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 friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

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 lunch!   And it was a really good lun

Cold and overcast ....

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
