Light cloud .....

8th July 2022 (Thursday)     06.30 ....(Note to me;  remember Tesco at 10.00).  

November sunrise - 2014

There’s a light ESE breeze bringing cloud in from the North Sea, but it’s warm and dry so, though the clouds are of the not very interesting kind, it’s a bonnie enough start to what could be a nice enough day.... once the sun breaks through.   There’s the chance of showers in the afternoon.    I won’t be going out on the bike until after Tesco has been in case I get sidetracked and end up on Balcarres Estate.

11.00   Tesco arrived right ‘on the button’ and everything has been sorted and put away:  I was cleaning the glass (door fanlights) when he arrived so there was no chance of missing him. 

The sun is trying hard to break through... and I need it to succeed ‘cos I have a washing out.   I was going to do a woollen wash but I’ll leave that until Saturday, when it’s forecast to be a better drying day.   Meanwhile, I’ll have a cuppa then finish off cleaning the glass.

15.00    My washing isn’t drying very well.... we’ve had light rain, on and off, for the past couple of hours;  and it looks like it could again soon.  The washing is wet so it stays out;  it might be dry by tomorrow morning.  

As far as ‘working goes I have done well;  in fact I think tomorrow will have to be a rest day.   At the moment I’m having a cuppa because there’s a lack o’ oxygen in the air mix just now; afternoons are always the worst time.   I’ll take the bike out and go to Chapel Green when the air improves.... that might also be tomorrow.

21.30   Owing to the damp spell this evening the bike was never out;   but my washing is.    I’ll go out tomorrow morning early.    Actually I have done well (by my standards) with the glass cleaning today.   I still have the front windows to do but I’ll do them the week before Michael and Janice arrive.    I’m content ... and tired.   I don’t think I have overdone the ‘work’ but I have no doubt I’ll find that out tomorrow morning.   This is the first time I have used step ladders since having the virus so I must be getting better.

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...
