Wet .... but brightening up.


10th July 2019 (Wednesday) .... 08.00     We have rain.... and it looks like
Rain?    Its sun cream we need!

it’s going to be with us forever:   though it isn’t, because Carol says it should clear away for a while, before coming back as heavy, possibly thundery showers, in the afternoon;  as per Yellow warning.    We could get lucky and miss the showers!   We will not be bothered with dust.    My ‘plan’? ..... morning coffee and a chat, pick up the papers (2 on a Wednesday) then, with a bit of luck, bumble down to the beach when/if the rain does clear away.... which it looks like it could do soon as the sky is brightening up as I type.


09.00     Rain .... what rain?     I’ve had to unearth the sun cream to go the beach.    Actually I am just back from a stroll along the beach in blazin’ hot sunshine;  well that might just be a slight exaggeration , but the sun has broken through and we have bits
The  beach at the Centre of the Universe.
of bloo sky.... we’ll be worrying about a drought soon!    And there’s a coffee morning in the Kirk Hall;  it’s all ‘go’ this morning!
12.30      The Coffee Morning was enjoyable (I think Patricia, who reminded me that there was a CM this morning,  should adopt me);  and I bought some goodies to have with the numerous cuppas I’ll have over the afternoon.    We have a lovely sunny and warm start to the afternoon, but I have noticed clouds building towards the West of Fife.    With a bit of luck they’ll stay there.... near enough to admire and photograph, but far enough away for us to miss out on the naughty stuff.
18.00    In between messing about in the Hutte, and sorting out a pump for the bike I’ve been watching Stage 5 of ‘Le Tour’;  my word it has been tiring.    Tomorrow is going to be harder with mountains to climb as opposed to the foothills climbed today. 
Hazy lighthouse.
  I don’t sit and watch the race all the time, though the scenery, filmed from the helicopter, and described by the commentators does make it interesting viewing, .... as opposed to watching the race all the time.
   

We’ve had a nice day;  the heavy showers never came our way, and there’s no sign of any lightning strikes anywhere on the UK. ... so far today.   The yellow warning for tomorrow is still in place for the afternoon.    The morning could be a mix of sunshine and showers/light rain.   I might get out on the bike early.

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...
