Clouds and sunny spells .....

21st November 2024 (Thursday)     09.15   It's a a nice morning;  the wind is from the West


so not as 'sharp' cold as it has been for the past couple of days.  That said, it isn't 'iggzactly' warm, but the change in wind direction is welcome.  Dogs will enjoy taking their owners out for a walk on the beach!    At the moment it's a "stay in and stay warm" day for me;  but would like to be fit enough to go to the Rockies for lunch.   This cold spell is seriously hampering my activities.

20.00    I enjoyed going to 'The Rockies' with the 'Troops', that was the highlight of the day.  The restaurant was awfie quiet;  but you read in the papers that this is what is happening to the hospitality industry.   Not only here but all over the UK.   Having said  that, Christmas is not far off, and folk have the  'Festive Season' on their minds.    

I took the camera with me today, and photographed the journey from Elie and Earlsferry to 'The Rockies' and back.   This is the first time I have done that.   There was an interesting sky on the way home.  I delete all of the OOF ones.   It's actually surprising how many turn out reasonable, even on a dullish day such as it was at times today.

East end of Elie High Street.
The 'gless' (barometer) has dropped in the last 12 hours and is now at 'Rain'.   There has been a different feel to the air today;  and the change has not agreed with me.  I woke up feeling fine, then had a migraine after breakfast.  Luckily I was going out with 'The Troops' and they brightened up my day.

22.15    There's a cold night ahead, followed by a cold day tomorrow.   It's time for the Horlicks the into the cosy bed, with the Annals of Colinsburgh.

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...
