Nice morning .....

9th January 2025 (Thursday)    09.30 ..... It's a frosty morrrrrning,  "sunny with a moderate

Northerly breeze" is the weather forecast, so it's not going to be warm.  Which is, more or less, how it should be at this time of year.  I doubt if I'll be going far today, but might go as far as the beach in the middle of the day.  'Blob' has been fed, now it's my turn.   I'm hoping the sun will melt the ice on the car windscreen, but it has a bank of cloud to climb over first!   Sunrise was at 08.40.

19.15   I had to move the car this morning, because the workmen (Airlie) were getting a delivery that involved lifting the materials over by lorry mounted crane.   I thought (not something I often do), "if I'm moving the car I might as do something with it";  so I went to Colinsburgh Filling Station.   From there I decided to go to 'The Store' and do some shopping.   Doing all that would give the workmen time to take the delivery.   And this would give the car a decent run in this cold weather.   At first the Store was quiet, but it must have been lunch time for the Waid pupils because the shop was suddenly busy..   However I was going through the checkout so didn't hinder any pupils desperate to get back to their 'lessons'!

On the way home I had another change of 'plan':  I'd go to the West Braes car park in Pittenweem to take a few photos.   The first thing I noticed was that we now have some 'Bloo Badge' Parking spaces which is very handy.   The West Braes is exposed so I didn't go far;  but was happy with the photos I got.   By the time I got back to Ivy the workmen were finished and I moored up at the gate to unload the wee bit shopping.

22.15    Once this cold spell is past I'll go to the West Braes and 'walk' down to West Shore and the harbour (Pittenweem).   I've had a reasonably busy day, and I'm reasonably content at the end of it.    Tonight is forecast to be really cold, followed by another cold day tomorrow.   I'm going to set the heating at 18 and leave it on overnight.   That way the air should be comfortably warm for the auld tubes.   Must go;  'slight flap on'.... got the 'orlicks to make!

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...
