Feeling excitable ....

6th April 2022 (Wednesday)      08.00.... There’s about 70% cloud cover just

My friend  Sydney's daughter 'Jo'.


now, which means  there’s a good chance of the bits I’m fond of ....sunny spells!    Unfortunately there’s also the chance of precipitation in the form of showers.   The wind, which is fairly frisky, is from the Westerly direction;  what an improvement on the weather we had yesterday!   I don’t think I’ll go out on the bike, but I may have a daunder to the beach later;  my breathing is fine just now.   Must ‘go’.... ever so slight flap on;  ‘Puku’ (bless his imaginary 6 pack) is hungry.

12.30    ‘Jo’ (McKinnie formerly ‘Jo Jo’ Rennie), is visiting her sister Diana,  and came along for a visit.... and a mug of my irresistible morrrrrrrrning coffee.  Jo is my friend Sydney’s daughter.   We had a long chat, followed by a short walk to the beach;  I am  a happy boy.   Even my coffee, which can at times be somewhat ‘wersh’, was of excellent quality... welll.... maybe no’ excellent;  but better than usual.   I might get the bike out in the afternoon.... if showers don’t come our way.   Orf to have something to eat after an exciting morrrrrrrrning.


21.00    This has been a very enjoyable day;  what a difference the sun makes .... and chatting to Jo was the icing on the cake.    Conversation is one of the best ways there is to calm down.  

In the afternoon I took a run out on the bike.... only as far as Chapel Green.   I felt that I could have gone further, but was in a mood for drawing so went home and put the kettle ‘on’ before settling down with the pencils.

I’m beginning to feel my normal self again;  having been under the weather since this cold spell started.   This is good as I am going up to Iain and Jackie’s on Friday:  there’s a vintage Tractor Rally travelling from Ellon to Aberdeen on Saturday  and we want to get a few photographs.   I must remember to take  mask(s) with me.  

I’ve just been out to the bucket and there’s been a shower o’ rain;  a heavy shower by the



look of it.    I have ‘nae plan’ for tomorrow, but will take time out to go out on the bike depending on the weather..... ‘light rain and a fresh breeze’ is the forecast.

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...
