Overcast with 'mizzle' ....

30th August 2022 (Tuesday)    07.30 ....I got up at a more reasonable (06.30)


to find the sky overcast (as per weather forecast) with light Scotch Mist, I think it’s now called ‘mizzle’, having drifted in from the North Sea;  not weather for going out on the bike.   I’ll go for the paper later in the morning... by that time the Chemist will be open, (I’m feeling positive) the ‘mizzle’ back out at sea.... and maybe even a brighter sky heralding in the first signs of sunny spells;  at the moment all the Fife weather cams are grey.

10.30   Mmmmmm.... the ‘mizzle’ is proving to be thrawn;  it is not keen to move back to the North Sea:  I bought scones when I was up at Elie with the intention o’ biking up to Kinneuchar to visit Shona, but that might not happen until the afternoon if the dampness persists until the sunny spells arrive.   I’m still feeling positive!

16.30    I’m wondering if I should bike up to Kinneuchar now.... or leave going to Kinneuchar until Friday.   This would mean scoffing the scones I bought (3 of 4 remain): I don’t think that wouldn’t be too hard a task.   Yes I’ll leave visiting Shona until Friday.  I’ll have a cuppa .... and another scone now, then have a birl roond the Ferry before settling down for the evening. 

 


19.30    Michael phoned (from sunny Sussex) to tell me that the Pittenweem Chip Shop is on fire;  that is sad news.    That was our favourite chip shop;  we were friends with the lassie that managed it.... that was many years ago.   Janice sent a photo she found... and it’s a catastrophic looking fire.  

I never went out on the bike... or haven’t been up to now.   The air has turned quite cool so I might give it a miss;  I don’t like agitating my breathing tubes... they’re awfie delicate since having the virus.    I’ll have a wander up the road after this update instead.

20.30    I’m feeling more or less ‘back to normal’ after overdoing the work at the weekend;  tomorrow I am going to Letham Glen Craft Centre.   I didn’t know that the ‘Craft Centre’ existed.   I go into the ‘Glen’ once a year.... at Cherry Blossom time and I have seen the building but never really paid any attention to it.   It will be interesting to see what is going on in the ‘craft world’.

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...
