Sunny intervals .....

15th September 2024 (Sunday)    08.30 .... We have a bonnie, fresh morning.   There's a lot of

Skiff 'Sea Queen'.
cloud about just now (in fact it looks like it could rain), but the KY9 forecast is "sunny intervals with a moderate SW breeze".  I have a washing going through the machine so it won't rain!   

19.30    The showers missed us and the washing dried  so I'm happy.  I went for the paper after breakfast (and after hanging out the washing) and had a trip to the harbour.   I don't know what was 'on' last night but the Toft, and the harbour Car Park, were almost choc a bloc with cars this morrrrrrrrrning.   The skiffs were going out, and Tom was out at his creels but apart from that the water was quiet.   The skiffs always look good on the water;  they were a wee bit distant from me at the harbour:  I'd have been better down on the bents, but I am happy with what I got.

I remembered to stop at the 'Paper Shop' on the way to the harbour, so felt very organised this morning.  From the harbour I meandered back to Ivy and had another cuppa before going to Methil to visit Alice.  The road to Leven was quiet; but the other side was busy with young folk going the the 'Bash' at Crail aerodrome.  The noise from the exhausts is the main clue as to where most of the traffic was heading.

Skiff  'Archie'.

Alice had the kettle on when I arrived at  Methil so we had a cuppa and a piece o' Lemon drizzle cake, before settling down to catch up with events in Methil....  and The Royal Burgh.  I'd been later than usual at arriving at Alice's so all of a sudden it was lunch time.  One of the shops Alice had been in recently had, Halloween and Christmas stock on display!   Anyway Christmas Mince  Pie are already on sale (and have been for a week at least) so we had a hot mince pie and  custard for sweet;  celebrating(?) the fact that  there are 100 days (from today) until Christmas Day!



22.30    I enjoyed Episode1 (of 6) of 'Night sleeper';  the faces of the important players are so young, but then again so are Doctors, Nurses Policemen etc now;  so that's just me being olde .... er me being mature!   It is really gripping and I'm looking forward to the next Episode.

This has been an enjoyable day;  the sunshine helps.   Tomorrow is going to be another nice day, in fact
Tom at his creels.

the next few days are supposed to be bonnie.   No plans for tomorrow, but I should finish painting the shed..... and have a wander down to the beach.

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...
