Much dampness ......

10th June 2017 (Saturday) .... 08.00    There’s a light rain, ...and much wetness this morning, not a bonnie start to Saturday .... but, being positive, there isn’t

any dust in the air.   The rain should clear away by midday to leave us with showers.... and spells of sunshine.    At least it’s sunny and warm in London ..... after the General Election calamity, Mrs May needs ‘bright, sunny and warm’.   
22.30    The late afternoon and evening has once again been the best part of the day:  the rain did move away after lunch, but the sun didn’t break through until about 15.00:  I had a washing on the line the sun was very welcome.

I biked along to the ‘shops’, after the rain stopped, for a paper and some ‘tautties’.... I also bought Lemsip at the Chemist.    I cannot shake off this ‘bug’ at all.    One day I feel better the next I take a step backward:  however the general trend is ‘slow improvement’.... but the cough is annoying.    Tonight I’ll have a hot bath, and a ‘Janice Toddie’ before bedtime, .   The ‘plan’ was to go to the Kirk tomorrow, it’s Communion at Kinneuchar, but that now depends on how I feel.    I’ll be glad to get rid of this ‘bug’.
 
The villages from Chapel Ness.
With the evening being so bonnie I went for a walk along the beach and out to the 11th green then home via Sea Tangle road and the Ferry High street.  I had to take it easy because my ‘tubes’ are stuffed, but I really enjoyed being out in, what was, warm evening sunshine.   It really is a lovely evening.    The villages are busy;  I like to see folk enjoying themselves on ‘my’ beach!     I met a lady walking her dog;   and she was one happy, friendly dog, and liked having her lugs scratched ... even dogs enjoy the ‘Elie and Royal Burgh’ air!    The lady was friendly too but I didn’t scratch her lugs!
I saw in the local Community Council minutes that “a member of the public” had complained about the Saltire flag being flown.    This is sad:  we do live in Scotland and there is nothing wrong with flying the Scottish Flag;  indeed we should be proud to do so.    When I’m down in England (Sussex) I see the cross of St George (the English flag) being flown all over the place, including cities.       The Union Flag is the flag of

the United Kingdom .... the individual countries of the United Kingdom, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales  have their individual flags and are proud of them!   I’ll be flying the Maori flag tomorrow!     If it isn't raining!

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...
