Cloudier but nice .....

20th April 2021 (Tuesday)    10.00 .... we have a change in the weather this


morrrrrrrning but nothing too drastic;  there’s a ‘slight chance of precipitation’ but the weeds flowers could do with some water.    I’ve been out on the bike... couldn’t go far as the battery was below the half;  but I enjoyed being ‘free’ again.   The battery is ‘on charge’ and ‘we’ should get out a bit further tomorrow.    This weather is only a temporary setback.... it should be bright and sunny for the remainder of the week.... and colder.   This cold spell is hanging in there.    My plan for the remainder of today? ....I’m going to have coffee out in the Hutte just now .... and have a restful day drawing.






16.00    It turned quite cold in the middle of the afternoon and I had to abandon The Hutte;  however I did have a couple of hours drawing... and began colouring in said drawing with coloured pencils.    This is so that I can take a photo and see if it looks like ‘right’:  it’s the north side of Ferry Corner, with the windows, doors etc, taken from Jimmy and Sydney’s memory banks.   The actual

houses, that had to be demolished,  were, ‘old Ferry’ stone built houses;   as can be seen from all the old photos of the corner.   Must ‘go’ slight flap on’ .... I’ve been speaking to Myra on the phone and she mentioned ‘crisps’.   Guess what I’m fancying now?  ..... yep a packet of crisps.... 126 of the ‘naughty’ things!





18.30     The sky had been getting darker all afternoon;  it eventually started to rain at 18.00 (ish).... so, it’s cold and wet now.    The cloud is to clear away overnight and we’re to have .... ‘bright and sunny with light winds’ all day tomorrow.   I ought to get out on the bike sometime but I must take the car to get the paper .... and milk for the Cornflakes.

I’ve had good day today;  going out on the bike first thing was a big boost to my


morale.... and I enjoyed an afternoon of drawing so I am a contented boy.   The only thing that bothers me is the temperature being so unseasonal;  but that should change eventually.

21.00    For some reason it feels colder tonight.... I think a hot chocolate is called for;  and another notch on the central heating.   Nae ‘plan’ for tomorrow but I should get out on the bike at some point.    Orf to make that chocolate.

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...
