Cold southeasterly wind .....

5th March 2024 (Tuesday)     08.30.... any thoughts of the windows being cleaned promptly


evaporated as soon as I ventured beyond the front gate this morrrrrrrrrrning; and I promptly stepped back into the shelter of Ivy garden and fed 'Blob' (and friends)....who are still feeding as if expecting bad weather.   Although the sky is mostly overcast the cloud is breaking, so sunny intervals should be with us soon; but it's always going to feel cold in that wind.   I might clean the inside of the windows, but I think it will be a computer day for me.  

11.45    The sun has made me feel warmer.... but there's still a cold southeasterly breeze.  That said I'm actually contemplating doing the windows, after a lazy morning watching 'Deadliest Catch'.   They were catching crab on the edge of the ice pack (Bering Sea)... which is why I suddenly feel warmer!   I'll have a cuppa then get the tools lined up.

15.30    The big paned windows have been cleaned inside and out.   The kitchen ones I thought about, but with wee panes I might have to do them off the step ladders, and I didn't fancy that today.  It wasn't the warmest of jobs, but I'm happy that I've made a start;  it's good being able to see out again!   I intend  doing the kitchen ones tomorrow ....if the weather is suitable.  I think this justifies a celebratory cuppa!  Kettle 'on'.


16.30    For some reason I can't log in to FB because it is using an old e-mail address;  obviously there is something wrong with the site.  I've just checked the BBC News page and found the FB is down world wide.   Must 'go' slight flap on.... I think I'll have a wander up to the golf course.  

22.15   It was to cold for wandering up to the golf course, so I ended went to the harbour in the car.   There was an interesting pre sunset sky so I was happy enough.  FB is back up.... we're back in the world again!

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...
