Damp morrrrrrrrrning....

7th November 2022 (Monday)   10.45 .... We have an overcast and wet start

'Eva Schulte'.

to the day.... bit should brighten up in the afternoon.   I have been for the paper and down to the harbour, and you will all be happy to know that everything is where it should be.... but wet.   I remembered the paper!

The crock pot has been fired up;  and loaded ‘up tae the eyeballs’ with Scotch Broth.    This is a different recipe from the last one.... it has everything in it:  probably even the plug of the kitchen sink. ... ‘cos I cannae find it.  I’ll have another look when I’m making the morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee.   I've been a busy boy and well deserve a 'coffee break'.

19.00   I eventually gave up trying to go to the beach with the camera;  both times I set of it started to rain before I’d gone 50 yards.   However I did find a long enough dry spell to cut back another bush;  o the day hasn’t been a total loss.  

From the archive.

The latest batch of ‘Scotch Broth’ is tasty... and there’s a lot of it.  Oh... and the sink plug isnae in it.... I found it under my cereal bowl.   I won’t have to make broth for a while,  ‘cos I have 7 individual containers for the freezer from today’s batch.  That reminds me I'd better fill the containers, to give them time to cool off.

22.00    I’ve been watching an interesting programme about Ancient Egypt; so television hasn’t been a total waste of an invention.  It’s mainly used nowadays for propaganda purposes.....advertising and stuff like that.  

Tomorrow is an important day;   I’m getting my haircut.   That’s at 12.30; now I’m

Pittenweem.

thinking of buying a couple o’ scones and visiting Shona after lunch time.  I’m thinkin’ that would be a good ‘plan’ for tomorrow.   I regularly buy scones, then get diverted and have to eat them myself:  I’m wearing a lot o’ scones.

‘Light cloud and a fresh breeze’ is our weather for tomorrow which is an improvement on what we had today.   Today’s weather did not agree with my breathing tubes.

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...
