Quiet morning ....

22nd August 2022 (Monday)    07.30 .... the day has started quietly with a


light breeze off the North Sea;   this has brought in a bank of cloud so we are waiting for the sun do burn the cloud back to give us sunny spells.... though it might be mid morning before that happens.   Unfortunately the weather forecast is for us to have light rain with a gentle breeze in the afternoon.   

13.45    Michael and Janice decided to go to Cupar to browse the shops, so I tagged along.   On the way up we ran into steady, but light, rain and so it was in Cupar:  not heavy enough to get soaked but annoying when trying to take a few photos.   Janice didn’t find anything to buy in the shops, in fact she wasn’t that impressed with Cupar.   Right enough Cupar on a wet day ain’t pretty.  The only shops that we  bought stuff in were Fisher and Donaldson’s;  we hoped to sit in and have a cuppa but Staff shortages meant the Cafe bit was closed.   This was the ‘in town shop’ not the ‘Factory’;  we could see that the 'Factory Cafe'  was open when we passed by on the way home via Ceres.


20.30    The ‘Troops’ walked to Lower Largo in the afternoon;  I had a catnap, then made Macaroni Cheese for dinner.... and timed it perfectly as everything was ready to scoff 20 minutes after they arrived back at Ivy.  On the way to Lower Largo they walked through Dumbarnie Golf Course;  I must bike across there when it is quieter.

Michael washed the windows with the ‘new toy’ that he bought me the other day;  since having a virus I have dizzy turns now and again.... not handy when climbing steps ladders.   Anyway I’ll now be able to wash the windows on a regular basis.   Janice told me that she has one of those extending arm things for the windows at home in Sussex;  and it’s never been out of the packet!

It hasn’t been the bonniest o’ days,.... though it did brighten up for a wee while in the early evening.    It looks like we are in for a spell o’ rain now.   Tomorrow should be brighter, but it is forecast to be cloudy in the morning.    It’s Janice’s birthday (tomorrow);  Michael will have something planned for


her.... but I don’t know what’s happening.

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...
