Wet morning ....


22nd December 2018 (Saturday) ........ 08.00   Hmmmm .... I’m an

unhappy bunny;  it’s been raining and it looks like I’ll have to postpone hanging out the washing until mid-morning.     At the moment we have a ‘grey and wet looking sky’;  however the forecast is for sunny spells and light showers by mid morning.  
  
I've got  a touch of the cold, and it's making me feel sluggish this morning;   if I feel like this tomorrow  I won’t  driving up to Auchnagatt.    It wouldn’t be wise.

08.30    I got ready to go to the beach:   but would you believe it .... it’s raining.     Raining  .... at the centre of the universe?   That shouldn’t be happening;  especially when I want to hang out a washing!    I’ll make myself another cuppa.
Looking west along Bank Street, Elie.

20.30    The rain cleared away about 10.00 and we’ve had a nice day, with the a thin layer of cloud between us and the sun;  so it was bright with the odd sunny spell.    After morning coffee with Jim and Myra, I had a busy day in spite of feeling a bit iffy with this cauld.    I washed the kitchen, bathroom and lobby floors .... then fell asleep in front of the computer.    The printer ink had been delivered and I ran off the insides of a few cards.   It was a bonnie afternoon for delivering Christmas cards .... so that is what I did. 
 
The villages appear to be getting busier with Christmas holiday arrivals:  it’s not until
I couldn't resist another shot of Kinneuchar Kirk!
Hogmanay that Elie and Earlsferry are choc-a-bloc.  I’m in two mind about driving up to Auchnagatt: I want to do it but at the back of my mind I don’t think that it’s a good idea...with the way my head feels. A few years ago I’d have done it without any thought, but growing old is a bit like an e-mail with attachments.  I’ll see how I feel in the morning;  and there’s always Monday.   My bag is packed ... and the car fuelled up, so I’m ready to go whenever I feel ‘fresh and frisky’.   I /someone will be needed at Auchnagatt...to disrupt the smooth flowing plans!   I’ll take a couple of pills and have an early night in bed.

Tomorrow’s weather is forecast to be ‘light winds and sunny spells’.... a good day for driving.... but no;  I don’t think I’m going to be tempted.

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
