Quiet morning ....

9th January 2023 (Monday)    07.45 ....I’m vertical and rarin’ to go but,


although the forecast for KY9 is .... 17.5 second pause ... is .... “sunny intervals and a moderate breeze”,  we had light drizzle earlier.   I don’t think it (the drizzle) will feature much in our weather today;   I’m already looking forward to sunny intervals:  Sunrise is at 08.39.  

09.45   There’s a cool, wintry feel to the air (wind chill) so it’s a wrap up well day;   I’ve been down at the harbour but will pick up the paper later in the morning.... I need to go to Ardross Farm Shop.   That said, I’ve had a migraine since the last update so this will be a rest day.... I'll do Ardross once the pills kick in.


16.00    I had a successful mission to Ardross Farm Shop;  to celebrate I bought a Fruit Loaf.   Five slices o’ that will take care of my fruit intake for today.   I now have all the ingredients for Scotch Broth and Cottage pies.   I’ll make the Scotch Broth tomorrow.... and the Cottage Pies on Wednesday.   In fact, when I think about it I could do both tomorrow:  using the crock pot for the broth and pans for the Cottage pies.   There’s a good chance of us having rain tomorrow and that means a good day for working in the kitchen.

A ‘migraine day’, such as I’ve had today, means a lot of sleeping because of the pills) so this has been a good rest day.

20.00    I’ve had a reasonable day.... but a migraine takes the wind oot o’ ma sails there’s no denying that.   I’ll have my mug o’ chocolate, and get away to bed about 21.00.   I’m looking forward to getting the crock pot going early tomorrow.    I might prepare the vegetables before going to bed.....I’ll only need one of the two huge carrots at Ardross today.

The Prince Harry interview on ITV last night was interesting;  (he has released another


three interviews, in the USA since last night.... all to do with the launch of his book ‘Spare’, tomorrow.   Anyway ... all the different ‘News’ Channels have been dissecting his ITV interview today.   I wouldn’t want to be Prince Harry; imagine having to live with the fallout from all this for the rest of your life?   There is no doubt that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are laughing all the way to the bank.... but will they be happy?   I really really hope so.

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
