Sunny and warm .....

7th November 2024 (Thursday)     09.30 .... It's an absolutely gorgeous morning.    I had a short

walk up to the golf course before breakfast.  The air was almost calm (a breeze from the SSE) and the early morning sun was warm on the neck.   I could have gone further but decided to have breakfast then have another short walk;  probably to the beach.   Oops... I sneezed.   Orf to have another cuppa before I go out.

10.45    The wind has freshened a bit since early morning; and it's cooler because of the wind chill factor.    I haven't been out  because I decided to do some 'ousework in case 'JB' arrives today.  It's still a lovely day, and warm when sheltered from the wind, so I'll go out after morrrrrrning coffee.

19.30    'JB' doesn't arrive until tomorrow after 10.00;  which is handy as Myra is picking me up at 09.00, then we're going to Ainster for our winter jabs.    I've been fairly busy today, and never went to the beach for a walk.   I didn't even go out in the car;  the cooler air upset the breathing tubes so I stayed in, working on the computer.   I also made a rice pudding;  adding a small tin of Evaporated Milk instead of the Condensed milk I used the last time.   I ended up dumping most of that rice pudding;  it was too sweet!   Today's pudding is 'perfect'.   Welll ... I think so.

With me not going out I haven't seen anyone to chat to, so there's no local News:  Ferry Road was quiet every time I went to the gate to catch someone wandering past.   I ended up watching the  BBC 'News' .... which was all about the American Presidential Election....  and the various wars.   I fell asleep.

According to Sean (the weatherman) it's to be sunnier tomorrow... and on Saturday.  The barometer stuck on 1028 with a damp air (as it has been for most of the last seven days) is not my favourite weather.

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...
