Breezy and overcast....

4th October 2022 (Tuesday)  08.00   The sky is heavily overcast with a brisk


wind and the chance of squally showers.... in fact the next few days are going to be windy, with a yellow warning for wind on Wednesday; and probably Thursday.    Funnily enough, the wind was warm when I first went out this morning, but I don’t think I’ll be biking anywhere for a couple of days.   I’m going to do some drawing today; that’s always relaxing.

09.45   I went down to the beach to have the cobwebs blown away:  and they were!   Strangely enough, though windy it isn’t a cold wind.   However it began to spit rain when I was down there so I put the camera in the bag and ambled back to Ivy.    It’s now ‘wet and windy’.   Yep.... it’s a drawing day.


21.00    Instead of drawing I ended up phoning Alice to see if she needed tormenting;  luckily she did .... so I went to Methil, had a cuppa with Alice then we went to Leven to do my shopping, including the ingredients I need for my ‘line em’ up’ sweet.   (I forget the name of it).   We went back to Alice’s, where we had lunch and a braw long chat about ‘the good old days’, before I came home.... to find the Ferry Road still ‘closed’ but the holes finished.   Since then the road has been ‘opened’ officially....with the cones and barriers on the pavement, ready to be uplifted tomorrow.

The rain cleared away in the afternoon o leave us with a dry, if windy, late afternoon / evening.   We’re forecast to have rain overnight, clearing away in the morning;  I might have a ‘lie in’.  The forecast for the daylight hours is ... ‘light rain with a fresh breeze’.

There’s a ‘Friendship Lunch’ in Elie kirk hall tomorrow, so I’ll go to that:  it’s always a


happy event, with a good food and banter.  This will be the first time I’ll have been to anything like this, in Elie Kirk Hall, since before the pandemic.  It will be good catching up with friends... old and new.

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...
