Wintry sky ....

8th February 2024 (Thursday)    07.30 .... The Upper Largo Weather Cam shows the top of

07.45 this morrrrrning.

Largo Law with a light covering of snow;  the storm the 'craws' have been feeding for the past few days.    Funny how wildlife knows when bad weather is coming.   'Sunny intervals with a fresh South-Easterly breeze' is our weather forecast so it's going to be a bonnie but cold day.   There should be interesting clouds!

16.30    The weather has been kinder than I expected;  but it has been cold in the brisk wind.  I had a change of mind about going to the 'Store' (Ainster) and went to Leven to do the shopping instead;  that way I could have a morrrrrrrrrning cuppa with Alice.  In fact I ended up having the cuppa with Alice, then we both went shopping (Sainsbury's) then back to Alice's for an early lunch.   Alice was having her hair done at 13.15.so I set off for home at 12.40.   I came home by way of the Balbuthie road.... not the best of roads to meet traffic on.   Lorraine (Hairdresser) was still open when I arrived in Elie so I stopped to make an appointment to get a haircut;  and, lucky for me, Lorraine was able to do it immediately after the  customer in the chair ..... because someone had cancelled.   So I've had my haircut.... and apart from a migraine kicking in.... I'm a happy boy.

John, Janis, Gareth, Myra and Christine.

20.00    My word... it's wild and wet tonight;  it looks like  we've had a heavy shower o' sleet, and by the feel of the air it could freeze.  It's not a night to be out;  and am glad that I did the shopping today, if this weather continues through until tomorrow.  Strong Easterly winds and heavy rain is the weather forecast!

The couple o' pills I took for the migraine did their jo and I fell asleep for an hour and a half.   I'll find something to watch on the tele after this update, then have an early night in bed with my book.

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...
