Bleak morning .......


30th May 2019 (Thursday) .... 08.30    Oh dear we have much wetness this
Ferry Road.
morning;  it’s raining, and  the forecast I watched a few minutes ago was not pretty.   It looks like we’re in for a day of rain.... and tomorrow didn’t look too promising either:  I’d better check my stock of tea-bags.
I haven’t made my mind up as to what I’m going to do:   I have some photographs to print off .... that is a cosy, and tea time consuming, job... one I like doing in the evening.      I’ll have breakfast, go for the papers and morning coffee, then do .... ‘ousework I guess.

13.00     Forget ‘ousework;  I went to Halford’s in Kirkcaldy and bought a bag for the bike ....to carry a repair kit etc.   From Halford's I went to Dysart for morning coffee at
Dysart Harbour with Arthur's Seat in the distance.
The Harbour Master’s House, because it wasn’t raining at Kirkcaldy.    It wasn’t particularly bonnie, but it was dry.    I reached the Checkbar road junction, on the way home, when I drove into rain again.   I should have gone further West, to Dunfermline, the sun was probably shining there.


18.30    My word ..... we have had one wet afternoon, but at least the rain is only sprinkling down now.   Bonnie Scotland is not short of water.   The weather kept the numbers low at the ‘Drop in Cafe this afternoon, but anyone passing the door would have thought the hall was full.    Everyone was happy, drinking tea/coffee, scoffing goodies and chatting .... right through the whole period the ‘cafe’ was open.    It was really enjoyable .... especially on a wet afternoon.

I stopped at the ‘paper shop’ on the way home to pick up the Courier.... and got soaked
Elie this afternoon.
checking the answers to the Christian Aid quiz.    I think I had three wrong answers.... but I’ll check again when it isn’t raining.   The answers are in the ‘paper shop’ window.


At the end of what has been a wet day I am one ‘happy bunny’.   The bag I bought for the bike is perfect for what I want;   with that, and the mirror fitted, I am ready to scuttle around all summer.    That depends on the weather.    Another Atlantic low is forecast to bumble over us tomorrow.... but it could be dry(ish) in the morning.

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...
