Bonnie morning .....

11th August 2024 (Sunday)     09.30 .... There's still early morning cloud but the sun is working on


that, to give us a sunny and warm day;  not as warm as Sunny Sussex, but warm enough to be enjoyable but not uncomfortable.    I'm feeling almost playful so frustrated that I can't go out on the bike.    The washing I hung out is... welll...  'hanging limply' would be the best description;  but it will dry in the warm sunshine.  It's breakfast time.

20.45    The wind went round to the southeast later in the afternoon.... bringing a drop in temperature.  Prior to that it had been a really warm afternoon; a but too warm for me.   I visited Alice in the morning and had a quiet few hours chatting, having lunch and generally relaxing.   This visit made me feel that I was getting 'back to normal'.   As ever the roads were busy;  I'm thinkin' that this might be my last year driving.   Having said that I'll probably feel different once I get the waterworks sorted out.

I had a short walk up to the golf course in the afternoon;  the sun was still high in the sky so, although my favourite time of day to be out with the camera, I got a few interesting shots at a different time of day. 

The washing dried perfectly.... in fact I did another small washing after I came home for Alice's.   I can only do small washing because of short 'claes lines'.


23.00    Well... I watched some of the 2024 Olympics Closing ceremony, but it went on too long for me.  I'll miss watching the actual 'Games';  that was two whole weeks of interesting television.

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...
