Bright and breezy ....

16th December 2024 (Monday)    09.45 .... It's a bonnie morning, in fact it could be a good

drying day, but there is the threat of showers later.   Regardless of the showers, I have a washing going through the machine and have every intention of hanging it out on the line.   I'm feeling brighter, and my throat is much better, but my voice is still rough.   

17.00    I have bene a busy boy today.   After morning coffee I went up to Elie in the car to hand in the 'Rotary' cards at the 'paper shop', and bought other bits and pieces, and;  came out without the paper (Courier).   Anyway I wandered back to the car, took the above photo and decided to go for run in the car.   I ended up at The Store in Ainster where I bought a few bits and pieces, before coming home by way of the Kellie Castle road.   There wasn't much happening, even Arncroach was quiet; I'd gone that way for a change of scenery.

Back at Ivy I put the messages away, then the door bell rang;  it was Derek (little brother) who had been at shops in Elie.  The Chemist was 'Closed' for lunch so Derek came along to 'The Royal Burgh' for a breath of Royal air.  (It's the same as the Elie air but with the flavour of a single malt about it).   Now where was I?.... aye.... Derek and arrived, and volunteered to deliver the Colinsburgh, Erncroach and Leven cards when he was doing his.   That leaves me with only the local ones to deliver over the next few days.  

First thing this morning I phoned Specsavers and changed the date of my hearing test;  it's now on the Wednesday 8th of January instead of Wednesday this week.                       The washing I hung out dried perfectly:  the showers mentioned in the weather forecast could be seen going along the 'Sooth side' of the Firth.   Actually they made an interesting sky but it was too cauld for me to venture down to the beach.  So I took a few photos up at the phone box, when I went up to put George's bin back in the garden.   It wisnae warm up at the golf course.   I sometimes shelter in the phone box.... but it's cauld on the ankles in there!

22.30   The moon is looking good tonight so I just had to take a photo.   I've had the Horlicks and the pills so I'm ready for bed with my book.   No plans for tomorrow though I will probably have a run round the villages delivering cards at some point.  It depends on the weather;  light rain is mentioned in
the weather  forecast. 
  
I've been sneezing this evening and that is clearing the tubes, so I'm well on the mend.

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...
