Warm and breezy ...


3rd November 2018 (Saturday) .... 08.30    We had a bonnie, if slightly
Sunrise over Elie Bay.
foreboding, sky at sunrise;   probably a hint that the rain, that’s mentioned in the weather forecast, is on its way!   We’ve had some rain overnight, but going by the minute puddles, not very much.... and, in spite of a brisk breeze, it isn’t cauld.    My plan is to do stuff on the computer today.... but there is one outside job I have to do .... feed ‘Blob’ and Co.

 11.00     The Ferry Town hall Coffee Morning was buzzin’ this morning;   and I bought ‘lunch’, goodies (including three shortbread snowmen) and books .... all vital ingredients for a contented auld age!     It was good to see all the coffee/tea tables seats occupied;   I skipped the coffee and went up to Ivy to make myself a flat white.    The ‘Flat White’ comes in ready mixed sachets and is real coffee.... anything is better than the Hutte Finest Blend.    Jock, taking time out from planting his tubs, was escorting Honor round the stalls.   I am now going to eat the head aff a snowman.   Oh .... there’s rain blowing in the wind, a good day for working on the computer.

17.00    The rain never came to anything so I rook stuff to the re-cycling  place at Woodhaven, and set out to walk round the East Links, but it was too windy... and spitting rain.    The Western sky has been threatening rain all afternoon, but the wind appears to be keeping it, the rain, away.     Although blowing a mini hoolie, it isn’t cauld.
The ‘boy’ had a satisfying couple of hours on the computer before deciding to go to Woodhaven:   in fact  I think I could finish the project I’m on tomorrow.    I had thought of going to the kirk tomorrow morning, but my going to the kirk two Sundays in succession wouldn’t be ‘me’;  I’ll do my ‘pagan’ thing ....  work on the computer.


18.30    Tomorrow is going to be a good drying day so this boy will do a washing first

thing.    For some reason I feel shattered tonight .... early night, in bed with my book, I’m thinkin’.   I don’t know why I’m shattered;  working on the computer isn’t that strenuous.   I suppose I could be straining my brain. ... mind you it wouldn’t take much to do that.    Anyway I’ll have an early night and make tomorrow’s plan in the morning.    I’m off to see what I can find to watch on the tele.

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...
