Damp ....

17th July 2022 (Sunday)      06.30 .... As was forecast we have light rain this


morning;  but, forget the light rain.... it’s a nice enough morning and the rain is going to move away and we will have sunny spells soon.   I’m in a ‘want to go out to play’ mood, but there are two variants of ‘the bug’ doing the rounds so I guess ‘playing’ is not a good idea.  I’ll have another cuppa then loup intae the car and go for the paper.

09.00    Everyone will be pleased to know that “all is good at the harbour” with everything being where it should be;  and I remembered to pick up the paper.   It was spitting rain when I was out but the sky should brighten up by midday.   I’m thinking that a spot of caffeine would be a good idea.

Although the villages are busy I don’t think they are as busy as they usually are when ‘The Open’ is on.


19.00    My word ... ‘The Open’ was a cliff hanger right to the end.  The winner putted brilliantly yesterday .... and today.  I have to admit  I was hoping the Norwegian player would win;  we never think of Norway as a golfing nation.... and to have  Norwegian on the Leader Board was different.   Stage 15 of ‘le Tour’ also had an exciting finish;  I’m glad that tomorrow is a ‘rest day... I’ll try to get my bike fixed.... if it isn’t too hot to work outside.   I haven’t done much work today, ... that’s why I am having to work on the bike tomorrow.   ‘Sunny with a gentle breeze’ is the forecast.... and warm ... 25C.

As per weather forecast the weather has been cloudier all day .... though we did have a


few blinks of the sun.  

21.00    Someone has a BBQ going and aroma is firing up my taste buds;  I’m droolin’ ... and I had food not long ago.  I’ll make a cuppa and have a chocolate bicci.   I know that’s not the same as something off a BBQ, but it’s the best I can think of;  other than put on my ‘never been fed for a week look’ and  find the source of the aroma.   Orf to make that cuppa.

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
