Overcast ....

3rd September 2022 (Saturday)     07.00 .... Although looking bonnie, even


when the sky is heavily overcast, as it is this morning, our wee corner of  Mother Earth disnae really suit grey: the moody look is never as cheerful and uplifting as a bright and sunny start to a day.   It isn’t raining at the moment, but it looks like we could get some light rain.... before sunny spells move in. 

20.30    It hasn’t been the bonniest o’ days but I biked up to the shops and came home by way of Balbuthie and Kinneuchar;  that is the longest bike run I’ve done since having the virus.    I lost confidence after I fainted, and never wanted to be too far from home;  so today’s run means that I am definitely getting better.... slowly.   Fatigue hit me in the afternoon so I rested.   Tight now I’m feeling chirpy, but will have an early night in bed.


I am partial to the wee tautties that are on the shelves just now so, the other day I bought a pack .... today I spent a good half hour at the sink, picking all the wee ‘eyes’ etc off them:  I have been known to peel them.

The sheets are on the single bed... all I have to do is put the downie intae it’s cover... likewise the pillows into their covers... and we have a bed ready for Iain next weekend.  No wonder I am tired.   I need a cuppa.


21.30   While enjoying the aforementioned cuppa I have been checking the weather for tomorrow:   Fife is covered by a Yellow warning for heavy rain, from midnight tonight through to 15.00 tomorrow afternoon.   I won’t be going far on the bike tomorrow;  in fact it looks like tomorrow could be drawing and computer day.   Oh well .... there’s loads o’ stuff I want to do;  after I finish Iain’s bed!

Sunny spells were few and far between today... hopefully we’ll get a few later on


tomorrow afternoon.    Morning time is forecast to be the wettest part of the day.... somewhere else in Fife.  

I have enjoyed today in spite of it being various shades of grey most of the time; it was pleasantly warm even exposed to the wind;  and it is going to be warm overnight.   I think it’s hot chocolate time.

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
