Windy and wet (Auchnagatt) .....

28th December 2023 (Wednesday)    09.30.... As per weather forecast we have a wild, wet and

windy, morning at 'Backhill of Inkhorn';  there's heavy rain battering off the windows but no snow.   I've checked the Fife Weather cams and the Fife sky is showing signs of breaking up;  but it's still wet and windy in.  It's not a day for travelling.   I'll have a look at the Traffic Scotland Cams after this update.

11.15   It's really wild here  just now;  very windy and very wet.  Actually, where we are we are sheltered and missing the worst of the weather.    It will be much windier out in the open.... the same as going down to The Ferry beach.  

18.00    It has been a wild weather day all over Scotland but things are beginning to settle down;  the trees have stopped walloping about  and the rain is less heavy.   Tomorrow's forecast is much better for  travelling and I will be back in The Ferry tomorrow.   We have all been doing various 'projects'  (I've been writing up notes about the 'Kinneuchar Project' so that I can upload it onto my blog).   We also

had the Wii Fit machine going doing body tests:  I expected to be well over my age but, according to the machine (it calculated that I was 85), I'm in good condition for my age.... '85'.   I'm going to fire up my Wii machine at Ivy so that I can play golf and ten pin bowling.  (Note to 'me':  remember to buy batteries for the Wii handsets when in Morrison's).
I have enjoyed my Christmas break with the 'Troops'.  This is the first time that I have felt really 'back to normal' since the pandemic.   It has been great being with the 'troops' and all the interactions that we've had.  Yep.... I have enjoyed Christmas.   
You must all be wondering what Boris has been doing:  he caught me nicking one of his goodies from the goodie tin.... and has been sitting on top of the tin.... on guard, ever since.

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...
