Light rain ....

17th June 2022 (Friday )    06.30 .... a light shower bumbled it’s way over just


now so I changed my mind about going out on the bike;  the light rain is forecast to move away  over the morning, and we’re to have sunny spells with a fresh breeze.   Although damp at present its warm.... slightly muggy in fact.   I’m going to have an early breakfast, before loupin’ intae the car to go for the paper.

08.30    I got caught with some big spits o’ rain at the harbour, but only for a few minutes.... I was in the car, and got out after the shower passed.   The wind has freshened since I got ‘up’ but it’s not cold.   I came home by way of Kinneuchar but didn’t stop:  and, I might bike up to Kinneuchar in the afternoon.

I think I might be able to catch up with the ‘ouse work today;  ‘ousework has been neglected since I began preparing and painting the table.   


11.00    I don’t know whether to watch cycling (The Tour of Slovenia) or wash the lobby, bathroom and kitchen flairs.  Plan : I’ll watch a wee bit o’ the cycling then wash the floors when to sun breaks through;  when the sun’s out the floors dry quicker.

With the weather being mixed I’ve had a quiet (lazy) morning but I’m starting to get into a ‘work’ mood:   a cuppa is required before I do anything.

20.45   I’ve had a mixed (and interesting day).  On the tele I watched the highlights of the Slovenian Tour;  then swept the lobby, bathroom and kitchen floors;   the ‘plan’ being to wash them tomorrow, because tomorrow is going to be a good drying day.  

I decided to take a break and found a documentary about my favourite artist; 


Claude Monet.   He always painted ‘plein air’ and I don’t think there’s anyone painted ‘light’ better than he did.  The documentary was based on letters he sent to various friends over his lifetime.   I didn’t fall asleep. 

The table top is near enough finished, and will be tomorrow.

22.00   I had a run up to Kinneuchar (in the car) to catch the kirk in evening light.   It’s a nice evening.... but cool.

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...
