Unsettled ... so is the weather

19th September 2021 (Sunday)  15.00 .... It has been a mixed sort of day so


far, mostly cloudy with the occasional spits and spots o’ rain, but we did have a spell of brighter sunny spell weather around lunch time.   I’ve been making up one bed, and stripping another in anticipation of a good drying  day tomorrow.    Sorting out the beds used to be an easy job but it takes a bit longer now.   I have plenty tea breaks;  and ended up watching ‘Goodbye Mr Chips’  at what ended up as an extended ‘tea break’.    I’ve been for the paper, but didn’t go to the harbour as it was spitting rain at that time.   I’ll get the bike out in the evening.

21.00    Apart from going for the paper I haven’t been further than the front gate;  but I have had a busy day.    I have organised the beds... and the bedding from the single bed in the computer room should be on the line tomorrow.    The weather forecast is good;   ‘sunny intervals and a moderate breeze’, .... no mention of rain.   The downie cover is going through the machine just now and will be on the line first thing in the morning.


As I mentioned earlier, I haven’t been anywhere on the bike;  not even up to Chapel Green.... so I haven’t met anyone to ‘pass the time of day with’.   My ‘plan’ for tomorrow is to get the bedding out, dried and ironed;   and take time out on the bike, though I’ll have to charge the battery first.   

I’m orf to make the bedtime chocolate, and browse the TV Channels before going to bed.   I feel tired and, having probably overdone the ‘work’ today, tomorrow will be more of a rest/play day.

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...
