Lovely morrrrrrrrrning ....

22nd December 2024 (Sunday)    09.15 .... Thankfully the wind has moderated and we have a

calmer, bright and sunny morning;  but there's still a cold, frisky breeze.   A nice morning for people doing the Coastal Walk.   I might try to go to the beach later but I really think it's another stay in out of the cold wind, for me.   Loads of 'ousework to catch up with so I might do some of that.  

10.00    The wind might have moderated but it's bitterly cold out;  and I've only been as far as the gate!    That said, I'm still in my loungers so the air might feel warmer once I get into day claes.   I like fresh air but this cold air does not agree with me at all.  There's a spell of warm air coming our way on Tuesday which is to be with us for a few days;  I'm looking forward to that; but the weather is 'all over the place' nowadays.

I was wondering why I'm feeling hungry;  I haven't had my breakfast!    'Blob' and pals had their breakfast an hour ago!

20.00    It has been a bonnie, albeit breezy and cold, day so I never went further than Ferry Corner, and that to get a couple of photos for the blog.   Staying in meant I cold catch up with some 'ousework;  and that is what I did..... in spite of feeling sluggish.   (this bug is one of those that might take a week or two to shake off completely;  especially at this time of year.   

The TV was been good this afternoon so I watched while working;  having cuppas at the really interesting bits.  There was a history of the carnage of the trenches of WW1;  that was hollowed by 'Sir Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the Antarctic, (that ended up with  "Endurance" being trapped by ice and eventually sinking);  which lead to the amazing rescue of the crew.  (McNeish, the carpenter on that voyage lived in Earlsferry).   I then had the British expedition to climb Mount Everest  via the SW face, lead by Chris Bonington.   So staying 'in' was no hardship today.


21.30     The water is 'off' due to a burst somewhere, but will be back on by 01.00 tomorrow morning.

I have no 'plan' for tomorrow;  but, if it's warmer, I might go further than the Ferry Corner for my exercise.  Right now, it's Horlicks time then orf to bed with my book;  a mediaeval 'who dunnit' by Suzanna Gregory.

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...
