Overcast ....

2nd February 2022 (Wednesday)      07.00 .... the wind is F4 out in the Firth


just now, and, though cloudy (I can’t see any stars)  but is it dry, and not very cold.   Light rain is mentioned in our forecast, but I am thinking of the ‘sunny spells’ in between any light showers that might creep our way.   I will get the bike out, and go for the paper at 07.30. 

09.15    I’ve been ‘roond the villages’ on the bike;  and , my word, I am a happy boy.   I think I’ll get ready to go to St Monans (in the car) and do the Narrow Wynd, and harbour walk.    The bike battery is 'on charge' and I hope to get out later;  weather permitting.

15.00    We had a few sunny spells in the morning, but, since lunch time the sky has clouded over and there’s a threat of drizzle now and again.   The bike battery is fully charged, but I won’t be going out on it again today.   Apart from the weather being iffy, I had had a migraine (weather) so, will have a cuppa and a couple of pills , then find something on the tele to watch... and fall asleep.

Unusually quiet bottom of Station Road.

I went to St Monans, but, by the time I got half way up Station Road, and could see the walkers, they were getting ready to set off.    I did the Narrow Wynd walk as planned;  the coffee I’d made to take with me had been left in Ivy, so I bumbled my way home and had it (the coffee) there.



21.00    Hmmmmm ..... I’ve got a bike with a fully charged battery, but it looks like Friday will be the better day to go up to Kinneuchar etc.    Tomorrow is going to be windy with light cloud....with strong winds in the afternoon.  

I’ve had an enjoyable day today;  apart from the migraine, which slowed me down in the afternoon:  as predicted above, I fell asleep, and it took a while for me to get going after I woke up.  I’ve had a ‘rest afternoon’ after a really agreeable morning.

Tomorrow?    As usual, my activities all revolve around what the weather is doing, so the


wind will hamper me going ‘out to play’ on the bike.    Today I was wearing the safety helmet, and high visibility vest that I got for Christmas (he’s a clever laud is Santa):  the helmet fits perfectly .... and I can wear a woollen hat below it to keep the brain warm.   The woollen hat is a ‘must have’.

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...
