Calm morning....


22nd August 2019 (Thursday)      07.00 ....  There’s a  nice peaceful ‘feel’
Kinneuchar loch this morning.

 to this morning;  I think I’m feelin’ romantic.... or something.    We have a few clouds around but it looks like being a long sunny spells kind of morning:  rain is forecast for later in the afternoon, so the ‘plan’ is to play in the morning;,  then  sleep .... oops I mean ‘work’ in the afternoon.
09.00   My word .... it is a cracker o’ a mornin’ and I have enjoyed a really good bumble up to Kinneuchar, then home through the Estate, stopping to admire the new work shed that Stewart now works out of/in:  I had to go that way because there was a lorry unloading stuff at the new house being built next to George’s residential HQ.    I got some good loch photographs.... at least I think they should be good, but I haven’t sorted them out yet. 
Quiet corner of the loch.
Must ‘go’.... slight panic ‘on’ this morning;  it’s Janice’s Birthday tomorrow and I have to post her card.  In fact I have to buy it:  I have a card in the house but it’s more suitable for ‘JB’ than Janice.    For some obscure reason I always think Janice’s birthday is on the 26th (Aug).  This means that I’m probably missing someone’s birthday that is on the 26th!   That’s ma boy.


16.00    The panic situation was solved.... though I wouldn’t say ‘nae bother’.   Ian advised using the PO in Anstruther, so I promptly ‘bought and wrote’ then bumbled along to Anstruther;  it should be in Uckfield ‘ra morra’.     Happy bunny again.    I enjoyed morning coffee in Harbour House. 
19.30    The rain arrived as predicted, but it is forecast to clear away overnight:  tomorrow’s weather for our area is .... ‘sunny intervals with a fresh wind’:    could be a
 good drying day.   I don’t have anything ‘planned’ for tomorrow, but if it’s bonnie first thing I’ll go out on the bike early,.... go to Harbour House, then potter around
A few of the lochside houses.
Ivy for the remainder of the day.  Maybe even the weekend.

 I am really chuffed with the photographs I got of the loch over that past couple of days:  I had a browse through them (178) this afternoon.    They’ll give me something to ‘play’ with on a cold winter night.   When I think about I must have more than 500 ‘Kinneuchar loch photographs taken over the past few months.    Over the years?..... a lot.    Did I mention winter? ..... forget that;  it’s going to be warm, hot even, this weekend.    Sunny Sussex is going to be really warm.... a chance of 30c.

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...
