Windy, wet and cold ....


13th June 2019 (Thursday) .... 08.00    I had a ‘sleep in’ this morning ....
Wet morning.
decided to stay in bed until 07.00 because of the inclement weather:  We have ‘wet, windy and cold’ this morning.    Now I’m thinkin’ that I should have stopped in bed until 08.00.    I’ll do some ‘ousework, and browse a few more postcards.    The wind is forecast to back to the west,....  and the rain to peter out later in the day.  

11.00    The sky is beginning to brighten up a bit.... but it is still raining, albeit not very heavily.    It looks like we could get a few sunny spells in the late afternoon.    I’ve done some ‘ousework;  .... a bit of light ‘ooverin’ and dustin’.     Iain (Auchnagatt) is stopping over tonight so I thought I’d best make some small effort.    I have loads of food etc so that is all taken care of.   All this ‘ousewifely activity means that I haven’t been out.... welll not beyond the front gate.
20.00     Well it has been a dull old day... and a wet one.   Iain arrived round about 16.30. having driven through rain all the way from Aberdeen.     We had a cuppa and he then sorted out all the things that needed to be sorted re my computer etc.    The laptop is working, the desktop computer is connected to the web ..... and I am a happy bunny.

.... yep... it's wet.
The weather for tomorrow is going to be better.... we could have a few sunny spells even.    When you think about it in another 8 days it will be the summer solstice, after which it is all ‘downhill’ to winter.   Winter? .... we’ve still to have our summer.


Iain and I had intended going down to the beach but it was raining..... again.   So that was cancelled.    I’ll go down tomorrow sometime.  In fact, I don’t have anything planned for tomorrow so if the weather is Okay in the afternoon I’ll go out on the bike.

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...
