Light frost ....

10th December 2021 (Friday)     12..30 .... there was frost on the


car windscreen first thing so I didn’t go for the paper until mid morning;  scraping the windscreen has never been one of my favourite jobs.   I did have a walk on the beach at sunrise time, though there was never going to be a visible sunrise;  nevertheless I enjoyed the walk.

When I eventually went for the paper, I had to visit the harbour, even knowing it would be cold down there.  By this time it was a lovely morning, and there was warmth in the sun, but the light breeze took a couple of degrees off the warmth.   I didn’t linger, and came home by way of Ardross Farm Shop, Balbuthie Loan and Kinneuchar.


19.00    It has been a bonnie day, but a cool one.   I have done some work around Ivy.... including the ironing, and finishing writing the Christmas cards that have to be posted.    Jings .... it disnae take much to make me tired nowadays.   What I have done today hasn’t been that tiring, but I am well ready to settle down in front of the tele with my mug of chocolate.

I have still to have a practice shot at a Lateral Flow test;  I must do that tomorrow.   I’d do it now but I’m too tired and my brain is in rest mode.   Nothing new there;  it’s in rest mode most of the time.    Oh I must tell you.   I have a book of 200 Hard Soduko puzzles, with every 20th one being Super Hard.   I’ve been leaving them  (the SH ones) because they require a different kind of thinking.   Anyway today I decided to do one of them.... and I found the key (which will be much the same on all the SH ones).   I am a happy bunny. 

The weather forecast for KY9 tomorrow is;  ‘light rain and a moderate breeze’ .... which


explains the raw feel to the air when I was out at the bucket a few minutes ago.   If that is how it turns out I should catch up with sorting all the photographs I have taken recently;  and finish writing local Christmas cards.

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...
