Windy and overcast ....

6th November 2021 (Saturday)     10.00 .... It’s a breezy start to what is


going to be a very breezy day, but at least it was dry when I went for the paper.... and got it!    I’ve done the ‘Villages tour’ and although breezy it wasn’t cold.   The wind is forecast to freshen to F8 in the afternoon;  I could bike up to Chapel Green in that kind of wind, but I’ll see how I feel;  I seem to have no after effects from pruning the lilac tree yesterday, though I expect I’ll fall asleep in front of the tele after lunch.    It’s time for morning coffee.


19.00    We’ve had a bit of everything today, wind rain and sunny spells;  the only constant was the wind.... and it was fresh.    I went up to Chapel Green in the afternoon, and took a few photos from the lee of the Chapel.   It was nice enough out of the wind.... almost warm even, but there wisnae much going on.   We had two ‘Things’ sheltering from the wilder waters of the North Sea, and a load of Eider duck sheltering on the water below Chapel Green.    Eider duck are like corks;  they just bob up and doon with the water.


I have been tired today.... as I thought I might be, after working in the garden yesterday.    I have been out twice on the bike today but that’s all the exercise I’ve had:  most of the time I have been ‘lazy’.  I made ‘sausages and mash’ for lunch and that has been the physical ‘work’ part of today.    The computer has been ‘on’ most of the time.... as has the tele.    The tele acts like a sort of lullaby so I have had a few catnaps today.





20.00    The hatches have been battened doon, and I am now going to make the chocolate and browse the tele channels.    ‘Wild Britain’ was on in the afternoon and I found that interesting;  but Saturday evenings are usually rubbish.    I might end up watching a DVD.

The wind is to moderate by tomorrow morning.... though it will still be windy.    We are


forecast to have ‘strong winds and sunny intervals’.... so a bonnier day;   probably like it was this afternoon though not quite as windy.   I have ‘nae plans’ other than go for the paper and have a run round the villages.

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...
