Bleak ....

26th November 2019 (Tuesday)     09.00 .... we have bleak wet morning
The 'paper shop' - the antidote to miserable weather.
and  the weather cams are all grey.    The computer is ‘on’, the kettle is ‘on’ (and will be for most of the day) and I have only been as far as the front gate.    I will wander down to the beach after breakfast .... if it isn’t raining.
13.30    It isn’t raining but there are zillions of minuscule water droplets floating around .... it’s foggy.   Actually I’ve just been out to the bucket and it is raining now and foggy so not a pleasant day.    I decided to give the beach a miss today;   I ‘jamp’ in the car and went to Leven to hand in books to a Charity Shop and buy another six (two for 99p).   I’m going through books faster than food just now.   Of course I did a wee bit of shopping when there.   I didn’t visit
Oops ..... we've lost Earlsferry!
Jim because, as per usual,  going to Leven was a late decision and it was lunch time at ‘Leven Beach’ by the time I’d done the shopping etc.

I’ve been for the paper, had a quick trip down to the harbour and that is probably my exercise for the day.    I’ve had a ‘lite lunch’,  the computer is warm so that’s me for the rest of the afternoon/day.
20.30    It has been a miserable day as far as the weather went .... but I have managed to  keep myself busy and feel quite satisfied at the end of the day;   but there’s no denying it;  sunshine makes everyone feel better, and more in the mood to do things.

  What am I going to do tomorrow?    I don’t think it’s going to be as wet tomorrow
Leven High Street.
though but not bright and sunny either;  it is supposed to be warmer, but not biking weather.    It looks like being another day pottering around Ivy.... after morrrrrrning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse:   Having said that this cough seems to have made a comeback so I might not be going for morning coffee tomorrow.
I was watching the ‘News’ earlier but it’s all about the upcoming election.   I hope the young folk go out and vote .... they’re the ones that could  make a difference to the outcome.

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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

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 time to spare   Janice was dropped off near a shopping centre, and Michael went wi
