Wet ....

24th August 2022 (Wednesday)      07.30 .... ‘Bleak’ -  is not a word I am fond

Mmmmm... not a good hair day.

of, but  it’s the word that best describes the weather this morning ....”unpleasantly wet” would be an apt description.   Having said that,  the rain is going to clear away to give us sunny spells in the afternoon.... and a lovely evening.   It could be a ‘romantic’ walk on the beach kind of evening:   At the moment it’s a braw mornin’ for dreamin.

10.30    Although still raining, it’s only light drizzle now; whereas earlier, Ferry Road looked like a river.   The rain is much needed.... but not by farmers bring in the harvest.  I have done some ‘ousework but it’s not a morning for that .... I’m looking forward to Alice and Izzy arriving;  we should manage a quick cuppa before going to the 19th for lunch.   The sky is beginning to look slightly more promising.... we will have sunny spells after lunch.


20.00    The weather eventually settled down and we ended the day with a romantic evening;  I ended up with a migraine.    Before that, Janice, Michael, Alice and I had a mouth watering lunch at the 19th ... that included  an ‘Elie Mess’.... a fruity variation of the Eton Mess.   It was an enjoyable hour and a half, with good food and good company.... and plenty chat.

Back at Ivy Alice and I had a mug of my coffee Finest coffee... and a blether.   Nae chocolate biscuits.   We chatted for an hour then I took Alice back home;  had an uneventful journey.... unless you count going along a One Way street an ‘event’.   That was in Lower Largo.   I now know the right way to go to Leven.... without doing the One Way street.

At Alice’s I had another cuppa, to calm the weary nerves.... then came home via the sign posted route.  I know the short way to Lundin Links or Upper Largo but decided to see ‘iggzactly’ how the  official ‘Diverted’ route got to Elie and Earlsferry ... in could be scenic.  It could be but isn’t .... only longer:  it’s by way of Ceres, Baldinnie  and Largo Ward.   It was just after Baldinnie that the migraine licked in.   All in all I have had a joyful day .... though slightly stressful at times.   I shall have an early night in bed so that I am bright eyed and bushy tailed for taking the ‘Troops’ to Kirkcaldy Station tomorrow morning.

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
