Overcast but warm ....


31st January 2020 (Friday)      09.30 ..... “A fresh wind with sunny
'arbour 'ouse re-opens next Wednesday!
intervals” is the weather forecast for KY9 today;  at the moment it’s overcast and damp looking but not cold..... it’s 10c on the garden thermometer.    I am choked up with a cold so will be lying low all day;   I have plenty to do in Ivy so I’ll stay in and stay warm;   I’m actually feeling brighter than I did yesterday just full of the cold.   Apparently it has been doing the rounds of the villages;  Geoff and Myra had it a couple of weeks ago.    Must ‘go’ slight flap on the kettle will be boiling;  going to consume copious amounts of tea today.

14.30    I am typing this slightly under the influence of a ‘Janice Toddie’;  this is good.    The ‘plan’ is to enjoy ... er take the medicine, then go to bed for 50.   I don’t go to bed because I can’t remain vertical it’s just that the ‘JT’ works better when in bed.   I had to go out to buy one of the ingredients... Lemsip;  and pick up my prescription so I went for a quick circumnavigate of villages and home by way of Balbuthie.    Hey this ‘JT’ is beginning to kick in.... I’m beginning to think that I can sing!
Kinneuchar.
The weather was bonnie when I was out but the sky has clouded over (or is it my eyelids that are falling down?) and it looks like we could have showers.   I’d better get of to bed .... my knees are beginning to feel .... slightly loose.   I should up and running in a couple of hours.... well perhaps tomorrow.

 20.00    Without doubt this has been a lazy day and tomorrow will be the same the ‘plan being to stay in and shake off this bug.    I will go for a circle round the villages in the car and, hopefully, do some ‘ousework but not much else.    I’m well stocked up with food .... and ‘JT' making components, and there’s a lot I want to do on the computer.
Well I suppose Nige and his pals will be gloating now that we are leaving the EU.    I know that the EU wasn’t perfect but I can’t help but think that the ‘man in the street’ will have a heavy price to pay for all this;  that said this is what  the majority voted for so it will be a price they will be happy to pay I suppose.
I am going to play with some photos on the computer then have an early night in bed with my book .... one of two that I got for Christmas, about Aberdeenshire.
 e of hours.... I haven’t lost my appetite!

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
