Bonnie but cauld on the lugs ....

 

22nd November 2020 (Sunday)      10.00 .... my word we do have a cracker


of a mornin’, but there is a brisk breeze and it isn’t warm.   I went for the paper early.... and bought two papers;  The Observer (to read the news, articles and comments) , and the Sunday Post ‘cos I fancied havin’ a look at ‘Oor Wullie and The Broons’.  From the ‘paper shop’ I had my daily  visit to the harbour to catch the sunrise.   It wisnae a spectacular sunrise but it was bonnie    I had the harbour to myself.

When I got back to Ivy I thought I’d go to the beach to get a few early morning photos:   I was pleasantly surprised to find the ‘Blue Tit’s’ swimmers going in for their morning dip.... I counted 12 heads in the water.  I can’t say that it is  warm this morning  .... but I can say that “it is all good at the Centre of the Universe”.

Local swimmers going for their morning 'dook'.

21.30     ‘The Boy’ (that’s me) has had a productive and enjoyable day.    I spent a lot of time in the kitchen creating a wee stock of ‘ready meals’;   only got to go to Ardross for some ingredients and I’ll be stocked up for the festive season.   I also managed to do a fair amount on the computer, and take time out to visit the harbour late in the afternoon:  I can’t resist an interesting sky.   The harbour was busier in the afternoon;  in the morning I have it all to myself. 

I managed to start watching one of the old films on ‘81’;  it was just a short film but I fell asleep and missed the end of it.    Sometimes I have to watch a long film three times just to see the whole thing once.

Tomorrow looks like being another ‘nae bad’ day.... in the morning anyway:  There’s a

Late afternoon at the COTU.

chance of light rain moving in later in the afternoon....and it’s going to be cool in the brisk wind.

Nae plan for tomorrow;  I have a lot of things going on just now and do whichever I feel like doing.    I am considering making a start to Maggie’s china cabinet on Tuesday;  that’s a big job and one that I involves washing crystal etc:  I’m not keen on washing  delicate glasses.

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

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 time to spare   Janice was dropped off near a shopping centre, and Michael went wi
