Windy ....


17th December 2023 (Sunday)    08.15.... there's a frisky old breeze just now but it should begin to moderate by mid morning;  it's warmer than normal for December, but wind chill demands a warm jacket.  The forecast is 'strong winds and drizzle', so not a play day.   I plan to do some 'ousework, and make a batch of  'Cottage Pies' for the freezer, (now that the cards are done).

11.45   I wouldn't say that I have been overactive re the 'ousework, but I have been thinking about it.   The ironing has been done, and two washings (one woollen);  I'm sure you will find that interesting.   Although I always say that I am not going to watch the News.... I do watch it; and it depresses me to see how low  humans can go when it comes to killing each other.   And we now know what the white flag means to the IDF: apparently nothing!   Mind you they have paid a dear price for that ....by shooting three of their own; who had been taken hostage on 7th October.

The weather has turned 'dreich';  a perfect day for me doing 'ousework (when I stop thinking about it).

Kinneuchar.

21.30   I wouldn't say that this has been the most productive day for me though I did do some 'ousework eventually.   And I made a batch o' Cottage pies for the freezer .... no wonder I feel tired after such a hard day.   I have a parcel delivery tomorrow which means more 'ousework can be done:  and, I've just had a look at the weather forecast and it isn't very promising;  Tuesday looks like being the next sunny day.

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
