Bonnie, frosty morning .....

3rd January 2025 (Friday)    09.00 .... It's a lovely morning, but frosty,  and the pavements are

Icy pavement.
slippery!    Be careful.   I'll go for a short walk once the sun has warmed the air up and the pavements safe to walk on.   At the moment the only exercise I'm thinking about is pressing the kettle button!   'Sunny with a moderate breeze' is our weather for today,..... and cold. 
 
22..00    Although cold it has been a bonnie day;  I don't think the frost lifted in the shade;  but it was reasonably warm in the sun with only a light breeze.   There was a bonnie late afternoon light about so I had fun with the camera.

I went for a 'walk' up to th e golf course, then feeling good I made my way up to the Pony field to have a look at the work being done around the third tee area.   It wasn't easy going down to the temporary Ladies third tee but I got there.   A lot of people  were out enjoying the sun.

Back at Ivy I downloaded the photos then sorted them out, before settling down to watch Dan Snow in a documentary about the 'Terracotta Army' (China).  Actually I also caught the end of his documentary about 'Stonehenge' which was 'on' immediately before the Terracotta Army.    So I had a lazy but enjoyable .... and educational end, to my afternoon.

We're to have 'sunny intervals with a moderate' breeze tomorrow, so much the same as today's weather.   It might be breezier so more in the way of wind-chill.   I to stay in most of the time, but, like today, I'll have a short walk in the middle of the day.

23.30    This is a late night for me after watching 'New Tricks'!    I'm tired now.... might have a 'sleep in' tomorrow morning.   Especially if it's cold.

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...
