22nd April 2025 (Tuesday)     09.00 .... I must have been tired last night;  I didn't wake up until

07.45!   Anyway I'm vertical (ish) and have been out as far as the gate.    It's a bright and breezy morning, with a chilly Westerly breeze at the moment; in fact a good morning for biking, and I intend going out once the air has warmed up.   I need a cuppa.   Oops ....  I sneezed.   I'd better make that cuppa and take the pills!

20.30    I don't know what I did yesterday that made me so tired, but I'm still tired.   That said I have biked up to Chapel Green twice today;  so I will most likely sleep in tomorrow morning.   It has been a really nice sunny and warm day:  at least it was, until the wind backed to the Easterly, early in the afternoon, and we ended up with a chilly breeze off the sea.  I was at Chapel Green both morning and afternoon.

After my morning visit to Chapel Green I had morning coffee on the patio;  my word it was cosy.   It was 18C in the shade, I don't know what it was out in the open, in the sunshine, but it was hot!  Unfortunately it was much cooler by the middle of the afternoon.   I abandoned the patio and watched the snooker.... well some of it;  as usual I had an afternoon siesta, and slept for about an hour.   I'm going to bed early tonight.

Tomorrow is going to be another bright day but, with the wind being from the East it will be cool on the beach.   I might venture out on the bike if it isn't too cold, and I'm feeling fitter.   Another hot shower should ease the aching muscles.   The only thing I can think of is;  I carried a bag of messages up from the parking space at the Toon Hall, and I was well shattered when I got into Ivy.   Luckily two vehicles had moved by the time I'd got my breath back;  and I brought the car round to Ivy to unload the rest of the messages.   This was all my own fault;  when I left Methil I thought the work vans would all be gone by the time I got home, but I was wrong.   I am a silly boy;  at least I got a good night's sleep out of it!

Although the joggers are no longer around we still have plenty folk here on holiday, as I found out when
up at Chapel green this morning.   Lots of people to talk to.   I might have my morrrrrning coffee at Chapel Green tomorrow.    No I won't;  the wind is going to be Easterly.  It's Horlicks time.

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...

4th January 2024 (Saturday)    09.15 .... The car windscreens is clear, the washing I left out Shona huggin' a huge Kilbrackmont tree! overnight is flapping about in the breeze, and my breathing easier.   The sky is mostly cloudy just now, but our weather forecast for today is "sunny intervals with a gentle breeze".    There's a Yellow Warning for snow active from midnight tonight through to midday on Monday;  though I imagine it will more likely be sleet, or rain,  for us.   'Sunny Sussex' and most of the South of England is covered by an Amber Warning for snow today, so most of the UK is likely to see snow at some point over the next few days. 20.00    Although not the best of drying days the washing was nearly dry by the end of the afternoon.   Earlier in the afternoon I'd gone to Methil to annoy Alice.  We had a cuppa before going shopping.  We went to Sainsbury's they have 'everything' and are trying ...
