Bonnie sky at sunrise ....

24th December 2024 (Tuesday)     10.30 .... The sunrise sky was something else this morning.   I

went to the beach to photograph it.... it was so colourful.   The first time I've done that for a long time so I must be 'on the mend'.   I bought another 'Difflam' and more Strepsils this morning to help get rid of this cold.  I've been told  that it takes four weeks, or more, to shake this cold off completely.    Which is why I've had to make a change in my Christmas plan.   Instead of going up to Iain's we'll do as we did during the pandemic;  I organise my own Christmas lunch then we do Skype.   Actually I quite enjoyed doing that, and look forward to seeing everyone .... without spreading the bug around.   And we had a n early 'Christmas Lunch when Emily and John and Henry were in November.   John is  in the Mediterranean this Christmas.  The new plan is to go to Iain and Jackie's at the end of January.   Must go .... 'slight flap on' today.   I've been to the shops so I can now settle down to do all the things that need doing:  switching on the kettle being the first.   

19.00     The weather has been kinder today;  much warmer than of late.  I went down to the Ferry High Street at sunset time, because we had a bonnie sunset.   I'd have gone up to the golf course but the breeze felt cool, hence the short walk to the High Street.

I've been busy today, but I'm still lying low because of the 'bug'.    I've got all the bits and pieces to make a Christmas Lunch.... even Brussel sprouts.  I'm looking forward to mixing with everyone via Skype.   The 'plan' is for tomorrow to be restful and relaxing.
I haven't been able to visit George (Mackie Housing):  I phoned to see if he was available for a visit a three weeks ago, but he had someone coming in.   That was a bit of luck for George because I came down with this bug a couple of days later.  I'll have a chat with him, on the phone, after Christmas.

The villages are busy, but not as busy as they will be for Hogmanay.   I did my shopping in The 'Deli'
this morning, and it was quiet.  It's a 'happy' kind of shop and I'm going to start using it more.  

23.20    The bottom photo is the Ferry High Street at sunset time.   Tomorrow's weather is going to be 'more of the same' according to the weather forecast.

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...
