Grey and breezy....

3rd February 2023 (Friday)     08.45 .... Welllll .... this morning’s weather is


of the grey breezy variety;  I suppose it’s a good morning for taking black and white photographs.   And ....the bucket is colour coordinated with the weather.... it’s the grey bucket today.   Funnily enough I’m feeling almost frisky but it’s too cold to go out on the bike;  I’ll have an early morning coffee instead.

11.00   I had a letter to post this morning so, as the car was pointing North I went via Kinneuchar and posted the letter in the Kinneuchar box.  As a point of interest, The Kinneuchar Post Box is over 100 years old ‘cos it’s a King George V box.  

Although the sky is still grey the sun is trying hard to break through:  we could get ‘sunny spells’ in the middle of the day.

18.30    The sunny spells were few, short and late in the afternoon:  that said, it has been mild for this time of year.... it was so mild that I did some tidying up in the garden.    According to Tomas (Weatherman) it’s going to be mild tonight... 8 -9C in the East Neuk, with another mild day tomorrow.   The plan for the evening is to wash the dinner dishes, then browse the TV channels to see if I can find something to watch.   And have a cuppa. 


23.15    I’m late going to bed tonight after watching ‘New Tricks’ (22.00 - 23.00).   I don’t think that I’ll be bumbling around very early in the morning.    I did bits of ‘ousework during the adverts ....’ooverin’ and dustin’ mostly.  

I’m surprised to find that I have enjoyed myself today;  when I first looked out I thought it was going to be one of those drab  and uninteresting days.    It turned out to be a busy satisfying day:  I’m a happy boy.

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...
