Cloudy with light SE breeze ....

8th November 2024 (Friday)     08.00 ....  With the sky being overcast we have a gloomy looking

morning;  but the sun is forecast to break through and we're to have 'sunny spells' by midday.   The wind is light from the SE.  Being that I'm feeling positive, and anticipating the sun breaking through, I have a washing going through the machine!   

12.30     The winter booster jabs mission was an outstanding success!   I phoned Myra to let her know that 'JB' was arriving off the 10.29 X60 coach, and that I'd take my own car, and meet him at Elie.  I hung out the aforementioned washing then had another cuppa before leaving for Ainster.   I arrived there with time to spare.   The NHS bloke doing the booking came from Sunny Sussex, and, as I was the only one at the desk, we chatted for a few minutes.  The last words the bloke at the desk said to me were "mind the step".   I moved towards the Main Hall door, saw the Nurse, promptly forgot the step .... and just as promptly, tripped!   I managed to stop myself falling, after a few newly born foal like steps!   The fault was entirely my own.   Anyway, after this spectacular entry I got to the Nurse and sat down (she was mair shocked than I was) ... took my jacket off and hung it on the back of the chair and sat down.    We chatted about the jabs, got the jabs and an information leaflet.   I then set off for the car where I had to sit for 10 minutes.  The Nurse caught me up with my jacket that I'd left hanging on the chair.   Definitely the most eventful booster jab session I've ever had.  

21.30   'JB', Emily John and Henry are here for a long weekend ;  Emily's John is going the the Med for few months.  Unfortunately he will miss Henry's first Christmas.... and birthday.   I can't get over how fast Henry is growing and developing;  he's crawling all over the place, and  will be walking soon.   I took the photo without flash today and hope to get better ones tomorrow.

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...
