'Red sky in the morrrrrrrrrrrrning' etc .....

11th October 2022 (Tuesday)     09.30 .... Sunrise time on the beach was


spectacular this morrrrrrrning;  if you like a red sky i.e.  The weather forecast isn’t ‘bad’; ‘light cloud with a moderate breeze’ being the forecast for KY9.   The ‘plan’ is to go out on the bike when the air warms up;  which will be after breakfast and morrrrning coffee time.    Orf to put the kettle ‘on’ ... again.






15.00   So far today the air hasn’t warmed up enough very much so I haven’t been out on the bike.   I went to Barnett’s (in the car), to get a couple o’ scones, planning to visit Shona (on the bike) but that plan is on hold;  right now I’m having a cuppa and thinking of putting the bike battery on charge.   The problem is;  what do I do with the scones?   Of course.... scoff them and buy fresh ones on the day I do go to Kinneuchar!   Then again I could loup intae the car, with the scones?   Decisions?.... I am

not good at decisions!   I’ll have that cuppa.  
I never cease to amaze me;  over the past three weeks or so I have bought scones three times anticipating visiting Shona;  and had the pleasure of eating 6 scones, thickly layered wi’ butter and strawberry jam, in The Hutte!.... sharing scone crumbs wi' Blob.   Diet?



20.00    I’ve had a good day potterin’ around Ivy.... most of the time trying to in the Hutte sorting out sketch pads.   It’s interesting browsing old sketch pads, with many with long forgotten sketches for ‘projects’..... including the project that I’m working on.   I’m a happy and contented boy tonight.

Slight moan.    I notice that we can now buy foodstuffs without ‘Best By’ dates on them; now I'm wondering if ‘Best Buy’ dates were ‘invented’ to con people into throwing edible food


away;  human greed knows no bounds when it comes to ripping people off to make money for investors. ‘Rip Off Britain’ (ROB) right enough. Moan over.

There’s no ‘plan’ for tomorrow though the weather forecast is pretty much the same as today’s was.... though it could be ‘damp’ first thing.   I don’t suppose there’s much to see on the tele but I’ll go and have a browse through the Channels.

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...
