Overcast and wet ....



30th October 2019 (Wednesday)      07.30 .... I got all togged up to go to
Heavy sky over Elie bay.
the beach only to find it was raining.... not heavily , but definitely wet .   Not a morning for the beach .... but the sky is clearer to the Southeast so it could turn brighter later on.    The forecast isn’t that bad;  overcast with the chance of a few sunny spells later;  right now it’s overcast, wet and cold!   Orf to have another cuppa.... I overslept again and need something to get me into gear.

09.00    It’s the Colinsburgh ‘Lite Bite’ lunch today but  I'm feeling feeling ‘iffy’ .... I don’t think I should chance it.    I’ll phone Chrissie (who I was going to take to Colinsburgh with me) and see what she says.   Headaches are a dawdle, a couple of pills and everything is fine ..... not so with  the stomach.   I’ll potter around Ivy this morning and see how I feel in a couple of hours.
Elie beach.
10.00    Well .... the sun has found a big gap in the clouds and it looks like we are going to have a spell of sunshine.  What a fantastical difference the sun makes.... it, literally, gets rid of the ‘greyness’.    I have been to the beach for a short daunder and I do feel brighter.... but I am still not sure about going to Colinsburgh.


14.30    I didn’t go to Colinsburgh;   it wouldn’t have been the best idea, especially if it’s one of those 24 hour ‘bug’ things.    I suggested to Chrissie that Pat might be going up to the ‘Lite Bite Lunch’ and that she’d probably get a lift from Pat.   I hope she did.   I went to bed for a couple of hours:  I suppose I do feel slightly better but I’m not firing on many cylinders yet.   This is going to be a lazy day for ‘the boy’.... because I’m going to be taking it easy for the remainder of the day.
I see that the heavy shower clouds are still bumbling over;  in fact it was spitting rain when I went out to the gate a few minutes ago. ‘Sunny spells’ was the forecast right enough.
19.00    Well I did manage to get some work done on the computer so the day hasn’t
The Ferry beach.
been completely wasted.   Actually when I think back to me sleeping in yesterday, and today, .... that is not normal ‘me’;   I hope to be back on ‘stupid time’ tomorrow morning.   In the meantime I’ll do a wee bit more on the computer then have an early night in bed with my book.   Tomorrow might be another day of ‘keeping my heid doon’;  having said that Friday and Saturday are supposed to be wet days so I should try and get out on the bike sometime tomorrow.

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...
