Feeling spritely ....

10th  8th June 2022 (Wednesday)    07.00 .... It’s breezy, with a lot of cloud


scuttling over from the southeast, some of them looking heavy with ‘dampness’.   Light rain is forecast for our area for most of today;  I’ll loup intae the car and go for the papers before it arrives....which looks like it could be soon.

08.00    Ye Gods.... I was two days out with the date yesterday and still two days out today;  I’ll get it right tomorrow morning.

The first ‘light spots o’ rain’ hit the car windscreen at 07.11 , just as I settled down in the driving seat.   I’ve been for the paper(s) visited the ‘arbour and I’m back in Ivy about to ‘ave breakfast.   The dampness has cleared the air and breathing is good, but the car windae’s dinnae work: they’re sensitive to dampness.  And.... I’m still feeling spritely... but with a limp.   It’s all ‘go’ this morning. 

  21.00    It has been a funny old day.... not as drab as it as it might have been, but drab nonetheless.    I’ve been busy;  booked myself in for haircut tomorrow, ironed the downie cover and made up the single bed.   Making a bed is hard work nowadays..... but it’s done.


With the weather being dreich I never went out again;  not on the bike or to the beach anyway.   Tomorrow I’ll be going to Leven (haircut);  I thought of going to Dysart ‘arbour but I like a sunny day for that so I’ll leave that until next week.   With cost of fuel, a visit Dysart and Kinghorn harbours will soon be something else in the memory bank.   Still the extra money we’re paying is going into someone’s pocket so they won’t be moaning.  

I have been on the computer now and again, but most of the day has been spent doing bits of ‘ousework and reading ‘How to Read a Church’.

The weather is going to be better tomorrow.... though we’ll have ‘light cloud’


precipitation isn’t mentioned.... and we should have sunny spells after lunch.   It looks like being a good day for getting a haircut;  not too cauld.

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...
