Overcast with Scotch Mist ....

12th October 2021 (Tuesday)     08.00 .... we have a uninviting looking start


to the day:  thick cloud, with heavy Scotch Mist doesn’t say “come out to play”.... even if there is only a gentle breeze.   At the moment it is a computer/TV day.... and I’m thinking scones, so I’ll make a batch for the freezer;  it’s a good morning for pottering around in the kitchen.    The afternoon might be brighter........ but .... the breeze is from the East, bringing the cloud in from the North Sea.... so, it could be dull for most of the day.

15.30     The sun burnt through the cloud, in the afternoon, and it was warm sitting on one of the Woodhaven Bay seats.   I had intended stopping in Elie to get an ice cream but the car parking spaces were full, so I went to Woodhaven minus the ice cream.   I’ll have one out of the tub I have in the freezer, but is isnae the same  as Shona’s ice cream.    I enjoyed the wee run out (in the car) ....now I’m looking forward to an ice cream cone from the freezer, even though it isn’t what I had in mind.


21.00    Oh ... I got all the ingredients and equipment ready to make the scones, but the eggs were a week over the date;  so nae scones until I get eggs, and milk, at the ‘paper shop tomorrow morning.   I’d have gone Ardross for eggs but I didn’t have a card with me.

The History Society have a ‘get together’ for coffee/tea in the Pavilion tomorrow morning;  I might go to that, if the Pavilion doesn’t look being too busy and crowded.   There’s a lot of folk in the villages just now.

I’ve had a funny kind of day.   The East wind never agrees with my asthma so that has been ‘active’;  however that didn’t stop me enjoying myself.   I’ve been out twice;  I went to the beach after the Scotch Mist stopped in the morning:  even though still overcast, the sun was trying to come through and there was a lovely ‘light’ about.... and a lot of folk on the beach.

The cloud came back in again in the evening, but the wind is going to be from the West


tomorrow and we’re to get ‘sunny intervals with a moderate breeze’.... so we’ll all be buzzin’ tomorrow.

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...
