Nice morning .....

27th November 2022 (Sunday)     07.30 .... The weather forecast for KY9

Kinneuchar Station circa 1960.

today is...... 3 minute pause..... “a good drying day”!    In weather forecaster words;  “Sunny intervals with a fresh breeze”.    I’m looking forward to a bonnie day and, although feeling frisky, I intend pottering around Ivy most of the day.   I slept for nearly 7 hours (unbroken sleep) last night so must still be tired.... so this is another ‘rest day’.  Actually I might try to join the kirk service online;  I haven't been able to do that for a while.

15.30    The weather has been kind today;  my washing is dry and ready to iron.  I might do the ironing after this update.  Derek phoned to say he and Eileen  were going to visit  Alan and Jean (my brother and his wife who live in Coalsnaughton) tomorrow and would I like to have my Christmas cards delivered.   It took me all of two seconds to accept his offer... so I have been writing


Christmas cards.   Not a job that was in ‘the plan’ but then; neither was the migraine that kicked in at 11.00.... so I have written my first Christmas cards of the season!   With all that happening I didn’t join the kirk service but will do so on YouTube sometime this evening; and the migraine has curtailed my outdoor activities a bit so I haven’t been out with the camera.   However I enjoyed watching HMS Pinafore (English National Opera);  a change from football.... and might have a wee walk at sunset time.  

20.30   I’m feeling brighter tonight;  the migraine having annoyed me for the whole day.   And, I don’t think I mentioned this at the time, but a couple of days ago, when out on the bike, I ‘pranged’ my back and it has been bothering me too.    However I’m starting to ‘plan’ things again, and that’s always a good sign.   Tomorrow will be another ‘take it easy’ day...however, I might venture roond the Ferry on the bike to test my back.

I had a wee browse through some of the Owlbert Archive to find photographs for today.  

Pre 1947 Ferry Corner.

I did have the camera out in the garden but that’s building works and not very interesting, as things are, at the moment. I’m keeping a record for local history purposes; which also is why I photograph all the renovations and building work going on around The Ferry.

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

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
