Not a bonnie sunrise .....

28th October 2016 (Friday) .... 09.00     ‘The Boy’ has a washing going through the machine;   because we have a ‘drying day ahead’.    There’s a nice South
Sunrise this morning!
Westerly breeze, (it’s slightly cooler than yesterday), and we are going have ‘bright and sunny’ by midday:  and, I’m feeling ‘perky’ this morning.

I’ve had my early morning walk, now I suppose I should do some ‘work’.   The garden looks dry;  if it is dry, I’m going to potter about out there;  there’s always ‘stuff’ needing pruned etc.    The roses are still flowering ..... which is braw, but I think I should really prune them back for the ‘winter’.
21.30    The gardening I set out to do, ended up with me picking the apples and making an Eve’s Pudding with them.    This is the first time the tree has produced enough fruit to do anything with;   the fact that it produced 24 apples this year has saved it from an early demise,....  and being ‘turned’ into walking sticks.   There are three ‘branches’,  and they would make bonnie walking sticks.    The apples look really nice and edible, but they are not sweet apples.... hence the Eve’s Pudding.     That reminds me, I must
Nice early morning sky over the Golf House Club.
remember to freeze what’s left of the Eve’s pudding.

I’ve had a ‘drab’ sort of day, .... I was feeling like the weather looked.    It has been mostly grey .... and cold today, so, instead of being out in the cold,  I did a lot of inside stuff;   Eve’s Pudding being one of the ‘warm’ inside jobs, and an ironing, that’s been needing done for a couple of days, was the other.    At sunset time I went for a walk up to the Pony Field, and over the golf course.    Wrapped up, as I was, I still felt cold;  however I enjoyed being out in the ‘very fresh’ air. 

We can look forward to a slightly warmer, grey day tomorrow .... well, mostly grey, we
The 'Royal Burgh' after sunset .... yes it was cold!
may get a few bright spells in the East of Fife.    I don’t have any plans ... tomorrow is ‘Day 5’ (of 7) and the pills dictate how I feel ... but I’m going out for a walk at some point in the day.   

I need to find a book to read in bed .... I finished a ‘Wilbur Smith’ one the other night.   I fancy reading ‘Treasure Island’ for some reason, but I can’t find it, though I know it’s somewhere.

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...
