Wet ....


27th July 2019 (Saturday)      08.00 .... I’m wondering;  why are wet suits
'The Ferry' High Street.
predominately black?    It’s not the most cheerful ‘colour’... why not make them in assorted, happy, colours?    If I had a bright red wet suit I’d put it on and go for a run on the bike.   Ye Gods .... that would be a sight to behold.   Anyway it’s wet this morning.... not a morning for going biking, but is a good morning for ‘ooverin’ and dustin’:  though I’m not really in an ‘ooverin’ and dustin' frame of mind.   The rain isn’t heavy.... it’s ...sort of ... well ...there!   And it’s warm rain;  kind of like having a shower with yir claes on.    I think it (the rain) is suppose to fade away later today.    Right now I’d say that another cuppa is called for.

Peaceful morning.
09.30    The rain has moved away, though not very far away by the look of the sky.    I went to the beach, and it is actually pleasant out...albeit overcast, with the chance of more light rain.    I very much doubt if I’ll get the bike out today;  perhaps late in the afternoon evening.   Orf to have breakfast then I’m going to ‘work’.
19.00     Once again the weather played havoc with the Tour de France;  cutting Stage 20 down to 59 kilometres, long, with only one climb, the last and longest one, at nearly 20 kilometres.... with the finish at the top.    It was exciting viewing, and the Spaniard, who broke away on his own managed to hang on and win the Stage.   
I am shattered once again;  but not by watching the race .... oh no... ‘the Boy’ actually worked today, and Michael and Janice have a bedroom.   That said I think I’ll split the downy from the 15 tog that it is now, down to 10 tog.   I think 15 would be too hot .... even in Bonnie Scotland.   That will be easy enough done.... in fact I’ll do that after dinner, instead of going out on the bike.    I’ll go biking early tomorrow.


It has been a reasonably nice day, with the sun breaking though for a wee while in the afternoon.    I see the east wind has brought stuff in from the North Sea so we could have drizzle (Scotch mist) in the morning.    Maybe I won’t be biking first thing.

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...
