Quiet morrrrrrrrrning .....

2nd July 2024 (Tuesday)    09.15 .... I was expecting a bit of the "sunny and warm" weather but at

'The Paddocks' building site - Colinsburgh.

the moment we have the "overcast, with the chance of sunny spells and light rain shower later" kind.   Disappointing I suppose... but there's very little wind so it's a quiet (apart from the workmen down in Ferry Wynd) peaceful morning.   Ferry Road is 'Closed';  and nothing happening around the 'ole.   I'm going to take a turn roond the Ferry on the bike after an 'early morning coffee'.... and before any light showers that might come our way.   None of the Fife Weather cams are showing any 'bloo' bits in the sky!

10.30   The run roond the Ferry, on the bike, has been put on hold until the sunny spells arrive;  could be after lunch time going by the look of the sky.   I might have a turn round the villages in the car.   At the moment the kettle is 'on'.   


20.30    I'm absolutely 'shattered';  Stage 4 of le Tour was a 'mountain' Stage with a lot of climbing, some of it steep .... and the final climb, Col du Galibier, very steep.  Those guys are amazingly fit.... and the 'climbing' specialists especially so.  I'll sleep well tonight.  Stage's 5 and 6 are flat and will be 'rest days'!  With all that going on it was late afternoon before went up to Kinneuchar, on the bike;  it was nice enough but much cooler than I expected it to be.... especially for July.




Tomorrow is going to be another mostly overcast day, with drizzle/light rain at times.    I might birl roond The Ferry before breakfast if it's not wet.   The 'plan' is to do some 'ousework in the morning;  then watch (intermittently) Stage 5 of The Tour in the afternoon.

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...
