Calm but overcast ....


18th September 2019 (Wednesday)     06.30 .....  the sky is heavily
'M'.
overcast  and there’s hardly any wind so it is calm;  n there is the chance of some early light rain,  but the forecast is for it to be cloudy most of the day though it should brighten up in the afternoon.
   
16.00    ‘M’ and I went to Harbour House for morning coffee with Myra and Geoff... where ‘M’ and I caught up with all the latest news.  There wasn’t much in the way of ‘news’ .... if there was I’ve forgotten it.   ‘SD’ (Sooper Dawg)  was ‘put to sleep’ a week ago;  he had various problems that were beginning to have an effect on his quality of life... he was 14 years old.    He was a canny and biddable dog and will be missed.

‘M’s case is packed and she is now ready to join her sisters, at various residences in the East Neuk, for the final two weeks of her holiday.    Colin and Sue (son and partner) should be onsite at St Monans this evening and for the next couple of weeks until ‘M’ sets off home.
'M'.
20.30     I didn’t realise just how much companionship means until I delivered ‘M’ to her Crail sister (and husband) at 17.35 .... I’m missing her already.    It was good having ‘M’ pottering around this old ‘ouse:  being there to talk to.    Oh well I suppose I’ll have to get used to having cuppas on my own again.... and ‘M’ is really over here to visit her family after all; my having her stay for 9 days was a bonus.... and handy for a spot of modelling.   I’m a lucky bunny. 

Working on the computer doesn’t seem an exciting option but I’ll have to get used to that again:  I’m updating the Elie and The Royal Burgh of Earlsferry page on The Hutte;  it has to be brought up to date with the latest shenanigans.   That job will take a few weeks.

I have no ‘plan’ for tomorrow.... apart from going for morning coffee.   I think I’ll take
'M'.
things easy.... perhaps do some research etc.   I have to go to the Bank on Friday so I’ll visit ‘Jimbo’ then.... and get any shopping I might need.
The forecast is ‘good’ for our area tomorrow;   I might go round the villages on the bike first thing in the morning;  I haven’t done that for a while.

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...
