Bonnie morning ....

12th November 2024 (Tuesday)     09.30 .... There's a bit of mist with a chill in the air this

morning;  a really lovely Autumn morning.    I slept 'in', and that was after having an unbroken  night's sleep.   And, this is going to be a quiet drawing day;  after I go to the shops, do a bit of 'ousework then get the pencils out.  But that's not going to happen until I've had an early morning coffee!    The forecast for KY9 today is "misty with a gentle breeze".... and ,hopefully, some sunny spells.

12.30    I've been to the shops, and.... down to the harbour, then home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar.   Back at Ivy I enjoyed a fresh roll, spread with JB's blackcurrant jam.   My word that pleased the auld taste buds.   JB has an allotment at home (Heathfield) on which he has blackcurrant and red currant  bushes.  (And grows vegetables).   JB made the jam, and wrapped it up for Christmas:  but it's only 43 days to 'Chrissie bell', so I have been a naughty boy and yielded to temptation.   I wish I'd done that sooner!

20.00    It has been a lovely day, but not a great drying one).   However, I caught up with the weekend washing....  and ironing. so I'm happy.   This has been a good rest day... and even a productive one.   

With the air being chilly I didn't go out anywhere in the afternoon;  choosing instead to stay warm, do some drawing, and catch up with the 'ousework.   Tomorrow's weather  is going to be much like todays, so will be another rest and drawing day.

22.30    It's a chilly night; might have to scrape the car windscreen tomorrow morning.

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...
