Bonnie morning ....

18th December 2024 (Wednesday    08.45 .... It's breezy this morning, but dry.... and there's

an interesting sky, that's promising some bonnie clouds.  'Strong winds with sunny intervals' is the forecast.   The strong wind will moderate in the afternoon;  a bonnier day ahead.   Mind you it wouldn't take much to be bonnier than yesterday was!   That was one miserable spell of weather.   

After a good night's sleep I'm feeling almost playful.   I could cope wi' an exciting game of Ludo this morning!    Can you still get Ludo and Snakes and Ladders in the shops?   I imagine there's  an electronic version, that involves gambling, shooting and killing.  

Old fashioned Ludo, and Snakes and Ladders can be bought, in shops and online;  and, as far as I can make out, neither has reached the gambling, shooting and killing, electronic stage.   Imagine me being so cynical as think that could happen!

19.00    The wind was a bit friskier than expected, but apart from that, it has been a beautiful day.   I have had an enjoyable day posting a parcel that I have been worried about and another few cards.   The PO van arrived on time (12.00).   Even the kirk clock was at the right time and it stopped yonks ago.  After I'd finished with the Mobile Post Office I hand delivered a few Christmas cards.   I was worried about the wind, but I was well wrapped up, and my throat feels none the worse from being out!     




22.30    Tomorrow is going to be a goo drying day so I'll get the single bed sheets done;  I have spare sheets to make up the bed, but I'll leave that for another day as I intend delivering some more cards tomorrow.   This is the time of year I visit different corners of the villages, hence todays 'different' photographs.
It's a bonnie night, but it feels like it could be cooler tomorrow.   Saturday is going to be windy ...., as
in very windy;  in fact there's Yellow warning that covers Fife for the whole of the day.   Sunday is also going to be windy, but less so that Saturday.

I'm going to wash the sheets tonight so that they are ready to go out first thing.   Slight 'Flap On' now.

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...
