Bonnie, frosty morning .....

28th February 2025 (Friday)    08.30 ..... It's a lovely morning, albeit frosty with some mist

blowing around, but it looks like being a bonnie day, once the misty stuff clears away.   There's thick fog at Lochgelly.   After my exertions yesterday this is going to be a 'rest day' though I might bike 'roond the Ferrie' when it's warmer.   At the moment the auld bones are slightly miffed at being hauled oot o' their comfortable, horizontal, bed!   Vertical isn't good!

20.00    It has been another, lovely sunny day.   There has been (and there still is)  a cool breeze, but it was warm enough for me to get the bike out and force my  legs to pedal up to Chapel Green.   They (my legs) were stiff after yesterdays exercise, and had to be exercised today, and every day that the weather is suitable, until they are 'fit for purpose'.   That normally takes about 14 days.  Anyway I'm enjoying the exercise, even though it is sair on the legs.   (I've got skinny legs and arms;  it's the bit in between that's the problem!)

The view from Chapel Green always looks marvellous;  especially so on a sunny day.    There were a few people out walking;  like me they were warmly dressed to keep out the chilly breeze.   The original intention was to repeat yesterday's run, but I skipped the Pony Field bit because I was desperately in need of ...er ... a comfort break.   I left the bike out thinking that I might go out later but, with the sun getting lower in the sky the air was cooling fast so I put the bike in the shed.   The weather over the next few days is forecast to be 'good'  so I should get out, and go further, before the weather breaks.  If the weather breaks!   You never know this may be the start of a long spell of good Spring weather.

22.45    Oh Dear!   Isn't it marvellous watching history being made on live television?    I mean ....You couldn't make up what happened in the Oval Office today!   Then again I suppose we shouldn't really be surprised;  neither of the two  Presidents are diplomats.... and it showed.   One thing we do know;  there will be frenzied diplomatic activity all around Europe tonight, trying to come up with a united 'front' before the big European Leaders meeting in London on Sunday.

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...

The morning after 'Storm Eowyn' ....

25th  January 2025 (Saturday)     08.30 .....  Well .... that was one frisky wind yesterday Candlelight evening....Unfortunately not a romantic one! afternoon;   from 14.30 to 17.30 it was absolutely ferocious.    And I got some damage at Ivy Cottage;  a ridge tile blew off, slid down the roof and broke the rhone (guttering I thinks it's called now) so that will have to be repaired.  A Red Warning of wind means damage and that's what we have;  not only at Ivy but at other places around Elie and Earlsferry.... and over the whole area of the red Warning.   I only hope no one was injured by stuff being blown around in the wind.    It's the worst wind I have ever experienced in Earlsferry.   I have never felt so useless .... and helpless.    My neighbour Mathew came round to see if I was OK.... which I really appreciated;  I enjoyed talking to him.... it calmed me down a bit.  ...
