Damp ....

6th February 2021 (Saturday)     08.30 ....Although the sky is heavily


overcast and its windy and wet,  I am sure I can see some paler bits of grey in the general greyness this morning;  oh I’m not thinking ‘sunny spells  and sun cream’....  more of a slight slackening in the intensity of the dampness. If such a ‘slackening’ occurs I will take the car up to Chapel Green and have a stroll round there .... for a change of scenery.   It’s a computer/TV/ and numerous cuppas day again!

14.00    It has been a ‘bonnier’ day and I have taken advantage of it, having done the ‘paper run’ (except that I forgot to stop at the paper shop – so nae paper), the harbour, under the Ship Inn awning .... and up to Chapel Green.   It was raining most of the time, with short spells of heavier rain, but I enjoyed being out.   I was well wrapped and wearing the wellies.    Now I am tired and well ready to watch(?) something on the tele.

My fishing place at Kincraig cliffs.

17.00    I’ve been watching a programme, called ‘The Victorians’, and found it so interesting that I haven’t fallen asleep.    It has been on for most of the  afternoon and doesn’t finish until 19.30, but I use the time that the adverts are on to do other things;  like computer stuff etc.

The weather has deteriorated again and it has turned colder;  the good thing is that we could have a few blinks of the sun tomorrow.   It would be a big boost to the morale to see it again;   even for a ‘blink’.

21.00    I have had a good day;  much success on the computer, Scotland won at Twickenham (if they make winning there a regular occurrence, (every 29 years), I will be 119 the next time).... and I found a TV programme to enjoy.   Yes an enjoyable day for this boy.   I never did have an afternoon nap so I am tired and should sleep well tonight.

‘Light snow showers and a fresh breeze’ is our weather forecast for tomorrow... and


colder.    I might take another turn round Chapel Green on the ‘paper run’ tomorrow.... and remember to stop to get the paper.  It will be a computer day mostly.

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
