Peaceful morrrrning .....

30th January 2022 (Sunday)    10.30 ....The IPSUM Team are finishing of the


Ferry Corner roadworks this morning, so everything will be back to normal today.   It’s a bonnie day.... after a glorious sunrise, albeit a ‘red sky in the mornin’ one.   It was really calm and peaceful on the beach at sunrise time;  however that is forecast to change later, when Storm Corrie moves across us.  It’s morrrrning coffee time.




15.30    I ‘went’ to the kirk (online);  it’s not the same as meeting in the actual kirk, but online suits me.   I can have coffee/tea during the service... and have a ‘comfort break’ .... well in comfort.    I enjoyed the Sermon today;  bringing the natural world into the service is a brilliant idea.... and whales are fascinating animals.   The fact that we are studying them now, after bringing most of the species to the brink extinction, shows that there is ‘Hope’ for Mother Earth after all.  Of course there is always the problem of human greed:  when the whale population has recovered, there will be people who think it’s time to restart commercial whaling operations again.   Sad.   Anyway I enjoyed today’s sermon.


I made venison pie for lunch;  and ....when I woke up (I was watching something on the tele) I noticed that it has been raining, the wind is freshening, and the sky is looking ominous towards the Northwest.  The Ivy hatches have been battened and I shall ‘put the kettle on’ and settle down in front of the tele again.   We are on the southern edge of Storm Corrie;  hopefully we will miss the worst of it.



18.30    It’s a dreich kind of evening, with wind and rain.  The wind is freshening but is forecast to moderate by tomorrow morning.  I’m glad of that because I am going to Cupar tomorrow afternoon.

The Ferry Road sewer repair has been finished and the patch resurfaced; however, I noticed that the two way traffic system is still in operation, with Ferry Road ‘Closed’ to traffic top and bottom.   (Well.... it was until someone shifted the cones).    I suppose, legally the two way system is still operational, until 16.00 on the 31st, according to the


letter we got.  It’s a different company that responsible for setting up the cones etc.   Must ‘go’ slight flap on;  must find something to eat.   Puku is feeling neglected.

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
