Cloudy and windy ....


30th January 2020 (Thursday)     09.00 .... it’s a bonnie enough morning
Bit breezy so I stayed in the car.
but there’s a brisk breeze already, and it’s forecast to become really ‘brisk’ ... and there’s spits and spots o’ rain now and again.    It wisnae that cauld but I didn’t get oot o’ the car!    I think this is going to be a computer day for ‘the boy’.


20.30    We’ve had a wild day;   the wind must have been F 8 most of the afternoon and it brought in a few squally showers, so not a great day for pottering about outside.    I did go to the ‘Pav’ for morning coffee with Myra and Geoff, and, had a short run out in the car in the afternoon.    Most of my day has been spent working on the computer.    I set up the new ‘hub’ and it is faster than the old one so I’m looking
Frisky sea.
forward to seeing how fast downloads  will be after we go ‘Super Fast’ on the 24th April.   Super Fast? .... I haven’t been feeling even ‘fast’ today, never mind super fast.   Having said that;  I have had a good day on the computer.
Tomorrow is...?.... is Friday.   I woke up this morning thinking this was Friday and that I’d forgotten to put the bucket out.    So what did I do? .... oh I did;   I got out of bed at 05.30 and put the broon bucket out....and it was cold on my wee spindly legs!    I brought it in again after I found out it was only Thursday.... when I finally woke up a couple of hours later.   This reminds me that I’d better go and put the broon bucket out now!
I don’t have any plan for tomorrow:  Jim is having his pacemaker checked so I can’t
Bonnie sky .... but there's a gale Force 8-9 wind.
visit him;  if I feel brighter I might go to Gillingshill and have a walk round;   it’s sheltered from the wind.   We are to have another breezy day tomorrow but nothing like today.
When I was out with the bucket I noticed that the wind has moderated considerably and the sky has cleared (the stars are bright) and we should have a quiet night.    I’m having an early night in bed and hope to feel ‘bright eyed and bushy tailed’ in the morning;  actually I might go to Leven tomorrow and get a few bedtime books... if I am feeling frolicsome.

 21.30    Well ..... all the worrying about the 'broon' bucket was needless;  it's the 'bloo' bucket tomorrow... I checked the Fife Council website.     I forgot that our rota had been changed.  There's nothing in the bloo bucket so I can sleep happy tonight and not worry about buckets.

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...
