Breezy ....


1st February 2020 (Saturday)     09.30 .... we've had a wild windy night
Kinneuchar loch and kirk.
and it is windy still, with the threat of rain.... not a great day for being out and I have no intention of going out.   I am feeling brighter this morning but intend staying in and warm;  I have plenty to do on the computer.... and there’s always ‘ousework .... no ... I won’t bother with that.  

18.00    I’ve had a restful day... so restful that I nearly forgot the rugby.   Luckily Michael phoned to remind me that Scotland were playing Ireland and the kick off was about to happen;  I was in full ‘flap on’ mode at the time:  I couldn’t find the phone (which was eventually found on my bedside table) the tautties were boiling over and the kettle had just boiled.   Having found the  phone I was able to answer it on Michael’s the fourth attempt to get through to me, and I fired up the tele and have been watching the rugby .... Ireland is leading 13-6.
Kincraig cliffs - Earlsferry.
19.00    Ireland won 19 – 12 in the end.... and I guess they deserved to win what was a bit of a battle;  Scotland gave away too many penalties in the second half:  I am tired after all that and will be in bed early again tonight.
Tomorrow is going to be another ‘stay in and warm’ day for the boy.... working on the computer.    There is ‘ousework things I could do but I’m not in the mood for that yet.   The camera has never been in my hands today so I am going to browse and find a couple from a few years ago to brighten up the Hutte.

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...
