Wall to wall blue sky .....

7th July2024 (Monday)     08.15 .... we have a sunny and warm morning with a wall to wall 'bloo'


sky;  this could be summer.... and a good drying day!   I've hung out a downie cover (not my favourite job)  and  now ready for breakfast.   I might take a turn up to Chapel Green on the bike later today..... after some last minute 'ooverin' and dustin'.

23.00    This has been more like summer (actually in Scotland this might have been summer).... I'm definitely getting the sun cream out now!    Probably be rainin' tomorrow.   It was such a bonnie evening that I went up to the seat at the 17th green to get a few golf course photos.   From there I would see Jackie  going down the road ..... if I she turned up when I was out.   As it happened she didn't;  and I got a lot of good 'evening light photographs'.   Jackie arrived just after 20.00 .... the roads having been quiet all the way down from Auchnagatt.


The Leven shopping mission in the morning was an outstanding success;  as was morrrrrning coffee with Alice.  Alice had been busy making an 'apple and Philly' (Philadelphia) cheesecake; so I stayed for lunch... main course and cheesecake.   Dinner was a 'lite bite' sandwich!

Jackie's course begins tomorrow afternoon and she will be busy for the next 6 days.  I might go out on the bike at some point tomorrow but if the forecasters have got it right.... we could have heavy rain in the afternoon.

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...
