Slightly warmer ....



29th January 2020 (Wednesday)       07.45 .... the road is wet so we must
Nice pre sunrise sky.
have had some overnight rain .... and the air feels slightly less cold.   The forecast is for us to have sunny spells with light rain showers later.   I’m feeling ‘frisky as a frolicking ferret’ but it isn’t exactly a ‘play’ day as I have to wait in (11.15 to 15.30) for a new hub being delivered from BT.    I am looking forward to morning coffee with the ‘Troops’ in the ‘Pav’ at 10.00. 

09.30    Did I say it was warmer?.....it isn’t down at the harbour;  then it rarely is.   I found a sheltered place behind the rocks so I was warm enough but it is a day to be well wrapped up if exposed to the wind.   I’m orf to get the papers and have morning coffee with the Troops.    

Colourful north western sky.
15.00    We had a good ‘catch up chat’ in the ‘Pav’ and I am up to date with all the news but I have forgotten most of it:   except that I don’t visit Jim until Saturday.   Geoff had a cataract done and he is happy with that, Myra was off to have her hair done than was going to visit Jim.   I had to wait until 13.15 before the hub was delivered so missed the Lit Lunch at Colinsburgh.   After it (the hub) arrived I went to Leven to do the wee bit shopping I meant to do yesterday.
The forecast did mention showers what they didn’t mention was that it was going to be one long wet one, that started at 14.00 and looks like going on until dark.    It was a good afternoon for shopping.
On the way home I missed out the Muircambus Road as it is covered in mud, and came home via Colinsburgh.
17.30    It has been a wild afternoon... wind and rain so I have not been out again.   In
Bonnie sunrise.
fact I fell asleep in front of the tele, watching the news.... it was something to do with coming out of Europe.    Apparently we should be celebrating that event but I have no wish to celebrate ‘Rip Off Britain’ being ‘let off the lead’.  

It is going to be breezy tomorrow and cloudy but mostly dry;  by I mean F7.... yes definitely breezy.   It looks like it will be a computer day for ‘the boy’.

18.30    The rain cleared away just after dark and I can now see the moon and Venus.... it‘s a lovely evening, and I am a happy boy.

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...
