Light drizzle .....

5th November 2024 (Tuesday)    08.30 .... It's cloudy with light drizzle just now, so not the kind

Late afternoon - Earlsferry High Street.
of morning for daunderin' along the beach.  Dogs wouldn't agree!    The drizzle should clear away by mid morning .... and we might even get some sunny spells, in the afternoon.   An early morning caffeine hit is what I'm going to have after this update!

19.00    I went to Methil to visit Alice, to find out what she had been doing lately.... and to generally 'annoy' her.    Alice had been baking scones!.... and they had to be sampled.   The sky was still overcast when I got to Methil but the sun broke through round about midday and we ended up with a lovely afternoon.

After a successful sampling session with the scones we chatted.   Alice has, and visits, friends in two local 'care homes' so is a busy lady.   I'd hoped to go to Dysart but with it being a dull morning that 'plan' was cancelled.   By the time the sun broke through it was lunch time.   Alice was going to the Beach care home to visit a friend so we both louped intae the car after afternoon coffee, and I dropped Alice off at Lidl's, from where she had only a short walk to 'The Beach', before driving home to a sunny Royal Burgh. 

It was a lovely afternoon by this time so I had a quick cuppa before having a slow stroll to the beach,  Sylvia (at least I think it was Sylvia) had just come off the golf course and said that the course was quiet, and that she had really enjoyed being out.   It was that kind of later afternoon ...(or early evening).  Like Sylvia I enjoyed just being out in the balmy sunshine;  as were a lot of folk on the beach!   

I had settled down on a seat and was enjoying watching the folks wandering along the beach, and got round to thinking just how lucky we are living where we do, at our Centre of Universe..   Then  got round to thinking about other parts of the world, where there would be other people enjoying being where they were, and how lucky they were to be .... at their Centre of the Universe!   

21.00    Tomorrow I shall have a run roond wi' the 'oover and that will be me ready for 'JB' arriving at the end of the week.   The forecast is good for the next few days, cloudy with sunny intervals and light winds.

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...
