind off the sea so no run up to Chapel Green tonight.   I've been watching a programme about 'last of the Summer Wine';   all about the idea, and the making of it.... and the different actors/actresses in it.  Very interesting.

Overcast with light rain .....

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...
