Damp ....

30th June 2022 (Thursday)    07.30 ....Mmmmm;  we have a dreich start to what


I hope is going to be a bonnie day in a wee while.  The sky is showing some promising signs.... but I don't think the bike will be coming out until late afternoon/evening time.  

09.30   I managed a slow wander to the beach on what is now a bonnie morning.   There’s still the threat of showers;  hopefully somewhere else: but not Upper Largo!

20.00    A string o’ days like today and we could have a decent summer;  a bit too warm for me, especially in the car.   That said I’m rarely out in the car in the middle o’ the day... but I had the funeral service at Upper Largo.   There was a good turnout for Bill’s funeral service;  most of whom went to the Hotel for refreshments and a chat afterward.   We managed to get parked in the Hotel Car Park then walk to the kirk and back... albeit slowly.   My breathing has been 'good' today.

Largo kirk.

The car had its photo taken today.   I think the traffic Warden intended putting a ticket on it then noticed that I had a Blue Badge.   Perhaps I should have the badge where it can be seen from further away, but I keep it in the place made for it.   This is the first time I have actually seen a Traffic Warden on Ferry Road for a long time;  I imagine he got a surprise when he turned left at the bottom of Ferry Road.

21.30    Tomorrow looks like being another bonnie, with a ‘chance of showers’, day;  I might go out on the bike first thing .... if the weather is favourable.   I seem to be getting over the virus (especially on sunny days) but don’t want to hinder the recovery, by going out on the wrong kind o’ day.   Today has been excellent... apart from the sadness of Bill’s funeral service.  

I have ‘nae real plan’ for tomorrow;  the ‘Tour’ is on TV (Channel 26 I think it is) in the


afternoon, so all my activities will be before that.   I’m hoping to do some gardening but I’ll take it easier than I did last week;  the not so young muscles need gentle exercise, not lifting heavy boulders.   I think it’s time to make the chocolate, then have a quick browse o’ the TV Channels to see what’s on.


The book I ordered is on the move and could arrive tomorrow or Saturday.... I’d better remember that;  it’s being delivered by Hermes and they let you know when they expect to deliver.   I think it’s time to make the chocolate, and then have a quick browse o’ the TV Channels to see what’s on.

Overcast with light rain .....

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

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
