Bright and breezy (so is the weather) ....

16th November 2024 (Saturday)    08.30 .... It's a beautiful morning, with a frisky SW breeze....

and there's noticeable drop in the temperature.   I imagine it will be cool on the beach and golf course;  so I won't be visiting either until around midday.   The patio might be warm enough to have morning coffee, but that depends on how the wind is.   Anyway it's a lovely morning;  if it was warmer I'd seriously think about having a turn round The Ferry on the bike.

20.00    It has been a lovely, albeit cool, day;  so I had a walk to the beach about  midday.  I don't go on to the beach but today I was sorely tempted.   It's getting back up from the beach that would be the hard bit.   Anyway I found a place where my getting on and off the beach looks possible.   I might try it the next time I'm down there.

The weather is forecast to turn wintry over the next few days (in fact Fife is included in a yellow warning for ice and snow).... but we are just on the edge of the yellow bit on the map.      Because of the forecast, I have  unearthed the winter headgear;  balaclava and  hats wi' lug flaps.  I had one of the 'lug flap' hats on this morning because of the cool breeze.

Looking West  from the bottom of Cross Wynd.

I'm not very keen on taking photographs in the middle of the day, but there was a bonnie light about and  ended up with a load of photographs to 'play' with.   The photo at the top of the page is where I could access the beach.   The 'drop', where a high tide has nibbled at the dunes.... is less severe here.

With the weather being kind, I decided to do a woollen wash this morning;  three jerseys.   And they almost dried.  They are now hanging in front of a radiator.   The only other 'work' I did was make a rice pudding.... and drawing: but I don't regard drawing as work.

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...
