Cold NE wind .....

1st October 2024 (Tuesday)    09.30 .... This mature person won't be straying far from the door

today.  Why?..... because we have a frisky, and cold, NE wind!   However, sunny intervals are forecast with the chance of showers by morning coffee time, but always going to feel cold out in the open;  trust me to feel playful on a day that I can't go out.   Never mind, I'll make good progress on the computer, sorting out Folders of photographs;  that's always interesting.

20.30    It has been a nice day, in fact I meant to do a washing but forgot about that;  tomorrow is forecast to be bonnier.... and a good drying day.   Today has been a stay in and warm day;  mostly working on the computer.  One of the Folders I found was the one I made when Jackie and I biked from Backhill of Inkhorn to Newmachar via the 'Buchan Way', the old railway line from Aberdeen to Fraserburgh converted to a biking walking Way..    I remember travelling, by train, from Newmachar to Fraserburgh for our annual school outing.   Sorting out the photograph Folders is going to take a long time.....but it's awfie enjoyable.

As it's going to be bonnier tomorrow I'll do the washing I meant to do today, and maybe even take the 'hurdy gurdy' for a turn up Ferry Road.   My friend Ian will have settled back into his nice warm Australian weather again.   I'll drop him an e-mail later to find out how his journey home was.

22.00  Although the weather is going to be slightly  better tomorrow the wind is still from the NE;  not the healthiest of wind directions.   I intend wrapping up and going for a short walk, because I need the exercise..... but I can't go too far as Iain ordered a set o' 'exercise pedals' and I'm not sure when they will turn up.

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...
