Breezy .....

4th April 2022 (Monday)      07.30.... There’s a lot of clouds coming


over on a frisky breeze from the Northwest, but I see ‘bloo’ patches so we could have sunny spells with light rain showers later... and it’s warmer.  I’m hoping to get out on the bike later;  up to Chapel Green at least.  Although I like drawing, that’s one of my happiest ways of relaxing, I need exercise.  

12.30    The second kitchen window has been cleaned inside and out;  and I’ve turned the wheels o’ the car.... and been up to Chapel Green on the bike.    The villages are busy so I’m thinkin’ that it must be the school holidays (Easter);  there’s a lot of families around.   I hope the warmer weather stays with us.    Having said that... light rain is forecast for tomorrow.

The car hadn’t been moved since Thursday so I took it up to Kinneuchar and home by Balbuthie;  that’s it for another few days.  

  19.30    Ferry Road has been busy with all kinds of vehicles today;  including one long lorry with a delivery for one of the building sites.   A busy... and interesting place to be is Elie and Earlsferry.


In the afternoon I finished off the first drawing of Rires Castle, taken from the sketch by the Rev Sime done in 1805:  the original sketch is in the Canmore archives.   People are allowed to download the images etc as long as they don’t use them for personal gain.  I think that means money.... not pleasure.    I’ll e-mail them to find out where I stand with my drawing once the final drawing is finished.   The drawing I have done is, more or less, how I want the finished one to look.... with a few corrections to scale etc.

22.00    I did one of the ‘Blue box’ tests tonight....I did it because I saw the box and hadn’t done a blue box one.   It was ‘Clear’ so I’m a happy boy.

Tomorrow is not going to be ‘a good hair day’; it’s raining just now and we’re to have ‘light rain’ and a moderate breeze from the East, tomorrow.   Not a good day for the bike.

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...
