Bonnie morning......

27th February 2025 (Thursday)     08.00 .... We have a bright and sunny, albeit frosty, morning. 

A morning for going out.   There's a touch of rime on the car windscreen, but the sun should get rid of that before I need the car;  and only breath of a breeze so it could be warm in the sun.  I might take a turn roond the 'Ferrie' (Kinneuchar Kirk Session spelling) on the bike, ....if it's warm enough in the middle of the day.

19.15    I went round the 'Ferrie' and up to the Pony Field on the bike; it was like having a new set o' legs.   The ability to stop wherever I want, which I can't do  with car.... absolutely magic.   Of course the weather has been perfect today;  oh that reminds me \i have a washing to bring in!  Slight 'Flap on' for the next five minutes!     10 minutes later.... I'm back!   And it's cauld oot there.   Could be frosty tomorrow morning.   Anyway that's the washing in and dangling in front of a radiator.    Now where was I?   Yes.... out on the bike.   It was brilliant and I hope the weather stays kind for a while so that I can get out (and get fitter) regularly.   Some corners of my lungs got oxygen that they haven't had for weeks!

What else did I do today?   My appointment at the Surgery!   I got all the answers that I wanted to hear;  except about the hearing aid, and that was because I forgot to mention it.   I'll phone Pauline tomorrow to find out what the next step is!

21.30    My face feels like it's got a touch of sunburn!   I suppose it might have because the sun has been seriously lacking for the past few weeks.   However, it looks like we are going to have a few sunny days in succession, so I should get out on the bike a few times;  I'm looking forward to that.... but it takes at least two weeks for the leg muscles to get back into a reasonably fit state after being off the bike for a while.  Let's hope we get a decent Spring and Summer this year.

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.  ...
