Cloudy and damp ....

29th November 2024 (Friday)     09.30 .... It's cloudy with a damp, raw feel to the air just now;  but the
weather forecast is good ....'sunny intervals with light SE winds', so we should see the sunny spells and milder air by morning coffee time.   It's going to be warm!  Right now it doesn't look promising.    (I'll have morning coffee after this update).   
The 'plan' (after the early coffee) is to make up Iain's bed, then organise something for lunch.   I fancy sausages and mash!    Oops... I sneezed and my nose was cauld in bed last night.  If I was a dog I'd be healthy!   I'll have the coffee now.


22.00    Iain arrived about midday.   We had a cuppa and concocted a 'plan'.   The first part of the 'plan' (after the cuppa) was run along to Ainster Store to buy some mair adventurous food.   No goodies as Iain is on a healthy diet.   I am already on a healthy diet;  one that includes the odd goodie!
We had a short tour round Ainster before coming home but didn't stop.... the streets were lined with cars!    I was taking photographs from the car on the whole journey.   We met Sadie and Robbie (Kinneuchar) at the Store;  they were happy because they'd done a lot of shopping!

Back at Ivy I made  healthy 'sausages and mash' with a load of peas.   And gravy.   That was lunch.   The main course was followed by a raspberry trifle, then a cuppa.   (Nae wrinkles on puku!).   After watching some snooker to unwind, Iain went for a walk with my camera:  I continued to watch the snooker.... and fell asleep .... as per plan.   Iain came back after about half an hour.... and I woke up!   Not a busy day, but a happy one.

Iain plans to work in the garden tomorrow;  I'll potter around doing bits and pieces;  and help where I can.


It's forecast to be warm tomorrow;  and this has me thinking of going round The Ferry on the bike. Biking is the only form of exercise I can comfortably do now.   But this depends on how I feel in the morning.   I'll get the bike out anyway, because the battery will need to be charged.

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...
