Overcast and not warm ....

6th June 2022 (Monday)   The 78th anniversary of the D-Day landings:  the beginning of the end of WWII.

07.00    It’s a grey and none not overly warm start to the day.... however we will be bathed

A Friesian coo with wheels.
in sunny spells by midday, luckily it’s only a light breeze from the East so the wind chill factor is low(ish).   I’m going to loup intae the car to go for the paper before breakfast.... oh... and visit the 'arbour to, see if 'Sundance' is where she should be. 

08.30   Well .... I much prefer being out in warm weather, and it ain’t warm out there just now.    Bring on Midsummer’s Day;  our summer usually begins when the sun starts it’s run down to winter...which it does at 10.13, on Tuesday the 21st June.   Warm days ahead.

16.30    Ye Gods .... I had a touch of the ‘mauchless’ this afternoon;  something I got frequently in New Zealand.... rarely here.   It’s when there’s a dry air and you feel like there’s nae oxygen around.   In New Zealand I went and lay on the bed (usually fell asleep) for a couple of hours until the air cooled down;  and that’s what I did today.   It’s actually a bonnie day, but, for me, a bit of a nuisance.   I’ll go out in the evening.  

I was been working in the garden at the time,  and Ivy garden is a sun trap which explains the mauchless.  


19.00    I had a run up to Balcarres in the car and had a daunder round part of the Woodland walk.   The Rhododendrons are looking their best just now.   I’ll have ago at biking up to Balcarres later in the week.... ‘when’ depends on what the weather is doing.

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...
