Damp ....


3rd July 2020 (Friday)    08.00.... There’s a bit of dampness aboot this
The beach at midday.

morning;   “rain with a moderate breeze” is the forecast and “rain with a moderate breeze” is what we have..... but  a sunny spell, or even two, is mentioned for evening time.    I won’t be pulling any weeds today.    I didn’t pull any weeds yesterday either but that was because I was pla .... busy elsewhere.    I think it is a nice day for reading a book (I’m in the middle of ‘Little Dorrit’) and drinking copious amounts of tea:  there might be a decent ‘oldie’ on Channel 81.... even ‘ousework could be fun today.    Must go ‘slight flap on’;   I went out late yesterday evening to the golf course and have some photographs to play with.   I’ll sort them out when having breakfast.

Earlsferry High Street.
14.30     The rain slackened off just about midday so I had a short walk to the beach with the Olympus (camera):  I don’t have a spare battery for the Canon yet (ordered one this morning... along with a remote release).   There’s nothing worse than running out of battery.    The beach was busy probably because people were taking advantage of the slightly drier spell.   By the time I got back to Ivy the rain was starting to get heavy again.   I’m looking forward to sunny spells this evening.
I’ve just seen the weather forecast for tomorrow and Sunday and it isn’t very good.    Sunday is the going to be the driest of the two days but there’s a yellow warning for gale force winds;  at least the wind should get rid of the water that’s fallen on the previous two days. 


16.00    ‘Our’ two oil platforms, SEDCO 711 and SEDCO 714, are slowly bumbling their way to oblivion in Turkey:  ‘711’ is off the northeast of England and ‘714’ is in
Earlsferry High Street.
the Bay of Biscay.   Yep .... it’s raining again and I’m back on the computer.   I’ve  been trying to upload photos onto FB but they are in the process of trying to fix a problem so the uploading is ‘on hold’.    That’s a bit o’ luck actually as Alan has just brought scones from the ‘Harbour House’ girls so I’m going to have cuppa and scone before I start making dinner (sausages and mash).



22.30    So .... I ate too much and fell asleep after my dinner and missed the ‘sunny spell.    Actually we might get a sunny spell tomorrow.... and I’m going to be on a diet so won’t miss it.   I’ve had a fairly busy day today;  caught up with some paperwork, ordered stuff and paid my Blue Badge fee.... so I’m a happy  bunny tonight.   Well .... not totally happy.... the villages (our wee bubbles) are awfie busy and this is making me apprehensive:  I even saw a mobile home (looking for
Sunset on Berwick Law.
Shell Bay Caravan Park presumably ... in Earlsferry). This is the start of the Edinburgh two weeks which why the villages are busy, ... and will be for the next three months.    It’s good to see ‘kent’ faces back again .... its a sign that things are getting back to some kind of ‘normal’ ... as long as we don’t become complacent.
We had a nice end to the evening and I took advantage of it and had a daunder up to the Pony Field.  We had a colourful sunset (normally a good sign) and the forecast isn’t that bad for the early part of tomorrow so I might get up for the paper on the bike.... and maybe even ‘morning coffee’.

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...
