Wet ....


13th December 2019 (Friday)     09.00 .... there’s been a lot of rain overnight and it’s still raining, but not too heavily and it is forecast to be brighter, and drier, up by lunch time.   I have a ‘mini flap on’ but have it ‘covered’;  and ‘the boy’ is looking forward to morning coffee in ‘arbour ‘ouse.


19.30   As predicted we ended up with a lovely afternoon:  but I notice that the air is ‘nippy’ tonight;   I don’t think frost is forecast but it won’t be much above freezing.
Once again I have been a busy boy and will be glad to crawl into my burrow at the end of the day.    I went to Arncroach and caught up with Brian’s news;  there’s about as much happening up at Arncroach as there is in the Royal Burgh.... everywhere is quiet just now on the run up to Christmas and New Year.

I still have a few Chrissy cards to deliver;  and  I must visit Jim tomorrow as I am taking the car up to Brian’s on Sunday.   There’s tea/coffee and mince pies at the kirk service on Sunday and I had intended going to that but I might not have time.    Not that I would be going to the kirk just because they will be serving mince pies;  though it does kinda look like that.

Tomorrow I must do the last of the Christmas stuff .... with time out for ‘morning coffee’ of course.   And I  must, absolutely must, remember to pick up my prescription.   Getting organised for travelling used to be a dawdle but it’s becoming harder every year.... though sending the suitcase on beforehand will take a lot of the strain off travelling.   I never enjoy travelling on my own.... though I usually do end up chatting to my neighbours.   This time I am going to print off and check stuff that I’ve been writing on the computer;  it seems that’s what most folk do when travelling.

‘KY9’s weather forecast for tomorrow is “light cloud and a fresh breeze”... and it should feel cool.   I had hoped to get the bike out but I will leave that until Monday when I will be ‘carless’.    If the weather is Okay.

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

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
