Sunny and warm ....

24th June 2022 (Friday)    11.00 .... We have a brilliant start to the day;  sunny


and warm with only a light breeze .... and I have been enjoying it.  I’ll have a siesta during the hot part of the day.... and be active in the evening time.

I’ve been for the paper, checked the harbour.... then woke up all the folk moored up at Woodhaven:  I had a bag o’ glass jars that had to be dumped.   That was before breakfast.   After breakfast I handed in a prescription, and fuelled up the car;  now I am ready for ‘morrrrrrrrning coffee’  and a potter round the garden.

16.30    It has been a beautiful day... and warm;  too warm for me but I know how to cope with the heat and ‘mauchless’.....lie down on top of the bed for an hour or so.   There are thunder storms, moving North, just South of Newcastle;  I hope they peter out before they get this far.   Having said that;  the nearest lightning strike (so far) was in the Lammermuirs a few minutes ago....definitely North of Newcastle.   Orf to put the kettle ‘on’.


19.30    We got a moody sky ... and even some big rain drops, but the storm didn’t cross the Firth;  not yet anyway.    I went out on the bike to get the moody sky and got back to Ivy just as the big drops o’ rain began.... but it never seriously heavy.   I only went up to Chapel Green then to the Pony Field.   I am  a happy boy.... and I haven’t had a cuppa since I got back: very neglectful.


22.30    I’ve just been checking my status re gas and electricity... paid by Direct Debit.    Right now I am £532 in credit;  £152 credit for electricity and £380 for gas.   The amount surprised me but, come the winter, I don’t doubt that the credit will soon disappear (into some rich pocket)... so it’s hardly worth doing anything about it.   Oh well.... Boris just told us yet he is 'listening';  that said, listening on it's own isn't good enough.

The new 'Four winds'.
 Sometimes I think that Boris' heid is that deeply buried in the sand that you can only see the soles of his feet.

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...
