Lovely morrrrrrrrrrrrrning ....

27th November 2024 (Wednesday)     09.45 .... It's a lovely morning, with an even mix of clouds

and blue bits at the moment;  and, there's a chilly breeze from the NW, but it's dry.   I had great plans for today:  a migraine wasn't one of them.   However I've had a migraine... and taken the pills, so should be back on track in an hour or so.

20.00    I had a nice walk up the Hight Street and then down onto the beach.   I found a place where I could get onto the beach, then walked about 100 metres and found another place where left the beach.  Many of the places have a drop of 18 inches or so, and I can't cope with that.   Anyway O actually walked on the sand;  the first time I have done that for a long time.   It has been a lovely day for walking, and not that cold when I was out:  in fact I sat on one of the seats for 10 minutes enjoying the warm sunshine.   I'd been working on the computer and fancied some exercise.

Work is going on apace at 'Katherine Villa';  I couldn't see the workmen but I heard a lot of hammering going on.   I took a few photos for the 'Alberto Archive.   Actually 'Katherine Villa' was the only building site in Ferry Road with anything happening.   That bit of road used to be 'Ferry Wynd' but  appears to have changed it's name.   Wynds are on the South side of The Ferry High Street.  

The work I'm doing on the computer involves browsing photographs;  and that is hard work.   No, that's not right; it's not 'hard' work, but it is hard making up my mind on which photographs to use.  Browsing is very interesting, but I tend to get diverted and forget that I'm supposed to be 'working!   Still it's all very enjoyable.


The plan is to finish the 'browsing' this evening (I only need 13 photographs), and I'm going to  have to be 'brave', and make my mind up which I shall use.   I've already loaded over 100 into a Final Selection Folder, and will load a few more this evening.  Then comes the hard bit!.... picking the final 13..   It's not easy being me!

The Ferry appeared quiet when I was out.   I saw a few people on the beach but didn't meet anyone on the street.   

22.30   'Shetland' was exciting tonight:  it's a 'must watch' series now.   There's a lack o' real Shetland

folk in it, but the story is good... and the scenery excellent when they are 'out and about'.  The Police aren't of the Morse and Barnaby breed!.... but that's most likely because I'm ...er ... mature!

I see that there's ice on the car roof so we have a chilly night ahead.   And it's going to be another bonnie, but chilly, day tomorrow.   There's only going to be a light breeze so I might go to the beach again.

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...
