Grey start to the day ....


19th September 2019 (Thursday)      07.00 .... Hmmmm, we have a dull
Kinneuchar kirk tower.
start to the day.... a heavily overcast sky with a light westerly breeze.    Actually it’s not cold, and it is dry, so, once the sun and the light westerly gets going, we could have a ‘sunny intervals with a light breeze’ day.    Yes... that would do.
I’m having a lazy day but I may get the bike out later.... if the sun does break through;   In the meantime I’ll ‘play’ on the computer.


20.30    We had a red sunset sky tonight;  tomorrow should be a good drying day and I have a washing needing to be done.   But .... forget the washing;  when I was going through the estate I noticed that the rhododendrons are being cut back right to the edge of the loch;  there will be new views of the loch... and kirk.   Now I’m looking forward to seeing how much Stewart is going to cut back!

The renovated Kinneuchar Inn.
What have I got do tomorrow anyway?     I’ll make a ‘plan’ when having morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse.   Before going for ‘MC’ I’ll get the bedding out on the line.   My word I am going to be a busy boy.

My ‘playing on the computer’ was successful today;  I found out when the person that I was searching for had died (1865).   Only one more piece to clear up and I’ll have all I need.

Must ‘go’ ... slight flap on;  the spider that was spinning a web outside the window is
The Toft - Elie.
actually working inside the window.   That is about to change;  and it ain't me that's moving out!

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...
