Light rain at first ....

 

10th October 2020 (Saturday)      07.30 .... there’s light rain just now so I’ll


go for the paper later;  the rain is forecast to clear away by 09.07.    I suppose I could take the car;   that would take care of the paper right enough .... but I like the exercise and freedom of the bike.   I’ll have another cuppa.

10.00    The sky is beginning to clear but the cloud are not giving in easily.... though the sun will win in the end.    I took the car to Elie.... it was a bit raw for the bike, and I needed milk, and came home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar to warm the car up.   I’ll get the bike out in the middle of the day.

17.30     The sun did get through later in the morning and I went up to Chapel Green., even though I have been feeling ‘sluggish’ and choked up with a head cauld,.... but I did enjoy the trip out on the bike.    The villages are busy and it was good seeing folk

enjoying themselves in spite of all the ‘doom and gloom’ of  COVID – 19.    I’m glad that
I went out when I did because the weather turned unsettled, and we have had  a couple of showers since then.  

My breathing has been bad for most of the day, but it has cleared up a bit in the past couple of hours.    There must have been something in the air which has gone now that the wind has changed direction.

I have been working with the postcards and have discovered that the older postcards fit into photographs albums;  luckily I found  four photo albums that I bought but never used so they will be put to good use.    The other two postcard albums that I ordered have yet to arrive, but I didn’t expect them to be delivered today anyway.

20.00     I’m feeling better now than I have done all day;  it’s definitely handy being able

Chapel Green.

to breathe.     Tomorrow is going to be a good drying day so I’ll wash what’s in the machine ... and anything else I can find.    Other than that I don’t have a plan though I will go for the paper and have a quick scuttle round the villages.

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
