Bad hair day ....


20th June 2018 (Wednesday) ....08.30  Hmmmmm ...everything is wet after
Overcast ... but dry.
overnight rain, and, although not raining at present, the sky is overcast and it looks like there could be more rain to come.    I haven’t been anywhere, having had ‘lie in’, and not exiting my Burrow until 08.00.    I’ll take the car up to Elie for the papers after breakfast;   and have coffee in Harbour House.    This looks like being a good ‘ousework day.


13.30     I’ve been for the papers, and had an enjoyable three quarters of an hour in Harbour House,....  but I’m not feeling sparkly this morning.   I feel a couple of degrees under the weather.    I’m blaming the weather!
I did go down to the beach after I got back from Elie;   even on a dull day the beach is inspirational.     There is an interesting sky so I came off the beach feeling less ‘flat’ than when I went down.    However, today is going to be a ‘rest day’;   I’ll find something to watch on the tele.... then fall sound asleep.

The Ferry beach this morning.
20.30    The sun broke through, albeit weakly, (and briefly)in the evening and it looks like we could have a brighter day tomorrow.... but there is a noticeable drop in the temperature.    The wind is from the Northwest.

I have found the quickest way to fall asleep in front of the tele:  find a football match, then ...  sit back.    After a few minutes of watching ‘theatricals’ I am  sound asleep.    I used to play football but that was before coaches taught you that play acting was part f the game.     Anyway I was sound asleep in ‘nae time’ and woke up feeling refreshed.... though I still feel as if I have a cold coming on.   I’ll take a Lemsip before going to my ‘Royal Burrow’ tonight.   The football?    The game had finished by the time I woke up:  I wasn’t that interested anyway.... just a means towards falling asleep really.    To tell the
Berwick Law.
truth I’m a rugby person though I do like most sports.

There are still a few showers rattling around .... and it is cool.    The weather forecast for tomorrow is bright... dry .... and cool:   the temperature should start to rise again on Friday.    I’m going to have another quiet day tomorrow, but hoping to be a bit livlier.    I’m researching some WWI history on the computer;  that keeps my brain active.

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
