Cloudy with light rain ....

26th December 2024 (Thursday)    10.30 .... After a brief, bright sunrise, it didn't take the sun

long to climb above the cloud layer, and  we have an overcast sky with light rain.   A good 'lazy' day after the hectic few days before Christmas.   Izzy and Alice are bringing lunch....  'Meals on Wheels' by Jaguar ....  for a Royal Burgh!  And... I don't have to worry about food today.   Actually I slept in this morning so this could be a 'rest' day!

15.30    Izzy and Alice arrived with MOW (Meals on Wheels) in Jaguar.   Not only does Izzy bring the food, she also brings everything else; the table, cutlery dishes, mulled wine... and non alcoholic wine!  Alice and I sat and  enjoyed a very tasty Boxing Day lunch,..... served by Izzy.  My word what a lovely way to brighten up Boxing day.   A dreich Boxing day I might add!   Thank you Izzy... and Alan who did the menu!   
I was sound asleep when the girls arrived;  the first I knew they were there was when Alice knocked on the living room door! 

After the girls set off for home, (via Sheila's in Upper Largo), I thought I have a walk to the beach.  However, I only got as far as Ferry Corner when the rain came on;  so that plan was aborted.   I took a couple of photos to let you see what kind of day we have, then went back and put the kettle on.

The way the weather is, I very much doubt if I'll be going out again today.   It's a "browse Radio Times to see if I can find anything that will lull me to sleep" kind of day.  I suppose I could start to tidy up Maggie's corner (next to the bookcase).   No;  I'll do that tomorrow.  

21.30    The weather has been  disappointing today:  thankfully Izzy and Alice brightened up my day.   This damp weather does not agree with my breathing.   Luckily the 'bloo' inhaler bring relief.   
 I watched John Thaw in a film called  'Mr Tom'  in the afternoon.   I've seen it before, but it's a good story, about an evacuee kid from London, being sent to the country during the war.   Any film with John Thaw in it is good!    

The weather forecast for tomorrow is 'sunny intervals with a moderate breeze'. Definitely better than today's weather!     I might go to the beach if the weather is as forecast, but the main 'plan' is to have 'rest' day. 
The villages will begin 'filling up' for the New Year celebrations.  The Ferry is usually choc a bloc at
this time of year;  and can in fact, be quite 'depressive' if the weather is grey and damp.    Anyway I'm having an early night in bed to shake of a migraine.... and it's going to be sunny,  so should be in a 'playful'  mood.

It's Horlicks time after an enjoyable Boxing Day lunch!   Photograph shows 'Lady Alice' between courses!

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...
