Sunny and warm ....

21st June 2024 (Friday)    08.30 .... It's sunny and warm and...... I'm feeling playful!   I'm not going

to overdo anything today; the 'plan' is to take a turn round the villages on the bike, to discharge the battery;  then charge it so that I have a full battery for the weekend.   'Slight Flap on' .... it's breakfast time.  

15.30   The bike battery is being charged (in fact it might be fully charged by now) after a run 'roond the villages' this morning.   I stopped at Lorraine's to make an appointment to have my haircut (Tuesday at 10.00), then went to the harbour.   From the harbour I biked home by way of South Street, The Ferry High Street and Chapel Green.... with multiple stops to get photographs.

I chatted to the men working on the Ferry Road before going home to plug the bike on to charge.... and have lunch.   After lunch I fell sound asleep for an hour.    I'm feeling much better today: I think I must have had some kind o' bug, because, although 'playful', I'm not yet back to 'normal me'.   The kettle needs to be switched 'on' .... and the bike unplugged .... before I decide on what to do next!

22.45   I've had an enjoyable day;  definitely feeling better... and my daytime sleep pattern is back to normal.  The bike battery is fully charged and the 'plan' is to visit Shona on Sunday.   Tomorrow I'm going to visit Alice and go to Sainsbury's. 


I am going to have a few longish practice 'walks' with the 'hurdy gurdy', as Alice and I are going to have a trip to Edinburgh on the train.   It would be daft to go to Edinburgh and not try for Princes Street.  Jimmy always said that he could walk further and easier with the  'hurdy gurdy' (wheeled walking aid) and I have found it the same.  With me having the bike I have tended to forget about 'walking' with the 'HG'.   It also has a seat so that I can rest when required.   I'm looking forward to having a wander 'roond the Ferry' soon.

Pittenweem swimming pool....

20th September 2017 (Wednesday) ... 13.30    When I went along to Elie for the papers this morning, I got slightly diverted and ended up along at the old Pittenweem tidal swimming pool.  Pittenweem  swimming pool.    Unfortunately we have a, mostly overcast, with occasional spits and spots of rain, morning.     I must go back on a ‘bright and  sunny’ morning... this will show up the different colours of the sandstone rocks etc better.    It is an interesting spot, and would have been busy in the 1930’s , 40’s and 50’s.        20.30     My day has been spent pottering around Ivy... including baking a batch of wholemeal scones.    Note to self .... I must remember to freeze some of them this time;  rather than feed them to Blob and his pals.     It has been a grey and sometimes damp day;  not a day for bumbling about outside.    The ‘cold’ that I had last night didn’t come to anything.... I must have been tired after Solid infrastructure at Pittenweem swimming pool. my wand

Nice morning ....

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

Cold and overcast ....

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
