Light rain ....

15th July 2022 (Friday)    08.30 .... it’s raining just now but it should move


away shortly to give us sunny spells with the chance of light showers for the rest of the day.   The pollen count will be ‘L’ for the early part of the day.

I must have been really tired last night;  I fell asleep about 23.30.... and woke up, feeling really refreshed, at 07.10.   Thoughts of the beach agitated the brain cell... until I looked out.   I made a cuppa.... the ‘plan’ is to watch the golf and work on the computer until the sun breaks through.

11.30    The sky is clearing so we will have a brighter afternoon.   I went for the paper and set off for the harbour, but changed my mind when I got to the bottom of Admiralty Lane.... which I promptly turned into.    I suspect going down to and back from the harbour is going to be tricky this weekend.   I might have a wander to the beach in a wee while;  most of the morning I have been on the computer and watching the golf, and I need to have some exercise.


22.30   The beach was quiet and the tide out when I went down.... but I didn’t venture onto the actual beach.   I sat on ‘Nana’s Seat’ .... enjoyed the tranquillity.... and felt privileged to live in such a place.   I reminisced for a while then bumbled back to Ivy for lunch.

It was too warm for me to do much in the afternoon but I kept my eye on The Open (on the computer), and on le Tour on the tele;  both exciting viewing.   It was sad seeing Tiger on the 18th.... Maggie and I were at St Andrews in 1995, the first time he played in The Open at St Andrews.   I remember watching him drive off the 17th tee.   That was the first year we were in the Fife Exhibition marquee.   Exciting times.

The heat wave forecast for Monday and Tuesday has been upgraded to ‘Red’ for large

.... and then the sun came out!

areas of England... and ‘Amber’ for other areas, including South West Scotland.   It’s going to be hot on Monday and Tuesday.... including at night.   40C;   was mentioned as being possible around the London area.   That is hot... and not good.

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...
