Slightly damp ....

5th September 2022 (Monday)      07.30.... It’s not the bonniest of mornings; 


we’ve had rain overnight .... but I have a washing going through the machine, and I’m hoping  to hang it out later.   I’m feeling positive, bright and breezy in fact;  unfortunately the sky is mostly overcast, not ‘iggzactly’ the way I’d like it to be:  having said that, we’re only a couple of thousand feet away from a bonnie day.   And it’s breakfast time.

16.30    We ended up with a glorious ‘drying day’ and the washing dried in ‘nae time: I know you will have been wondering about it.   (It will be ironed while I’m watching something on the tele).   Being as it was such a bonnie day I did something I rarely do;  I went out with the camera.... in the middle of the day.   It was pleasantly warm even though the breeze was off the water.    Elaine came round Chapel Green, walking her dog, and joined me on the


‘Webster’ seat where we had a long, and enjoyable, conversation...' while her dog (bless his hairy feet) waited patiently for his walk.   Elaine set off with dog and I moved to The Boss’s seat;  where I slowly began to feel guilty:  why?.... because I hadn’t done any ‘ooverin’ or dustin’ this morning.   I dragged the ‘oover ower the living room when I got back home!   It's been all 'go' today.

22.00    This has been an excellent ‘rest’ day ....it turned out even bonnier than I expected... and warmer.    And it ended with a red sky so tomorrow should be a bonnie day.

I have no plan for tomorrow but the forecast is for us to have ‘thundery showers with a


moderate breeze;  so there should be interesting clouds around us....I’m hoping to see the clouds while they deposit their contents somewhere else.  If the weather is good Alice will come along to Elie, where I will meet her and we will go to Pittenweem Braes to see the outdoor swimming pool, the shelter with the murals.... then walk down to Pittenweem Harbour for an ice cream;  but only if the weather is amenable.

It hasn’t been an exciting day but it has been very relaxing and enjoyable;  and   I’m looking forward to Pittenweem tomorrow so I definitely want the showers to be ‘somewhere else’.

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...
