Snow showers ....

8th December 2022 (Thursday)    08.30. ....I was going down to the beach


but a snow shower came over ..... so I put the kettle ‘on’.   The snow didn’t last long but cameras don’t like snow.   I’ll either go for a run in the car, once the sun breaks through,  or go to the beach if the snow showers aren’t too bothersome.   The showers are forecast to peter out by 10.23.... morrrrrrrrning coffee’ time.



17.15    I’ve enjoyed a lazy day;  mostly because it has been too cold to go out.... except in the car.   I fell asleep watching the tele and missed the ‘Drop In Cafe’;  and I’d been looking forward to that.    Myra phoned (from Edinburgh) and told me that she has injured her knee:  and this is her birthday.   I’m not sure of the actual date but it is this week sometime so....“Happy Birthday Myra”.;  enjoy your time with  ‘the troops’.    

'Loganair' plane.
At the moment it looks like being a cold night;  there’s frost on top of the car already.  ‘Blob’ has been fed at regular intervals today;  I must remember to break the ice on the water trough for him tomorrow morning..... if we do have a frosty night.   I’m having a migraine as I type  so that will take care of my activities for the evening;  most of the evening will be spent writing Christmas cards;  and watching something on the tele.   I’m not keen on this cold weather.


21.30    There seems to be a bit of mist coming in, and it isn’t frosty at the moment;  that said it isn’t warm either.   I found all that out when I went out to close the gate.   Tomorrow I must try to get ‘fired up’ and do some ‘work’ things.    The stamps I ordered from Royal Mail were delivered today;  and the SSAFA Christmas cards were despatched a couple of days ago so they should arrive tomorrow.   It will be all go after that.

The  Yellow warning (snow and ice) applying to Fife, has been extended until Sunday at


midday;  that means it’s going to be cold.   This does not have me loupin’ aboot wi’  joy.  

With the weather being as it is I have ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow other than go for the paper.   I hope to feel mair active than I have done today.   I’m orf to make a hot chocolate ... no ... change of plan... a Janice toddie before bedtime.

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...
