Lovely morning....

19th December 2023 (Tuesday)     08.00....  the sun has yet to rise but we have a nice, dry, start


to the morning;  it's slightly cooler than of late but still warmer that usual for December.    'Sunny intervals with a fresh breeze' is the forecast;  the 'breeze' is going freshen up to 'strong' by night time. Tomorrow is going to be windy... with gales on Thursday.

19.30   I have enjoyed a busy day visiting and catching up with Janet (sister) in Leven, then going to Alice's HQ to have a cuppa before visiting two ladies in the Scoonie Care Home.  Janet was telling me that there's another lady in the care home that Maggie and I knew, but that  I wouldn't recognise her now.   Old age comes with attachments that we just have to adjust to.   

After we left the Care Home Alice and I did some shopping in Sainsburys, before heading back to HQ where Alice prepared a quick and very tasty lunch.   The shops was very busy.... in fact it was the busiest that I have seen it this Festive Season, .... and most all the checkouts were manned!   In our case a young student type lassie.

The roads were awfie busy everywhere I/we went, (they always are nowadays) ....but driving was reasonably enjoyable  for a change.   With the new car having tinted windows I don't have any problem with eyeball that aren't mine in the rear view mirror.   I don't drive slowly I just 'go with the flow' but there's always someone who wants to be 'the leader of the flow'.... especially in the 20 mph places.  I stick to the speed limits.

Later in the afternoon I ended up with what I'd call a thundery headache though there wasn't any thunder about.... probably just  a change in the weather.   Anyway it's cleared up now.

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
