Overcast and colder ....

 

16th September 2020 (Wednesday)     07.00 .... It’s overcast with a brisk

Curlew.

breeze from the NNE, and much cooler than yesterday.   Any early morning drizzle is  forecast to fade away, and sunny spells bumble our way in the afternoon.   I think I’ll have a ‘rest day’.... tomorrow is going to be bonnier; and a good ‘drying day’.

I haven’t been anywhere this morning, there’s light drizzle blowing through... and it’s cold.

09.30     When munching my way through breakfast, I decided that it was a good morning for doing a wee bit of retail therapy at ‘The Store’ (Co-op, Anstruther).    The shop was fairly busy, considering the time (07.50), but nae queues at the checkout, nor people blocking an aisle while they contemplated buying something.   I came home by the Kellie Castle road for a change of scenery.   This is me ‘moored up’ for the day;   until the sunny spells break through at least though I may have a daunder down to the beach after I’ve had a cuppa.


17.30     It has been dull and cold all day but I did get down to the beach for a couple of short walk;  wearing my heavy jacket.    And there was a surprising number of other, well wrapped up folk out enjoying the fresh.  

Most of my afternoon was spent watching Stage 17 and working on the computer.   Today’s stage was another hard slog up a mountain;   they will be glad when they reach Paris and can have a break from competitive cycling.   Mind you;  when you think about they (investors) have taken cycling, and all sports, (and sportsmen and women), to turn them into a means of advertising something:   Something we don’t really need most likely.

21.00    Tomorrow looks like being a good drying day so I am going to do a woollen


wash;   and go out on the bike.   If it’s a really nice day I may venture up to Balcarres;  I haven’t been there for weeks.

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...
