Showery ....

7th July 2021 (Wednesday)    06.30 ... In spite of the sky being overcast and not


very cheerful looking, I am feeling confident;  so confident that I have a washing going through the machine;  I can see a, not very large, blue hole in the clouds, a sure sign of ‘sunny spells’ to come..... so the washing will going out onto the line,.....  and I will be going out on the bike.  Showers, possibly heavy ones, are forecast for the afternoon.

10.30     The computer decided to install a muckle update so this is the first of me getting back on;   I did ‘fire up’ the laptop but is working slowly so I assume that it is working on the same update.    Anyway;  the sun has finally broken through .... and the washing might dry, having had another light rinse after I hung it out. 



Stage 11 of the tour is on TV from 12.00 through to 17.00.... that’s because it involves 5 climbs the last two climbs being up Mt Ventoux (1910m) from two sides with a descent and 33 km before the start of the second climb....not something I would want to do.   But it will make interesting viewing.

21.00    We’ve been lucky today;  none of the showers touched us although you could see them all around.   In fact it was a lovely, warm afternoon.... and evening.

Jo came along in the afternoon so we completed ‘catching up on each other’s news’.... Jo is going back home tomorrow.... and had a mug of my lovely coffee.   Actually I cheated, and made us Kenco cappuccino, which even I can’t make a mess of, it’s foolproof.... and tasty.

I went to Chapel Green in the evening and.... just sat back and enjoyed the calm... it was bliss.  I met, and insulted a Hungarian Vizsla dog;    I asked if it was a ‘mix’.   The dog will never ‘speak’ to me again.

There was a St Monans couple out with their dog so I caught up with the St Monans news:   it has been a good day for catching up with news.  And this turned out to be a ‘good day’ for doing the washing.... it dried:  that


reminds me I have an ironing to do.    And I also have the bike battery charger to disconnect.

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
