Nice morning ....

 26th December 2023 (Tuesday)     09.00 .... We have a bonnie start to the Boxing Day


weather; 'bright and breezy, with a touch of red in the morning sky', and it's slightly colder.   It's a wrap up morning.   Boris is 'slightly under the weather' after his morning jog to the pubs ... er... along the old railway line, and has taken a couple of Paracetemol and gone to bed.

11.30  It's a lovely morning here but frosty so I only ventured as far as the end of the driveway;  I had planned to go to the top of the hill but the road was icy so I pottered around the garden.   Jackie and Hazel went out for longer walks;  Jackie to walk the grounds of Haddo and Hazel to climb a hill.   I did think of going to Haddo with Jackie but the cold air put me off.

21.00   We've decided to postpone travelling south tomorrow due to the bad weather forecast, when the latest storm is due to arrive.   Tomorrow won't be a day for driving.... and things are to be much calmer on Thursday.   Tomorrow will be a day for photographing wind blown trees from the comfort of the house, drinking multiple cuppas, and scoffing goodies.


I've had a quiet day today... the icy road prevented me from going far.  Iain and I had our first cuppa in the 'Man Cave'.... Jackie and Hazel did their walking and Catriona went out later.

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...
