Dreich morrrrrrrning .....

 10th February 2024 (Saturday)    08.30.... It's a bleak looking morrrrrrrrrning.  The wind has


moderated and the rain is lighter, but its not a bonnie start to the weekend;  definitely not a 'play day' at the moment.  All the Fife Cams are grey.... and even 'Blob' was looking a bit bedraggled at 'breakfast' time.   I don't think we're going to have 'sunny spells' today.... maybe tomorrow afternoon.   Must go...slight flap on....I'm hungry!

20.30  Iain arrived at 10.20.... just as I was making a cuppa;  so we enjoyed a cuppa before doing ay 'work'   The first thing Iain did was show me how to operate the DVD reader on the laptop;  it's easy enough to operate I didn't know where the 'eject' button was.   This now allows me to read al my DVD's with the older digital photographs.   There will be a lot of reminiscing when I doing that.   In fact I began to do that, immediately after we had another cuppa and before Iain started to tidy up the garden.


After lunch Iain started to sort out the wee hut;  and I continued with transferring DVD's onto external hard drives.  We didn't go anywhere with the cameras but did get a lot of work done.   I'm looking forward to transferring DVD's, now and again, over the next few months.

We're going to be doing some more 'work' tomorrow morning, and Iain will travel home after lunch.

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...
