0.75 centimetre of snow.....

10th March 2023 (Friday)     08.30 .... We woke up to almost a whole


centimetre of snow this morrrrrrning;  that’s ‘almost a centimetre’ more than I wanted. This spell o’ cauld weather hampering my activities;  however the sun will soon shift the snow and we’ll have a ‘bright, sunny and warm (ish)’ play  day.   I’ll go out in the car after the sun has cleared the car windscreen.

17.15    Today is the first day I’ve been out on the bike for weeks.... it has been sunny and warm all day with very light winds so hardly any wind chill.   I only went as far a Chapel Green to get a few up to date photographs of the cliffs....  and work going on at the various sites at that end o’ The Ferry.    The new ‘Chapel Green House’ is looking good, and nearing completion:  the stonework is something else.... I have enjoyed watching this house ‘grow’;  and can imagine the pleasure that the sunrises will give.   Yes ..I am jealous.

'Altai' - crude oil tanker.
Another house that has ‘grown’ is the ‘new build’ on the former ‘Four Winds’ site.     It too is looking good;  the view over the golf course to the West (Kincraig cliffs) must be stunning:   and the sunsets.... my word what a place to watch the sun setting. 

I enjoyed my short trip out on the bike this afternoon;  I hope to go out tomorrow but only if the temperature is like it was today.   I’ll take the car to go for the paper.

22.45   I felt that Spring had finally arrived today: and so does ‘Blob’.    Another Robin has appeared on his patch and he isn’t chasing her off!   I think this is the real thing....‘Blob’ is in love.   I’m looking forward to the end of this wintry spell; a few of weeks of warm sunny weather would suit me fine.   That would help shake off the after effects of the ‘flu etc.

I intend taking a mug o’ coffee with me when I go for the paper tomorrow;   I can then


enjoy ‘morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee’ at the harbour.    The weather forecast is good....sunny with a light breeze; and cold.    I must remember to buy a 'goodie' at the baker's.

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...
