Overcast with spits and spots of rain .....

29th January 2017 (Sunday) ..... 10.00     Hmmmmm ....it’s overcast with spits and spots o’ rain now and again... not “Sunny Sussex” like at all;    that said, it
Taken from the Boss's seat one year ago.
isn’t cold, in fact there’s a “Spring is around the corner” feel to the air.    If it wisnae for the greyness, and the spits and spots o’ rain it would be a bonnie morning!   I’m i/c downstairs this morning .... even “Bonnie” is having a lie in!   I’ve washed all the glasses etc, had breakfast, and I’m now waiting on the kettle boiling.    Enjoy your Sunday.
23.30     The ‘Troops’, including Bonnie the dawg, emerged at 10.00... they deserved their ‘lie in’ having been ‘up’ until 03.30.    Leeann arrived with “Darcie” for a short visit... and a cuppa.
With the weather deteriorating, by mid afternoon we had heavy rain, I abandoned all idea of going for a walk, and caught up with some e-mails etc.    Marcia sent a photo of ‘my’ beach, taken this morning.... ‘bright and sunny’ with people all over the place!

Very “Sunny Sussex” looking in fact ....  had it been sunny in Sussex!   

I’d say that I have had a ‘restful’ day;   tomorrow I will go out for a daunder, the weather forecast is “cloudy but dry” in the morning, with light rain moving in from the West in the afternoon.    Morning time will be ‘action’ time methinks.    Actually I may go down to the bottom of Uckfield to look at  the “Grant’s Hill House” site, where Lord Lucan was last seen alive.    The house “Grant’s Hill”, was demolished in the 1980’s, and replaced by a ‘Care Home’;   application has been made to have the Care Home demolished and replaced by retirement flats.

Hey .... there is a bit of wind rattling around tonight, .... thankfully the rain has moved

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...
