Breezy with light rain ....


18th May 2019 (Saturday) .... 09.00   It’s a ‘Coffee Morning’ morning;   (I like that bit) we have a grey and wet start to the day, and the forecast is for it to be like
Drab morning.
this for most of the day.  Unfortunately we don't have a 'CM' until next week when we have the Christian Aid coffee morning in the Kirk Hall (Elie), with girlfriends ... oops... home baking etc .... a can’t be missed event.   Today is the last day for handing in completed the Christian Aid Quiz.   This weekend the villages are quiet.... except for the branches of Janis’s Chestnut tree;  they are walloping around now and again so we have a fresh wind with the occasional spells of light rain:  the rain should fade away by evening time.
Food!
15.30     I have done some computer work but the work that I hoped to do is locked into the laptop that broke down a few days ago;  very frustrating.  It hasn’t been a totally wasted day because I sorted out some photographs.

The weather has been mixed up;  sometimes the sky brightens and you think the sun will break through, but doesn’t;   then it’s back to grey and miserable again.
I had had morning coffee in Harbour House with the ‘Troops’ which brightened up my morning, before coming back home to check my Inbox for news from whichever company is delivering the e-bike;  but no e-mails.  It was wishful thinking really;  I imagine it will be Monday before I get a delivery time.
19.00     Well .... I’ve nibbled and cuppa’d and computered my way through a grey, and
.... delicious food!
sometimes damp, day.   The sun has been trying to break through and that suggests tomorrow is going to be a better day:  having said that, the ‘sunny and dry’ weather of the past few days has made today appear ‘orrible, when it hasn’t in fact been that bad.    And I have managed to get some ‘work’ done.   I don’t have a plan of action for tomorrow;  it all depends on what the weather is like when I first look out.... and how I active feel.    In the meantime I’m going to have yet another cuppa .... might even have a biscuit, though I have been avoiding those today.

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...
