Bright and breezy ....

1st October 2021 (Friday)     11.00 ....  we have a ’bright and breezy’ day, with


the chance of a squally shower.   I have a washing on the line;  if the showers miss us the washing should dry quickly.   

I’ve been for the papers and down at the harbour .... where I met Stuart;   and discovered that I didn’t have a camera with me.    I louped back intae the car and was back at Ivy, getting the bike out, in ‘nae time’;  got the bike out, to go to  Chapel Green and get the photos I wanted.

Since then I have been to Ardross to do a shopping;  now all I have to do is make up Iain’s bed.   And run round wi’ the ‘oover...maybe even do some dustin’.


14.00     Keeping an eye on the weather, so that the washing disnae get soaked, has turned me into me “bag o’ nerves”.     The washing is nearly dry so I’d be wery annoyed if it got soaked. ....and, the clouds are fast moving.    I have been doing other things;   making up Iain’s bed is the ongoing job just now;  and drinking numerous, nerve calming cuppas.    It’s actually a bonnie day in between showers, but it is breezy.

20.30    Iain arrive at 17.30 so I put a couple of ready meals (Ardross) into the oven;  we’ve had food,  had a run along to ‘The Store’, and will now settle down for the night.    I am tired.... bed making used to be an easy job..... it still is really;  but I tire quicker.    Early to bed tonight,....ready for the journey to Auchnagatt.    The main packing has been done.... the camera;   I guess I’d better pack some clothes now.   I’m only going up


for a few days... and taking the bike.   The forecast for here and Auchnagatt is .... ‘light rain showers and a moderate breeze’.

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...
