Bright and breezy ....

 27th June 2024 (Thursday)    08.30 .... It's cooler than I expected it to be, but it's a lovely

Waverley steps roof.

morning to be out and about.   I'm going to Leven Sainsbury's shopping (I want a couple of Weight Watchers ready meals).... then up to Methil to have morrrrrrrning coffee with Alice.

 I must have been tired last night..... having had seven hours unbroken sleep.    Pedalling the bike without the battery was hard work.... and the muscles are slightly stiff.   I've had a long hot shower and now ready to go 'out to play'.    The 'plan' is to go biking in the afternoon.... weather permitting.   Light rain showers are forecast.  

16.45   I fell sound asleep after I got back from Methil..... and only woke up half an hour ago, so haven't been out on the bike today.  I'm having a  cuppa just now because there's an ominous looking cloud, to the West of us, that looks like it's depositing some of it's innards around the Leven/Lundin Links area.   Actually, we've been lucky with the showers (so far);  most of them have been further West.   Edinburgh looked like it caught  a few.  The 'new plan' is to go out in the evening .... if the showers have moved away to annoy someone else. 

19.00    I forgot to mention that Ferry Road is going to be 'Closed' from Monday 1st July to Friday 5th July, so that Scottish Water can do 'essential work to take care of the water supply in our area'.   That means I'll have a new batch of workmen to 'annoy' next week.  I think this weekend is the beginning of the Edinburgh Trades Fortnight.

Aberdeen to Glasgow Inter City Express.

I see that the barometric pressure has fallen rapidly since yesterday .... this is usually associated with an Atlantic storm moving in.    It also means sair joints and a few extra migraines.

22.00    I've been putting out the bucket (broon) and  discovered that it's windy.... and not very warm.    We could be in for an breezy night.   I'm going to make the Horlicks then get off to bed to read my book.   Tomorrow will be a rest day.

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...
