Breezy ....

21st December 2024 (Saturday)    09.00 .... we have a frisky old wind this Winter Solstice

morning, and it is not warm.   But it isn't raining.   This is Christmas getaway weekend and the roads will be busy.   I'm going to Leven and Methil, and will be able to tell you about the traffic on the main road into the East Neuk.   You will be looking forward to that.   Must have another cuppa.

21.00    It has been a bonnie but windy day;  and cold because of the wind.    We had some spits and spots of rain blowing through at times, but it was really the wind that spoilt a nice day for this time of year.   I went to Methil to see how Alice and her pals were getting on.   I didn't do any shopping because Karen (Alice's daughter), said that the queues at the checkouts were long and slow moving.  Anyway Alice and pals are all well.... and organised for Christmas.

As expected the roads were busy, but on the way home, most of the traffic was coming from the East Neuk;  I imagine they were going to the shops.   Alice and Karen were going  to Lidl's so I dropped Alice off there on the way home.    All the 'Disabled' parking spaces were occupied, or I might have joined the girls and done my bit of shopping with them.  Normal parking spaces are no use to me nowadays;  I can't get the car door open wide enough to get out when between other cars.

Back at Ivy I decided to have a cuppa, then go to the Store and do a shopping. I though it might it be quiet at lunch time.   And it was!   The road was busier.  I had a sandwich lunch when I got back home, then settled down to watch Wallace and Gromit in "The Curse of the WereRabbit".   Brilliant.   Since then I have done very little, so I'll be in 'Flap on' mode tomorrow.  It was too windy and cold, for me to go out with the camera  today.   Both today's photographs were taken in Barnyards yesterday.

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...
