10th December 2023 (Sunday)    11.00 .... I've been for the paper, and visited the harbour, and I


won't be straying far from Ivy for the remainder of today;  it's one of those bleak, uninspiring kind of days that we can have at this time of year.  It's a perfect day for writing Christmas cards.   Funnily enough, I managed to tale 73 photographs of dreichness... and I'm pleased with the results.   I'd rather have sunny spell photos.  That said... I'm a happy boy and will get going with the Christmas cards after morrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning coffee.



18.30    I've made a start writing Christmas cards .... beginning with the overseas ones.   That reminds me I need to be at the Mobile PO van tomorrow (11.30 - 12 -30) to post the overseas cards (4).   It has been a good day to be staying in;  I had 'Chicken Run', and 'Shaun the Sheep' to watch in the afternoon.... while writing the cards.   I'll find something to watch after this update.... and write a few more. cards.


22.00    With the weather being dampish I have made good progress with the cards;  though I should have switched the tele 'off'.  Anyway, the 'plan' is to post the overseas cards tomorrow.... and have all the cards done by Friday.
The weather is supposed to be brighter tomorrow, bur right now it's still raining;  in fact it's just the same as it was first thing this morning.... dreich.

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...
