Chilly wind ....

17th November 2021 (Wednesday)   10.00 .... We had another lovely sunrise


time sky this morning.... but, my word, there’s a noticeable drop in the temperature, with a frisky wind to add wind chill.... so it’s cold.   It’s definitely a ‘wrap up well’ day.

I’ve done the paper run (and got the paper), caught the sunrise sky from various favourite spots, met Irene at the ‘paper shop’.... and had breakfast.   I planned to up through Elie Estate but decided to leave that until later.   That said, the sky is clouding over so ‘later’ might be tomorrow.... maybe Sunday.    I see spots o' rain on the window so it's a computer/book/tele/maybe even some 'ousework) day.   I think it's only a passing shower.... not a spell of rain. 


19.30    We have had a nice enough day;  sunny with clouds masking the sun now and again, but bonnie.    It has been cold all day.... and breezy.    I saw Stewart at the harbour this morning and he told me that the estate road “wisnae bad” .... so I did the ‘estate run’ after lunch.    The road was a lot drier than I expected it to be... and covered in a carpet of leaves.   At the usual muddy places the leaves were soggy, but it was braw hearing the sound of the dry leaves crunching, when I biked through them.  

Myra phoned this afternoon, to tell me the sad, and shocking news, that a friend of ours, Mike (Wilson) has died.    Mike had been in hospital (Edinburgh) for the past few weeks with COVID.   My thoughts are with Mike’s wife Janet, and family at this sad time.   Although I hadn’t seen Mike for a few months, he  always had happy ‘comments’ to make about my photographs.    Social media, when used properly, is good for keeping in touch.   I shall miss Mike.... and his ‘comments’.  

I have had a pleasant day.... and got a fair amount of exercise.    The ‘plan’ for tomorrow


is to arrange an appointment to have my haircut, take the car through the car wash (it goes for its MOT on Monday)... and probably do a wee shopping in the ‘Cheap Shop’ when in Leven.   It is forecast to be warmer tomorrow.... up to 15C in places (out of the wind) so I hope to get out in the afternoon.    Right now it’s time to browse the tele Channels.

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...
