Nice morrrrrrrrrning .....

18th October 2024 (Friday)    08.45 .... It's a bonnie morning, and the forecast is "sunny

intervals with a moderate SSW breeze", so a nice enough day ahead,.... hopefully  warm, as it was yesterday.   There's a chance of rain later in the afternoon.  The cold I have is hanging in there, so I'm going to lie low for another day;  I have plenty to do.  Whether I actually do very much is something else.  The urge to pick up pencils and draw is on me just now, so I'll probably do that.   Drawing is relaxing.

11.30   I went up to the seat at the 17th green and I can tell you that it's warm in the sun!    I'd wrapped myself up, but, as I found out, that wasn't necessary.   I forgot this was Friday, and was happy to find that the course was busy, and colourful;  Friday is a 'girls' competition day.   I took a few photographs but had to abandon  because I was too hot.   

The sky is clouding over already, which is a pity, because I thought about going up to Balcarres in the afternoon to get a few autumn colour photos, but I like a bright day for that.

16.45    I am glad that I went out n the morning, because the afternoon was cloudy with rain arriving about 16.00.... and settling in the the night by the look of it. I searched for something to watch on the tele in the afternoon and found the 'Battle of Verdun'!...another of WWI's bloodbaths!  

I did a good bit of work on the computer, and decided on what I am going to draw so this has been a goof day for me. My cold seems to be clearing so I'll get out and about tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be sunny and warm!  Sunday through to Monday is going to be windy.

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...
