Lovely morning ....

28th December 2024 (Saturday)    11.30 .... We had a gorgeous sunrise this morning;  not

a good sign as far as weather goes .... but awfie bonnie.   I went to the harbour to watch he sun coming up, with the lighthouse in the foreground;  then  got a load of 'cosy glow' photos after sunrise.   A successful mission.   

Monica, and another young lady stopped to chat while on their way to the harbour.  A lot of people were taking advantage of the bonnie morning... and it was reasonably warm in the sun.

19.30    I've has another restful day, but at least I 'stretched my legs' when down at the harbour, and did some small jobs around Ivy, so don't feel as if I've just been bone idle!   The washing I hung out didn't quite dry; but is now dryin off in front of a radiator.

I had a surprise phone call from Calumn (my Apprentice at the Craw's Nest) this afternoon.   He now works in the Oil Industry (Health and Safety) and is based in Rio De Janeiro for three years.   Calumn moved over there at the beginning of 2024, followed by Karen, and their dog, in the summer.   They are back for a Christmas break and fly back to Brazil on Monday,;  but will be back for a longer holiday in April.    Calumn has worked hard to get where he now is; and seen a lot of the world!   

22.30   Hmmmm .... it's going to be windy tomorrow so it will be cold;  and there's a chance of light rain showers.  If it looks like being a bonnie sunrise I might take the car to the harbour again.   It all depends on how windy it actually is;  F6 -7 is 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...
