Showery look ....


5th August 2019 (Monday)     06.30 .... It isn’t a day for gardening... everything is soaking wet;  in fact by the look of the sky we could get a few short spells
Morning sunlight on Chapel Green - Earlsferry.
of light rain this morning.    I’m going to the beach after this update;  it's not a morning for the bike, though I will get it out to go for the paper and morning coffee.


08.00    Everything is clean and bright after yesterday’s rain .... and also wet, especially the bents.   The beach was quiet with only the lassie from Links Road, out with her collie, and me down there.   I’ve no doubt it will be busier soon.... but that depends on how the weather goes. 


The Beacon in morning light.
15.00     It’s turned out a nice afternoon though we had a short spell of light rain/drizzle;  it wasn’t heavy enough for me to take the washing off the line.    The washing is now nearly dry so I am keeping an eye on the clouds.    I haven’t been out on the bike but as far as I can see the evening is going to be the best part o’ the day;  I’ll go up to Chapel Green then.   In the meantime I’ve been cleaning out one of the kitchen cupboards.    That doesn’t take long but having washed the shelves etc I can’t put anything back in the cupboard, until aforementioned shelves are dry.    I’ll have a cuppa and do a Soduko.


20.00    I haven’t been feeling good at all today:  I didn’t even go out on the bike..... I kinda think it’s a weather thing because I’m beginning to feel brighter now.     All
Cracker of a morning.
afternoon I’ve been sitting in the Hutte doing Soduko’s and falling asleep.   I’m going to take a couple of pills and have an early night in bed with my book.   Every time I woke up (in the Hutte) I had to make myself a fresh cuppa;  the previous one had gone cold.
Michael and Janice are driving up tonight; leaving Sunny Sussex about 22.00.....  they should be here about 08.00.   I’m reasonably well organised though I will have to do a shopping.... after morning coffee.   ‘Dod’ .... if you want to go I’ll meet you at aforesaid morning coffee.   It’s probably my turn to pay!
There’s are yellow warnings out for thundery showers, for both tomorrow and Wednesday afternoons.    We won’t have to bother about a hosepipe ban that’s for sure.... not if it rains like it did yesterday.

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...
