Lovely morrrrrrrrrrrrrning ....

 8th April 2024 (Monday)    09.00 .... We have a bonnie start to the day... a good 'drying day'. but


rain is forecast later in the afternoon.   I have a washing to hang out before breakfast, and plan my activities for the day.    There's a chilly air just now, but once the temperature rises I might get the bike out.   Orf to have another cuppa.

15.15   With the weather being peaceful and warm, I went out on the bike for the first time in over a week.... and  enjoyed it.  I only went up to Chapel Green then to the Pony Field on the way home, but it was great being feeling the breeze on my face again.   The sky was starting to cloud over (tomorrow rain on the way) but there was a bonnie light about so I have a few photos to 'play' this evening.

21.00   I've been watching the eclipse from Ohio (USA) for the past hour or so and had to go out to the bucket and thought "jings we're having a total eclipse here" .... then remembered it is night time!   I think I need to make the 'orlicks and have an early night!  


The photographs I took in the afternoon have been sorted and I'm happy.  Being on the bike makes a big difference to  where I can go... and where I can stop.   The car, though handy, has limitations. I see loads o' potential photos when out in the car but there's nowhere to stop.  With the weather forecast being what it is for tomorrow (wet) I won't be out on the bike.... but will get 'wet look' photos from the car;  so the car does have it's uses!

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...
