Nice fresh morrrrrrrrrrrrning ....

9th August 2024 (Friday)     08.15 .... It's a 'bright and breezy' morning but it's cool in the brisk


wind.  Actually the wind is freshening and should be around F6-7 in the afternoon;  a good drying day.... but there is a low chance of showers now and again.   
Michael and Janice are all packed ready for the trip up to Leuchars;  I think we're leaving about 10.00.

21.30    Michael and Janice arrived safely back in Uckfield half an hour ago.... to an uncomfortably  hot Uckfield  in fact.   At least we have a cool breeze so should have nae problem sleeping tonight.   Actually it is more than a cool breeze.... its cold.    The woollie hat season is upon us!
I've had a restful day (might have been 'lazy') after driving back from Leuchars.   It was an uneventful journey, the only problem being the traffic coming out of St Andrews when trying to turn onto the Strathkinness road.    Anyway I eventually managed it, though sometimes I wonder if it would be easier going into St Andrews the onto the Largoward road.    I arrived home.... probably before Janice and Michael actually boarded the train at Leuchars!
 

It's an early night in bed with my book again tonight.... meandering around Venice with Commissario Brunneti.   It's a relaxing read, and I'm beginning to know my way around Venice; a City with major tourist problems.

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...
