Lovely morning .....

19th November 2024 (Tuesday)    08.30 .... It's a lovely morning but there's a bitterly cold

Largo Law with Barnyards in the foreground.

Northerly wind;  not a morning for the beach.... but dogs will love it!   I'm not exactly 'bright eyed and bushy tailed' this morning,  it's too cold for that, but I'm vertical .... and ready for breakfast.   If I go out, it will only be as far as the car, to go to the shops.  The Fife Weather cams are all showing a bonnie morning.  

14.00    This is a quick update before I find something on the TV to watch.  I have been out in  the car for a run;  ended up going as far as 'The Store'  in Ainster, where I did a small shopping, then meandered  my way home  via the back roads.   It's a lovely day but very cold out in the open.  I'm ready for an afternoon nap now, so I'll  find something to watch on the tele.   I don't think I'll be going to the beach today!

19.30    This cold weather has got me thinking of when we sledged down The Knoc (Balcarres Estate) in the 'good old days of the 1950's'.    Climbing back up again was hard;  but worth it for the thrill of going down!   Funny the cold didn't seem to be bitterly cold in those days!   I certainly have felt it cold anytime I went outside today.   However I did the ironing that's been piling up  .... er.... kept for cold days such as today   I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow.... because Wednesday is going to be another cold day...."sunny with a moderate breeze" being the weather forecast. 

Myra phoned to remind me that tomorrow is the Colinsburgh Friendship Lunch day.... and that she would pick me up at the top of the road.   I think I'll have shaken off the 'bug'  by then, though this cold weather does not agree with me at all.   I'll see how I feel tomorrow.

The only time I went out in the afternoon was to wrap some bubble wrap round the outside tap...(which is turned off anyway so shouldn't freeze).   I think the cold spell is to last until Friday so I'm taking no chances.

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...
