Early frost ....

18th April 2017 (Tuesday) .... 08.30    It is a lovely morning, (after an early frost), but there is a layer of thin cloud that needs burning off before we get some warm

sunshine.    I’ll get the bike out, after the sun gets going!    
I haven't  formulated a plan for today .... apart from an appointment at St Andrews later in the afternoon.    However, after breakfast I’ll load up  the  car boot with shopping bags etc, ready for a shopping session (small)... probably at Morrison’s.   

  22.30     We’ve had a lovely day in the East Neuk .... it was 12c in the garden around midday .... it was so hot that Jimmy and I nearly had an attack of ‘the mauchless’;  we were sitting in the Hutte.    The temperature inside the Hutte was 24c;   I had to open the door.
In the morning we went out for a short run along to St Monans then up to Arncroach in
Elie from "Nana's Seat"
the Fiesta to find out where funny noises were emanating from:  they came from the tools, which were fixed metal to metal, and rattling like the clappers.    That’s sorted.    ‘She’, the car, goes into the garage to be checked over on Monday morning.
The afternoon was taken up with the trip up to St Andrews;   that was a successful mission, as my PSA levels are continuing to fall:   I go back in three months for another check.

I can’t believe that we’re going to have another General Election!   This means we’ll have to go through seven weeks of promises being made  that won’t be kept, and all of that kind of stuff .... again.     Oh....  I think I’ve sorted out why President Trump and Kim Jong- un are so grumpy, and threatening war .... it’s their hair!    Both of them could do with a better hairstyle:   they would then feel better about themselves .... and

 be able to concentrate on  the beauty, that is all around them, on this Planet of ours!    That’s those two sorted out!

Our weather is forecast to be ‘cloudy but dry’ and warmer with the chance of sunny spells later in the morning.    I might get the bike out first thing, and go up for the papers!

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...
