Calm and peaceful ..... so is the weather

17th November 2023 (Friday)     07.30 .... It's a quiet morning ... or was before 'Blob' started

Quiet Firth of Forth.

gein' it laldie from the top o' the Rowan tree.   He sounds happy.   (I was puttin' the bucket out when Blob fired up).   I haven't decided on a 'plan' yet;   the weather forecast is 'good' , but there is a chance of light showers in the next couple of hours, so it's a multiple choice activities  day.  It depends on how the mood takes me..... at the moment it's taking me towards the kitchen and the kettle.

11.00    After the aforementioned visit to the kitchen 'the mood' eventually had me going to Leven to do the weekend shopping;  I only went to Sainsbury's thinking I might bump into Alice and Karen, but I missed them.  Actually Sainsbury's is busier now that there's a choice of different priced items: and a lot of elderly folk do their shopping first thing,..... this made me feel 'young'.   (I wish).   Anyway I left Sainsbury's with a reasonable amount of real food.... and some odd goodies (they must have jumped into the trolley as I wandered round).   The stone masons are busy so I'm going to make another cuppa and then get the pencils out.


20.00    Oops... there's a change on wi' the weather;  actually not much of  a change at all.... just back to 'heavy rain with a moderate breeze'.  If that's how the weather turns out tomorrow will be a 'drawing day' and I'm in the mood for drawing just now.   I'm glad that I did the shopping today;  driving in the rain is no joy.  I was expecting a showery weather tomorrow; perhaps the 'heavy' rain is going to give way to sunny spells by lunchtime.




22.30    I've been oot at the bucket just now and  the air feels more like frost;  no matter what the weather is I'm in a drawing mood but I will take time out to bumble down to the harbour at some point.... assuming it is showery.   Must 'go' 'slight flap on';  I forgot to make the bedtime drink before I began watching The Good Ship Murder.   I won't be going on a cruise!   
I've put up a couple of 'progress photographs  of today's 'work' by the team working on the new Ferry
Lodge extension.   I have also been 'working' but I'm not going to let you see the drawing until I think it's finished'
The apex of the gable is almost 'iggzactly'  the height I thought it would be looking from The Hutte.   It's going to look bonnie when finished.

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...
