Bright and breezy .....

11th October 2024 (Friday)     09.30 .... We have a bright and breezy morning, with the chance of

light rain showers.  The showers are forecast fade away to give us a cool, sunny and dry afternoon.  I feel like taking a walk to the beach but it depends on how cold the air is.  Having slept in I'm behind schedule: However I've showered and had breakfast, now I need another cuppa to get me going.

17.00    I've got my car back!    I phoned the garage this morning to see of it was done: found out that all was good, MOT and everything.  I then phoned Myra, to see if she could give me a run to the garage to pick up my car.   She could and did and I am mobile again.   I went straight  from the garage to Sainsbury's Leven to do a shopping!   Where I stocked up with food!   Even the Emergency rations were.... would you believe it.....  being rationed!   All is back to nearly normal.    With no bus service to Earlsferry now I felt 'trapped'!   Being 'trapped' in The Royal Burgh is fine;  being short of Emergency Rations and trapped isn't so good!    I bought food as well as chocolate biscuits!   I met Alice and Karen (Alice's daughter) in Sainsbury's doing their weekly shop   In the 'good old days (when Sainsbury's had a Café) we'd have gone upstairs and had morning coffee.   It feels good to be able to go out in the cat again.    The above photo is the only one I took today;  it was too cold for me to go to the harbour.

19.30  I thought the work at the Ferry Road sub-station would have been finished today but the trench is still  fenced off.   (The photograph was taken yesterday).  I suppose it adds a bit of colour to a photograph.   I'll be able to go for the paper tomorrow and, if it isn't windy and cold, I might visit the harbour.   "Light rain showers and a fresh breeze" is the forecast ... so we can expect sunshine between the showers!   With the wind being fresh it will feel cold!

22.00    Now that I have the car back I can look forward to getting back to normal.   There's still a mobility scooter to organise so that I can go round the villages with the camera again. 
Our 'bucket' routine changes this weekend.   Tomorrow it's the Grey bin (Paper etc), then on Monday we put out the Green bin.   Thereafter the collections will be on Mondays.

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...
