Light rain ....

20th September 2020 (Sunday)      07.00 .... We have a bank of Scotch


Mist/low cloud so we have a dull wet start to the day.  There’s hardly a breath of wind and we need a bit of wind to shift the cloud;  not a pretty morning at all.    The Fife weather cams all show an overcast sky, with only the Aberdour showing signs of a breaking sky.    Looks like being a computer /television morning.... it’s certainly not a bike day.    The sun could break through in the afternoon.

This is another low tide day a good day for pottering around the rocks if it wasn’t for the wetness.

09.00     I’ve been to the beach (it's overcast but dry now);  it’s a nice enough morning for being ‘out', but .... my word the air is bad for me today.   There’s obviously some kind of pollution in the air this morning, I’ve had to take a couple of puffs of the blue inhaler.   Anyway I’m ready to go again;  but not very far.


15.30    After the couple of puffs of the inhaler, followed by a cuppa, I went up to the Pony Field for a walk.   I got  few photos of Chris and his golfer partners on the golf course, and a few of the weather, but, though it wasn’t raining it had been and everything was wet so I didn’t go very far.   It was enjoyable out but I decided to stay indoors for the remainder of the day.... and work on the computer.   Tomorrow is going to be a brighter day... and windier, so less pollution.   The bike battery is fully charged which means I should be get out to pester some innocent person tomorrow.    This is the last day of ‘le Tour’:  it is on Channel 24 at 14.45...  so ....  I’m going to make a cuppa and settle down to watch that.

19.00    The sun has broken through and we have a bonnie evening;  might even have a red sunset.

The 2020 Tour de France is over and things will be back to normal at Ivy Cottage;  a

The third green.

mix of ‘pl er work and ‘play’.   It will be nine months until the 2021 ‘Tour’, assuming the COVID-19 crisis has been contained.   This year’s ‘Tour’ was delayed by three months because of the COVID-19.

The wind has veered to the Southwest and I am feeling all fresh and frisky again; tomorrow I think I’ll have a frolic.

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...
