Nice morrrrrrrrrrning ....

9th November 2024 (Saturday)    09.00 .... The sky was overcast and misty earlier, but we have

big blue patches coming over from the West, on a light but cool WSW breeze;  the sky looks promising just now.  The forecast for KY9 is..... 'light cloud with light winds'.   It's a nice morning, but could be cool on the beach!

10.30    'The Troops' went for a walk round the village;  I'm feeling sluggish (probably after effect of the jabs) so I gave 'JB' the camera.   It's actually a nice enough mornin', but the sky hasn't cleared as much  it looked like it would, so it's a bit chilly.   The afternoon might be brighter.


14.30   The sun never made the breakthrough that I'd hoped for, so we've had a dull, rather cool day. Emily John and 'JB'  took Henry for his first visit to The Ferry beach down to the beach;  it was strange to him at first but, after he got used to the newness of it all, and a nibble or two of the 'Royal' sand, he

began to enjoy himself.   I made it as far as Nana's Seat, but not onto the beach;  however, gave 'JB' the camera to get a load of action shots.   He did (123 of them), so I'm a 'happy boy' now that I have photographs to play with.   

19.38   We' had a Christmas Dinner made by Emily John and 'JB'  today.  John is off to the Med at the beginning of December hence the wary Christmas Dinner;  including presents and crackers.  Emily are traveling to John's parents in Cumbria tomorrow morning via a stop in Kirkcaldy to visit friends.   'JB' leaves late in the afternoon, as he is travelling by overnight coach from Edinburgh.   Maggie preferred travelling coach to Sunny Sussex so we did it that we a few times.    It was only after Maggie died that I travelled by train.   This has been s bus and very enjoyable weekend.   I can't get over how much Henry has changed, he is so active ..... and interested in everything.  The beach was a bit of a puzzle at first but, once he got used to the change of scene he
enjoyed the sand.   Didn't particularly like the taste of it but it was sampled!   Ivy Cottage has been much livelier this weekend than it has been for a long time.

Tomorrows weather is going to much the same as todays..... with the chance of light drizzle now and again.   'JB' and I will take a run up to the Fudge Doughnut factory at Cupar in the middle of the day;  might even have lunch in the Café.

23.20    'JB' and I have been watching the Remembrance Service from the Albert Hall; always a poignant service.    It got me to thinking about the troublesome times we are living, then I thought;    'in 70 years or so, these "troublesome times" will be 'the good old days'.

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...
