Overcast and humid ....

26th July 2021 (Monday)     08.30 .... It’s cloudy and warm just now, but the sun


should break through by mid-morning to give us warm sunny spells, with an increasing ‘chance of precipitation’ in the afternoon;  which precipitation could be heavy thundery showers.   Although I’m feeling ‘bright and breezy’, I’ll wait until the weather is the same before going to the ‘paper shop’.    Food! .... it’s Weetabix time.

14.30    It’s 25C in Ivy garden.... and too hot to ‘work’, even inside.    Actually I have been a busy boy;  I did the last of the polishing in the bedroom, then went up to Elie for the paper at 11.00.    Feeling ‘brave’ I ventured down to the harbour but I had no problem travelling (on the bike) in either direction.   It was brilliant watching all the action happening on the beach (the tide was out so it was a big beach): the Water Sports ‘troops’ were busy, getting the ‘water sports’ equipment ready for the day, and there was already activity on the water.    I met a lady from Canada, though she was originally from Spain, and her two boys were already on the water waiting to go sail boarding.   I got a few ‘action’ shots then decided that it was time to go back to Ivy, have a cuppa, then go up to Colinsburgh.


I meandered up the road and eventually reached Colinsburgh, and delivered a sympathy card and chatted to Eileen (Bill Anderson’s daughter):  Eileen and Siobhan were baking.   My original intention was to go up to Balcarres but I noticed some poppies on a wall and decided to photograph my way back the way I came.   I got the photographs I wanted.... and a lot more.   That gives me something to ‘play’ with tonight.

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...
