Bonnie day ....

21st November 2021 (Sunday)     11.00 .... As is normal after a light early


morning frost, we have a beautiful day;  bright and sunny with a light NW breeze.    I mention the light frost because  the moisture on the beach at the beach was frozen, and I couldn’t sit down.    Well I could  have but even I still heat up enough to melt a thin skin of ice.

Before I go to the beach (or out anywhere in the morning) I check the Fife weather cams;  from the Aberdour cam I can see if there’s going to be a visible sunrise.  There was a bank of cloud on the horizon, so sunrise was going to be hidden:  However I realised that the sun would appear above the cloudbank about 20 minutes after sunrise.... so, I went to the beach, and spent an enjoyable and tranquil hour    The sky was never going to be as bonnie as it was yesterday morning but it was bonnie in a quieter way.

When I got back to Ivy I had a cuppa then went for the paper, and came home by way of Chapel Green.  I have had a very pleasant morning.

The new 'Four Winds'.

17.00    I don’t believe it:  I found an ‘Inspector Morse’ episode that I hadn’t seen before;  then fell asleep and missed the last half an hour.    I also found out that it has been raining when I went to make a fresh cuppa, to replace the cold one sitting on the coffee table.  Having said the, the afternoon hasn’t been totally wasted;  I did a wee bit of ‘ooverin’ and thought about dustin’.   No wonder I fall asleep.   This evening I have load of photographs to sort, a paper to read and 'M' to Skype.

19.00    I’ve no plan for tomorrow;  oh... I do;  I’ve got to go to St Andrews with the car in the morning.... so the ‘plan’ is to deliver the car to the garage (11.30), then go to Morrison’s Cafe for a cuppa. 

 The forecast is good for tomorrow... ‘sunny spells with a gentle breeze’;  we’re probably


going to have another day like today.    

For the remainder of the evening I’m going to browse today’s photos to see if I have the ‘one’ photograph that I’m looking for.... the ‘perfect’ one.

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...
