Overcast with light rain .....

27th April 2021 (Tuesday)       07.30 .... We have a change of weather this


morning;  it’s overcast with light rain,... damp but not very cold.    There is the chance of a few early sunny spells, but the forecast is for KY9 to be generally dull and damp.... nearly all day.   It’s a computer day for me.    I’ll go for the paper after this update... and take a run to the harbour, but this looks like being a stay in day.;  this is frustrating, because the bike has a fully charged battery.

09.00    It’s a good day for doing things at home;  this boy will be doing a ‘spot’ of ‘ousework, making Venison Pie... then drawing.    The sky is beginning to look more promising towards the Northwest just now;  I hope to have a ‘daunder up the street’ sometime today.   I’ve been for the paper... and down at the harbour, and though bonnie in a different way I prefer a bit more brightness.


15.30    With rain moving across us in the afternoon I have never been further than the front gate; and I haven’t even unlocked The Hutte.   The computer has been on, but not much work has been done on it.    I did make three ‘Venison Pies’ (posh ‘Cottage Pies’ make with venison mince);   two are in the freezer, the third one is in ‘me’.   There’s not much difference in taste between venison and beef mince, but the venison mince is ‘different’ to work with.   That has been my success story of ‘today’.    Actually I have been feeling a bit ‘under the weather’;  probably because of the weather!



18.30   This has been one of my ‘lazy’ days;  other than make the Cottage ... Venison Pies, I haven’t really done very much.   I watched an episode of Foyle’s War... and didn’t fall asleep.   I did a wee bit of drawing... and couple of Soduko’s.   Mind you, the way the weather has been today, makes this the perfect kind of day for being ‘lazy’.   I need a few days months of warm sunny weather;  but, according to Louise Lear that isn’t going to happen next week;  with the temperatures continuing to be well below average, for this time of year.   I’m wondering if I should be brave and get my haircut on Thursday?

21.00     We had a bonnie end to the day.... and the forecast for tomorrow is ‘sunny


intervals with a moderate breeze’, but, with the breeze being from the East is will be as Louise said.... the temperature will be a good few degrees below where it should be at this time.    At least it’s going to be sunny.

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...
