Lovely sunrise ....

8th October 2022 (Saturday)     09.15 ....We had a spectacular sunrise this


morrrrrrrrning;   not a good omen but awfie bonnie.   It was quiet on the beach, in fact I think the lassie from Turret Lodge and I were the only two on the beach at first.   There’s a cauld breeze from the NW so you have to wrap up well;  it will be warm once the sun is higher.  At long last I am feeling ‘almost bright eyed and bushy tailed’... another day and I’ll be back to normal.   I had hoped to go and see Alice this morning (before she goes on holiday) but I don’t want to give her this bug: it would spoil her holiday.   That said, it isn’t a particularly bad ‘cold’ just discomforting.



16.30    I’ve definitely been friskier today;  I did a wee bit o’ work and, as it has been a bonnie day, I’ve been to the beach twice.  Only to sit on a seat I hasten to add.... nae wanderin’ along the beach, or stuff like that.   The beach was busy;  right enough it was a lovely afternoon.... and we were all enjoying it.


 20.00   The forecast for tomorrow isn’t exciting.... just when I’m ready to frolic.   ‘Strong winds and heavy rain’ is the forecast but it might be not too bad first thing.   It’s not going to be a biking day.   I have a number of ‘projects’ ongoing so I’ll pick up on one of them.   Actually I think the ‘Ferry Lodge’ building work is going to be starting soon, so, with that being topical, I’ll work on my drawing of the back of the houses (as they were in 1947) that were demolished.   Yes that’s the plan for next week when Alice is away on holiday.   With me havin’ this cold I haven’t seen her since Tuesday.... I was at the Friendship Lunch on Wednesday, and the cold kicked in on Thursday.

I’m going to see if I can find anything to watch on the tele for the remainder of the

'Jura' - Fisheries Protection vessel.

evening....there’s bound to be something interesting to watch.   I know the Michael Portillo and his ‘Bradshaw’s train journeys are on.   I’ve seen them all before but they are interesting.... and there’s always something you missed the first time round.

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...
