Windy .....


10th September 2018 (Monday) ....    08.00 .... we have a brisk, F4 South
Elie harbour.
Westerly wind this morning.... I suppose it could be classified as the first of the Equinoxial gale season.    The forecast isn’t exciting, .... windy, with blustery showers throughout most of the day.    A good day for having a new toilet fitted.


11.00     The surgery appointments went as planned, though I don’t get the cortisone until 27th September.    Mike is working like Trojan on the new toilet, which is much neater looking.... with less complicated innards.     I’ll take the auld stuff to the re-cycling Depot in the afternoon.    It’s cold out in the wind .... so not a morning for this boy going to the beach.

Elie harbour.

19.00    It has been breezy, and mostly overcast, all day.... and ....it is raining now.    The new toilet has been installed, and it looks far neater than the previous one;  I’ll be able to relax again.   I get all ‘uptight’ when things go wrong, so I’m glad everything is back to normal.

In the afternoon I went to the Woodhaven re-cycling place with the cardboard packaging etc;   I’ll have to take the old toilet etc to the landfill skip at Pittenweem.    The local (Woodhaven) recycling site is limited to household rubbish.    When I was out I went down to the Harbour but I didn’t stay there long;   too windy and cold.
I had a migraine in the middle of the afternoon:   this curbed my activities somewhat.    The migraine was probably brought on by the changeable weather.     I’m usually ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ the day after a migraine.... so I’m looking for a nice day.   In fact a decent drying day wouldn’t go amiss:   the machine has a washing in
Earlsferry from Elie harbour.
it.    What is the forecast for tomorrow anyway?    Oh.... ... well .... it’s forecast to be brighter than today was.... and windy... so it might be a drying day,... though it looks like Wednesday could be an even better drying day;   with more sunny spells.
Tomorrows plan?    I’ll see what the weather is like when I get out of my ‘Royal Burrow’.

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...
