Damp morning ....

25th January 2022 (Tuesday)     263rd Anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns.

 07.30 .... It looks like we’ve had a light shower o’ rain overnight;  the sky is heavily


overcast, but rain isn’t mentioned in the forecast.  The Fife weather cams are different shades of grey just now;  sunrise is at 08.18.   I’ll have a wander to the beach after another cuppa.

08.30    It’s looking rather murky out so the beach ‘mission’ has been cancelled;  it’s more of an ‘ousework kind o’ day.     I’ll do some ‘ooverin’ and dustin’ then work in the kitchen.  Actually I’ll start by making rice pudding, as have a load of milk, then do the O and D.   Must ‘go’ slight ‘flap on’ now.

21.00    Going by the sky at sunset tomorrow is going to be a bonnie day.... however the forecast is for ‘cloud with strong winds’.  Funnily enough, even though today was a grey day I actually enjoyed myself.    I did all the things I ‘planned’ to do;  bit of ‘ousework,  made a few ready meals for the freezer.... and went to the harbour (in the car) via the two way system in the Ferry.   I had the harbour to myself until Mr ‘B’ (Steve) appeared, out for his afternoon exercise .... in his car, so he was able to tell me that the temperature was 6.5C:  with wind chill it was colder.  To me every day is a day for the camera;  grey days happen and have to be photographed.

Tomorrow is the St Monans ‘walk’ ... at 10.00.   I might go for a pre walk chat, but won’t do the walk... I am too slow, and stop a lot;  St Monans is camera friendly.   Jings I am boring.   


I have been reading about AI (artificial Intelligence) taking over from humans;  you know... driverless cars, no check outs in supermarkets etc.    One day they (the boffins) might come up with a robotic AI politician;  imagine politicians that only worked for the benefit of the country.   No.... I think I am hallucinatin’: that would never be allowed to happen.

After a happy day I am off to make the chocolate.   Stay safe.

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
